Define get: the return value is indeed a promise but does it also print a promise?

This is super basic get-concerto returns a promise. I want to see the value - The contents of the file I am retreiving. I thought the let helped with this - Maybe I need an await in there (get-concerto “test.cto”) #<Promise[~]>

The let will get you a local that binds to the value but the let expression itself returns a promise. You can't break out of a promise. If you want, you can also use fs/readFileSync

It takes a bit getting used to working with promises, but you'll get the hang of it

Doesn't ring a bell, full repro welcome

Kk thx I'll look more and come back if necessary I'm sorry just thought you might recognise it

No worries :)

Could it be that you are constructing a symbol with symbol yourself?

not using symbol

(ns release
  (:require
   ["child_process" :as child-process]
   [clojure.string :as string]
   [exec-nbb :as en :refer [ps-run w-kg-dir]]
   [promesa.core :as p]))

(defn release []
  (p/do
    (println 1)
    (ps-run {"cwd" "C:\\Users\\Administrator\\projects\\kangrok_build_dir\\kangrok-core"}
            "rm -r .shadow-cljs")
    (println 2)
    (ps-run {"cwd" "C:\\Users\\Administrator\\projects\\kangrok_build_dir\\kangrok-core"}
            "rm -r .\\public")
    (println 3)
    (ps-run {"cwd" "C:\\Users\\Administrator\\projects\\kangrok_build_dir\\kangrok-core"}
            "npx shadow-cljs release tab-app")
    (println 4)
    (ps-run {"cwd" "C:\\Users\\Administrator\\projects\\kangrok_build_dir\\kangrok-core"}
            "npx shadow-cljs release tab-backend")
    (println 5)
    (ps-run {"cwd" "C:\\Users\\Administrator\\projects\\kangrok_build_dir\\kangrok-core"}
            "cp assets\\index.html public\\index.html")
    (println 6)
    (ps-run {"cwd" "C:\\Users\\Administrator\\projects\\kangrok_build_dir\\kangrok-core"}
            "cp assets\\simple_main.js public\\assets\\app\\js\\simple_main.js")))

it's doing this, then the other ns header looks like this and is just some tiny wrappers around child process and promises

(ns exec-nbb (:require ["child_process" :as child-process] [promesa.core :as p]))

but don't worry it's not a real blocker was just hoping you might just recognize it, I will work around it and come back at some point and narrow down the source

I'm just using nbb to incrementally script my release process, so every time it's slightly more scripted instead of being manual commands or a shell script

cool. Normal bb might be an easier fit for this, but cool to see that you're using nbb for it

for removing files, you can avoid shelling out, with babashka fs, :

(fs/delete-tree ...)

and (fs/copy ...)

and for shelling out:

(shell {:dir ...} "command")

I don't use clj other than to compile my cljs and I've day insha'Allah I'll master self hosted

I've day I'll improve my java skills too

One*

But for now

no worries, this approach should work too

Thx that's interesting, the code is ugly I'm just incrementally trying to migrate from the shell didn't know it had those built in

well, normal bb has babashka.fs - nbb doesn't. but "fs" from node has a lot of this stuff too

e.g. https://nodejs.org/api/fs.html#fsrmdirsyncpath-options

and by using that instead of shelling out, your code will become more cross platform too

This looks weird indeed

I'll try and repro it here locally or on Windows

I can reproduce the problem on Windows

Also on macos. It seems a problem specific with the "readfilesync" package

@U054219BT Did you intend to use this package? It seems to contain pure nonsense https://www.npmjs.com/package/readfilesync?activeTab=explore

I suppose you meant to write:

(:require ["fs" :as fs])

(fs/readFileSync ...)
