don't do it on the top level but in a function or in a delay

i’m looking at your Babashka code / github to try to find how you did it haha

but can’t really find it, as this line

(let [bb-edn-resource (fs/file bb-edn-dir "META-INF" "bb.edn")]

add it’s to the jar i think

https://www.graalvm.org/latest/reference-manual/native-image/dynamic-features/Resources/

read those docs + don't cause any side effects on the top level, they will be executed during image build. Do it in a function

unless you want to cause the side effect to be executed during image build of course

yeah i have found that Accessing Resources link, but couldn’t figure out how to use it:sweat_smile:

can’t i just use -H:ExcludeResources=“….”

you can

trying this now

-H:ExcludeResources=".*/config.edn$"

check out how clj-kondo does it, it includes the entire resources/clj_kondo/impl directory inside the binary

Native Image takes a while to compile on 2019 MBP Intel ha

https://github.com/clj-kondo/clj-kondo/blob/70f4d483daa63b4606eaf65e48b6e84a1650510c/resources/META-INF/native-image/clj-kondo/clj-kondo/native-image.properties#L5

Use the -O1 flag, it will speed up compilation

or even -Ob

thanks, i will experiment

probably you’ve had to invest COUNTLESS hours in figuring out GraalVM Native Image ha

although i was surprised to see it actually became easier with GraalVM 21.0.2

hmm tried several approaches with the -H:ExcludeResources=“..” but none of them work

Awesome, wrapping it in an fn did the trick easily

(def read-config
  (fn []
    (-> "resources/config.edn"
        (slurp)
        (edn/read-string))))

aka defn

haha oops, that didn’t click yet:sweat_smile: but you are correct haha

done, https://github.com/naxels/my-pocket-parser/commit/fd34037202dd96a1b5d46e3f3d87fd12b33acbd0

like how you can do @…. and it will reference the person on Gh
