Clojurians Log v2

Hi there -- much thanks for Joker... this is a pretty cool tool for both linting and scripting.

I have a use-case where I want to pass off the stdin tty to a sub process -- e.g. effectively call "exec" and never return to my process. Is there a way of doing this, or perhaps an easy path where I could add it?

Would implementing os/exec be the right path forward?

well, joker.os/sh is already implemented using os/exec facilities, it just doesn't support passing stdin. I'll look into it. I am thinking it should be a more generic version of joker.os/sh. Something like (joker.os/exec name opts), where opts can have :dir, :args and :stdin keys.

Hello folks! I am trying to send an http call but I get:

user=> (require '[joker.http :as http])

I installed it with nix-env -i joker

ok it seems like working with the latest standalone executable

Looks like nix-env installs a fairly old version of Joker; if that doesn't have joker.http, you'd likely see the same behavior. Try building Joker yourself as described on the main Joker github page.

Ah, yes.

cool thanks!

works like a charm! 😄

a question I have is, how do you folks distribute joker scripts? say for running on CI, do you clone the whatever repo and just joker filename.joke?

I hand-install joker to /usr/bin and have my *.joke scripts start off with #!/usr/bin/env joker, but that's just me cobbling together stuff for now.

yeah I was thinking about doing that as well...

ok sorry another lil' error I am getting

$ joker src/cd/assert_environment.cljs

this file contains (:require [clojure.string :as string])

and a couple of defs

probably I need to set the classpath or something?

There's no clojure.string in Joker; just joker.string. Joker still has a rather small library of packages in and of itself. There's an undocumented --classpath (or -c) option, I think it is, that we added recently, so it can search for other libraries instead of just assuming they're somewhere in the current working directory.

oh got it, so I would need to change my scripts ... cool thank you!
