Has anyone been able to run REBL using spacemacs?

nmkip12:08:59

I'll check reveal and portal

practicalli-johnny12:08:19

I think portal will be easier to run with CIDER, reveal works more like REBL, although you can use reveal as a tap> source

practicalli-johnny06:08:34

There are several tools similar to REBL for data browsing or inspecting data. I still use cider-inspect the most though, as its built into CIDER. http://practicalli.github.io/clojure/clojure-tools/data-browsers/

nmkip12:08:37

After reading this, I tried cider-inspect. I liked it. A couple of questions: • Do you have evil keys in that buffer? I can only move with hjkl • I inspected (pressed enter) a keyword in a map and cider-inspect buffer showed me its content. Is there a way to return to the upper level of the map?

practicalli-johnny12:08:01

L (captial l) takes you to a parent, if you are in a nested data structure

nmkip14:08:24

I prefer staying in emacs. I'll test cider-inspect with some big ring request

practicalli-johnny14:08:59

I found cider-inspect very useful when working with a data science data set I used for Covid19 visualisations. Really nice for paging through data and nested expressions. I don't really understand tap, datafy and REBL that much yet, but great to see them evolve.

nmkip14:08:59

I haven't watched those videos yet

jumar06:08:20

I use inspect all the time. I haven’t found rebl all that compelling

trying to do a new installation of spacemacs on a new OS, it is not able to find most of the packages such as helm etc. I have even tried starting it with the --insecure flag

murtaza5221:08:01

after cloning spacemacs I have switched to the develop folder, I am using the cloned practicalli/spacemacs.d

practicalli-johnny06:08:04

That's quite strange. You could move the .spacemacs.d and restart, just to check there isn't a bug in there (apologies if there is)

practicalli-johnny06:08:03

If Emacs is less than version 26.3 then it could be the authentication issue with melpa.

practicalli-johnny06:08:04

If it's MacOSX it could be running the old Emacs 22 that is included by default

murtaza5206:08:18

Its manjaro linux, and emacs version is 27.2, i just tried a fresh install of soom emacs and it worked (I guess its cloning repos instead if installing packages from melpa but not sure)

practicalli-johnny06:08:18

Could be melpa having issues, it's rare but happens.

practicalli-johnny06:08:40

I was using Emacs 27 without any issues, although am using Emacs 28 snapshots on Ubuntu at the moment

practicalli-johnny12:08:24

Another thought, it could be that some emacs packages have been installed via the manjaro package manager, this could cause some conflict (although I've not used manjaro for a long time)

murtaza5211:08:45

maybe it was a melpa issue, started it again after a day and its working 🙂

practicalli-johnny11:08:10

Melpa happens 😁

murtaza5211:08:15

could you also list what binaries would be good to have installed for searching etc I underdstand these are optional ones, however they could really improve the dev experience

practicalli-johnny13:08:11

Easy, I already did that 😁 https://practicalli.github.io/spacemacs/before-you-start/recommended-command-line-tools.html I've added this link to the practicalli/spacemacs.d README to make it more discoverable

practicalli-johnny13:08:27

Let me know if you think something is missing
