Clojurians Log v2

just hit this bug reported sep 2019 https://ask.clojure.org/index.php/8497/protocol-implementations-metadata-clojurescript-differently?show=8497 any way to track it in public jira or request core team to review it?

@gdanov You can upvote the issue to signal more priority

Also you could ask in #cljs-dev if there is already a JIRA issue for this and if there is interest in addressing it

thanks. my vote is #2 so I’ll take it to the chanel

Oh no, I got swallowed by a “No reader function for tag object.”

So, the local-storage cache had a corruption, removed it and everything is fine

But that error message really got me hanging not knowing what to do

Sorry… I don’t see context for this. Do you know the tag that you’re failing on?

A JS object's default string representation is #object[Object]

that would be interpreted by the reader as a tagged literal with tag #object

at least thats my guess for what happened

Yes, that’s exactly how the reader sees it

Is this imported data, or did you generate it?

If you can regenerate the code, then that’s what you want to do. If you can’t, then you can break bend the rules:

=> (def a (edn/read-string {:readers {'object identity}} "#object[Object]"))
=> (type a)
cljs.core/PersistentVector
=> (type (first a))
cljs.core/Symbol

You can have a non-namespaced reader tag (in this case 'object) and it will give you a 1 element vector with the symbol Object inside of it. You can choose to do what you want. It’ll get you through the reading phase anyway.

To the best of my knowledge, this is not documented, and it could break in future… but it’s a possibility if you have no other choices

The reason I think it’s against the rules is because the Clojure reader docs and the edn docs say that tags have to be namespaced. However, this is not enforced.

hmmmm. can you access the repl via ssh?

what is the best way to get the calling namespace in a macro

as a strawman, i'd like to write a macro that does

(my-macro abc) -> ::calling.ns/abc

(defmacro my-macro [x]
  (keyword (str *ns*) (name x)))

won't that get the ns of the macro

no, *ns* is bound to the "current/calling" ns when expanding macros.

there is also (-> &env :ns :name) but thats CLJS only, *ns* also works in CLJ
