I suppose this code won't work as well.

? The code works just fine

Without the type hint, I get a reflection warning, but that's it.

I thought this is about such code in CLJ

(deftype HttpFile [-chunk-size])

(.-chunk-size (HttpFile. 1))
Execution error (IllegalArgumentException) at user.playground/eval28391 (playground.clj:230).
No matching field found: chunk_size for class user.playground.HttpFile

The field is called chunk-size, not -chunk-size.

. calls it as a method, .- retrieves the value of the field

I see, Cursive understands only (.-chunk_size (HttpFile. 1))

That should work, Cursive does understand that syntax for class fields. Is this CLJ, CLJS or CLJC?

@U0567Q30W CLJ. It's aleph.http.core. There's two uses, and afaict, Cursive doesn't understand either, though it does understand the other fields in the HttpFile type. My guess was the hyphen was the cause, but ¯\(ツ)/¯

@U0567Q30W Any updates?

I can’t reproduce this in the general case, I’ll check Aleph:

There’s definitely something odd there. Most of those are working, e.g. from HttpFile. However, .-chunk-size does not work, for some reason.

Ah, I think I have found the problem. .-chunk_size does work, because that’s what the actual field is called.

(dash replaced with underscore)

However, Clojure does accept the .-chunk-size format, it must do some magic there.

Ah, I see I didn’t read your first message closely enough, I thought you were saying that the .-field access method didn’t work, but plain dot access (`.field`) did. Either way, I’ll fix that.

https://github.com/cursive-ide/cursive/issues/2797, this is fixed for the next build.

> Ah, I see I didn’t read your first message closely enough, I thought you were saying that the .-field access method didn’t work, but plain dot access (`.field`) did. No, that was the other person. I think they were confused. But I was talking about dashes after the field start. Thanks for fix!
