@cmdrdats: WRT your tweet - yeah, you can do this

(this was going to be longer than 140 chars)

awesome - how?

I was trying cmd-alt-Y (sync project)

but that doesn't seem to do anything

You can do it using the Refresh action in the leiningen toolwindow. But there’s a bug in the current version which doesn’t save the files to disk first.

You can either File->Save All, or switch to another app and back (IntelliJ saves on lost focus)

oh! I never saw the leiningen tool windows before

awesome, thanks!

The bug is fixed in the next build.

you can add arbitrary other projects to the window there?

without using checkouts

Generally that’s only a good idea if they’re part of the same conceptual project.

ye, I'd use it for working on a main project and some deps

But yeah, you can do that. See https://cursiveclojure.com/userguide/leiningen.html for some info

fantastic, thanks

actually, the doc you probably want there is missing from that page, see https://github.com/cursiveclojure/cursive/issues/989

i kept having to ln -s in checkouts, quit intellij and come back

Hehe, no, it should all be picked up and just work.

cool 😄

Navigation etc will all work across the projects

love your work with cursive btw - do you have some kind of timeline you're working toward, re: making it a commercial product?

Thanks! Yeah, I’ll be charging for it soon. I’m at the stage of waiting on banks for payment systems, and waiting on lawyers for licence agreements.

ah, good

So: within a couple of months sort of soon.

It's a mammoth thing you've pulled off, I can't imagine it's sustainable unless you start getting paid for it proper soon

Yeah, it’s been a ton of work. But money isn’t the main limiting factor at the moment, except in that if I had tons of it I could hire more people

hehe - that would be neat

The main limitation is just time to work on it, and that’s mostly limited by my daughter 😉

hehe, well - that's the good kind of limitation 😄

kids grow up too fast to skimp on spending time with them

Exactly. If I were young and single Cursive would be at version 7 by now, rather than still in beta

haha - or maybe it would have failed, because you wouldn't have been as deliberate about the bits you added

Hehe, that’s entirely possible too!

(I have many burning wrecks in my past...)

what bit are you focussing on at the moment?

Mostly on getting things ready for selling Cursive, so payments etc and brushing up the website etc.

Lots of boring time consuming bits.

ah, cool

ye, that stuff always wastes way too much time 😕

I’m also planning to add a test runner soon and expand the test support (Midje, cljs.test etc)

And right now I’m investigating re-vamping the lein support, which is pretty painful for all concerned.

nice

wanting to get boot in there? or is that a bit of a non-goal?

It’s definitely a goal but a tricky one. I’m actually interested in using boot to build Cursive itself.

wow, that sounds like a project and a half

is cursive written in clojure?

Unfortunately boot requires Java 7 but I have to support Java 6. So I need to run it out of process which is tricky to make fast.

ah

Mostly, yeah - there’s a bunch that has to be written in Java for startup time issues, but all the interesting bits are Clojure

I’m planning to migrate the bits that are required to be Java to Kotlin to make that a bit more palatable

awesome would it be easy to expose a clojure repl into the actual intellij process?

would love to poke around with intellij plugins, but I'm not particularly interested in mucking around in more java, if I can help it

Yeah, I have that planned - in fact, there already is one which I use, but it’s not much use without the Cursive APIs which are not public yet.

There’s already an IntelliJ plugin to allow the IDE to be tweaked using Groovy. I’m planning to use the ideas and perhaps some of the code but using Clojure.

neat

The extension API will mostly at first be about allowing resolution support for libs to be added.

So people can add support for libs that they write or use.

But IDE tweakability is on the list too.

haha, so people can tweak their own frankcursive

ahem

I just joined the channel, so this convo may have already happened. Is anyone else having a problem resolving symbols inside of an extend-type form?

i.e.

(extend-type A
  IDoThings
  (-do-things [{:keys [a b c] :as this}]
    ;; cannot resolve a, b, c, or this here
  ))

@potetm: I think that should work, although it’s possible that Cursive isn’t checking for destructuring there.

Hmm, no, it looks like it should be.

@cfleming: That appears to be the case. If there is no destructuring, it appears to work.

Is this in CLJS or CLJ?

clj

However, if one of the arguments are destructured, it doesn’t work.

Oh wait, just noticed one more step to repro.

I have two protocols I’m implementing in the same extend-type. I’m in the second when it doesn’t work.

The first appears to work correctly.

There’s something about that form it doesn’t like - I can reproduce it with just that one.

So this works for me:

(extend-type String
  Runnable
  (run [{:keys [a b c] :as this}]
    ;; cannot resolve a, b, c, or this here
    a b c
    ))

I think the problem is perhaps that the method is incorrect for the protocol? Is that possible?

Lemmie triple check that real quick. I usually rely on cursive to tell me if I got it right 😉

Haha, I wouldn’t rely on that in this case, there’s no validation for that at the moment 😉

haha that’s funny. Good to know

Except that resolution will frequently break if the method is invalid.

Right. That must be what I noticed. I thought I noticed something that would tip me off.

The tool is just too good now.

Okay, there’s a full test case. I believe I got my p’s and q’s in order.

Looks good, thanks - I’ll take a look at that now.

Well, looks bad, rather.

Actually, I just tried that and it works for me.

@potetm: What doesn’t work for me is the completion, but the resolution once I type the symbol in does work.

Ah yes. Correct.

Word, meanings, important…. right.

Hehe

Right completion doesn’t work in those cases.

Ok, great, thanks for the test case - I’ll fix that.

Thanks man!

And in fact, it’s still broken without the destructuring.

Yeah, there are times when it appears to work for me. But I’ve not figured out the rhyme or reason.

Maybe it’s when the protocol is in another namespace?

No, because in that test case they’re in the same one.

https://github.com/cursiveclojure/cursive/issues/1005, anyway.

Yeah, this is weird. I definitely have a block of code where it works. (The protocol in that example is from another namespace.) But it’s production code. I can’t get a test case working.

Aaaaand the prod code doesn’t work anymore either.

Alright, I have nothing to add. All done here.

@potetm: Hehe, don’t worry, I’ll be able to track it down from that repro case.
