Clojurians Log v2
portal
Apologies for the dumb question. I'm trying to recreate the workflow to get portal-present working, so I can try to use it to structure some analysis with slides and sections (a la kindly/clay, but without having to always re-process the entire workbook each time). When I switch to the presentation branch and run portal-internals, it works but it seems like some npm deps have degraded a bit and shadow-cljs has some difficulties connecting etc, plus it seems a little tied to the HEAD commit it's at. When instead I try to run portal-present -- by loading up the repo in calva and jacking in using that directory as the jack-in project root, whether or not I use the :nrepl alias, it just hangs and hangs on jacking in. Is there something silly I'm missing re workflow?
@djblue are we decidedly supposed to have a default vs-code.edn (or corresponding for other editor) file somewhere? I’ve got @seancorfield’s custom commands from https://github.com/seancorfield/vscode-calva-setup/blob/develop/calva/config.edn#L51-L97 in there, but when I try to run “portal start”, it always dies with
; Execution error (ExceptionInfo) at portal.runtime.jvm.launcher/get-config (launcher.clj:28).
; No config file found: vs-code.edntouch an empty .portal/vs-code.edn either in the repo of the project or in my .config/portal , it starts giving me errors about a null host, so it seems like I shouldn’t need that file at all.
The Portal extension lays down that file when it starts up (or should do) and then starting Portal with the VS Code launder uses that file (to figure out how to communicate with VS Code).
If you use a different launcher target, it shouldn't care whether that file is present or not.
My config/code assumes the Portal extension in VS Code and the VS Code launcher 🙂
That’s it — the portal extension. Thanks as always @seancorfield for all that you do too! I should have caught — I assumed the dependency itself took care of it.
I'll see why things aren't working, but I wonder if https://github.com/djblue/portal-workflows might be a better starting point 🤔
You should be able to call portal.workflows/-main to open the slides
Beautiful. Thank you!
Oh, that's actually the talk from last year's conj, which is what I thought the other one was in the first place!
I forked the one in portal and made a bunch of improvements so it should be better. I wanted to make sure it worked well from outside of the portal git repo.
totally. much cleaner
thank you so much
https://github.com/djblue/portal-workflows/blob/main/.vscode/settings.json#L17-L22 is how you can get a cljs repl. It doesn't require shadow-cljs and hooks you directly into the sci based evaluation runtime baked into the client.
Let me know if you run into any issues 👍
Will do!
