Clojurians Log v2

Looking for a current template or gist that will let me get going with current libs with Hoplon and Castra. I’ve got a sample I built in the Fall of 2016, but trying to get going with the old hoplon-castra boot template has lead to several hours of dead ends. It’s been a few years since I’ve done anything for real in CLJ/CLJS, and I pulled this stuff out last night and got excited to convert an old personal rails project over, but not finding success so far.

Now I’m doubly confused. I killed my old app that was running and when I restarted it (`boot dev`), I got errors. I am sure I didn’t change anything in that project. clojure.lang.ExceptionInfo: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: javax.xml.bind.DatatypeConverter, compiling:(org/httpkit/server.clj:1:1) I did update boot (but not the version in boot.properties) this morning via brew. I’m at a loss. I’ll come back Monday and see if anyone is around.

@jamieorc there was a bug with the brew script, I think someone has a PR open with a working fix at the homebrew project

I would install using the install script

@flyboarder you mean for brew upgrade boot-clj?

yeah

oh man. I’m so at a loss. I was like, well I’ll go back and play with the 2016 project and then it won’t start

I’ll try that

@flyboarder I used sudo bash -c “cd /usr/local/bin && curl -fsSLo boot && chmod 755 boot” and it gave me 2.6.0

yeah

should I use/not use 2.8.3?

then it will update when your project is set to a higher version in boot properties

ok, thanks

@flyboarder Thanks. My old project is running again

👍

@flyboarder is there a template for the current release of hoplon (and castra)? I’ve been pretty stuck on that. Maybe the problem was the boot issue.

probably not, castra hasnt been updated in a while, while it should be stable

hoplon has had many internal improvements

Recipe? Gist?

I know one of my jr devs was working on updating the demos a while back

https://github.com/hoplon/demos/tree/master/castra-chat

maybe give that a try, if you have problems i’ll get him to fix the demo

Thanks, I’ll have look

looks like a whole bunch of the examples got updated 6 months ago. That’s good.

that might not mean that they run tho, just that dependencies were updated

@nolanbjelley @jamieorc might need some help with the demos you updated

@nolanbjelley has joined the channel

Can you follow up and make sure that demo is working

Sure. I’ll let you know. Dunno if it’ll be this evening or not

oh, you were probably writing to nsauce
