scittle
I am using the scittle nrepl setup with some success, but having an issue:
With this bb.edn, I am able to use bb dev task to start the nrepl (relay) server. And if I jack into port 1339 in Calva, I am able to eval the cljs code from my editor.
I also have the bb nrepl-eval task to evaluate a code (string) in scittle runtime from the command line.
If I jack-in in Calva first, the nrepl-eval task works. But If i dont jack-in first, and try to use the bb task first, i get this error that symbols are unresolved:
ex: bb nrepl-eval "(test-trace)"
"#error {:message \"Could not resolve symbol: test-trace\", :data {:type :sci/error, :line 1, :column 1, :message \"Could not resolve symbol: test-trace\", :sci.impl/callstack #object[cljs.core.Volatile {:val ({:line 1, :column 1, :ns #object[Tr user], :file nil})}], :file nil, :phase \"analysis\"}, :cause #error {:message \"Could not resolve symbol: test-trace\", :data {:type :sci/error, :line 1, :column 1, :file nil, :phase \"analysis\"}}}"
You need to be in the right namespace before you can evaluate a var that's defined in that namespace, but you could try to evaluate the fully qualified symbol
so if my scittle cljs ns is playground , then the fully qualified symbol would be playground/test-trace ?
yes
if that also fails, try something like inc or whatever is defined in clojure.core
Ok, will try.
How can i “be” in the right namespace to use unqualified symbols? Like how it works when I jack in with Calva first?
Maybe using :preloads in bp/start! ?
add (in-ns 'playground) to your expression?
I don't remember what preloads does in bp/start, been a while
but sounds relevant
Hoping to initialize this in the task, so I dont have to add it to every call.
Seems like I could add it to :expr (first *command-line-args*)
sure, yes
also perhaps you can provide :ns in the nrepl client? if not, we could probably add that
this would likely solve it as well
I think that would be the proper solution tbh
will try this also:
:expr (do (in-ns 'playground) (first *command-line-args*))yep that's good, expect that the last thing is a string
so make the whole thing a string
Oh right, thanks!
> provide :ns in the nrepl client
you mean babashka/nrepl-client ?
yes, but it first needs to support it, currently it doesn't I think
issue welcome + PR, you can just try this locally I guess until it works. sending the `"ns" "playground" in the bencode message should make this work
Ok will try :
:expr (str "(do (in-ns 'playground) " (first *command-line-args*) ")")well actually it doesn't support this in the sci nrepl server either yet
both sides should support this, it's a common nrepl option
Works!! 🙌 Thank you!
This is for my cljs in Photoshop project I’ve been toying with for a few years. If i can flesh out a meaningful api and reproducible setup I look forward to publishing it sometime.
:-D
I’m using the BB task to send commands to repl from Talon voice (python shelling out). So voice-activated clj functions in Photoshop, while otherwise working manually.
And no jvm process overhead!
