Clojurians Log v2

hey @all. I'm a relatively new clojurian but really enjoying the language so far. Looking through the issues now but I was wondering if there was any task for perun that was relatively newbie friendly. I'm not a novice programmer, just new to Clojure.

ok, now I feel dumb, I just tried to spin up a Simplest Thing Possible (tm) and got clojure.lang.ExceptionInfo: Unable to resolve symbol: perun in this context

hey @bwstearns let me think

You didn’t try using perun yourself yet, right?

that's what I am trying to do, just following the user tutorial so I understand how to use it

It seems like I'm missing some installation step since it's a boot error

I get it at the boot --help step

;;  build.boot

(set-env!
 :source-paths #{"src" "content"}
 :dependencies [[perun "0.3.0" :scope "test"]])

(require '[io.perun :refer :all])


;; boot.properties

BOOT_CLOJURE_VERSION=1.7.0
BOOT_VERSION=2.5.5
BOOT_EMIT_TARGET=no

I think you need single quote before [[

Like here https://github.com/hashobject/perun/blob/master/examples/blog/build.boot#L4

oh wait... I seem to be an idiot, you need to run boot related commands from inside /content?

sorry, not quite sure what you mean by from inside /content

I was running it from /my-app

mkdir my-website                         # creates the directory
cd my-website                            # moves you into the directory

this appears to make a difference because I get the error in the my-website dir but not the my-website/content dir

Looking into Getting started guide

no you actually need to run boot command from my-website not my-website/content

did you try adding missing '

For some reason GitHub rendered example wrong. I see ’ in the source but it’s not displayed

ohhh ok

Sorry for the misunderstanding (also for the wiki edit collision just there)

no worries. I’m actually surprised that single quote is not rendered

let me know if you hit more problems

Thanks, will do.

And it works, awesome.

great, good that it works. I don’t have idea for beginner friendly tasks/bugs yet but I will think about it more

@bwstearns: Sorry about that quoting issue, githubs code block renderer just drops them for some reason :(

@martinklepsch: no worries. That's the beauty of open source. To paraphrase, many feet make all mines trigger? Did anyone discover what was up with the missing quote?

@bwstearns: you mean the reason?

@bwstearns: I have no clue, to make it worse in some places the quote is displayed perfectly in others in the same code block it's not there at all

That is bizarre.

OK. Figured out the ' thing

kind of

putting '[[ makes it disappear, putting it in front of '[ [ does not

Even though it's in a codeblock is it still doing something expecting a link or something?

ohhh!

you're amazing if that's true!

👏

Woohoo!

Adding "arbitrary formatting conundra" to linkedin skills.

@bwstearns: thanks for fixing that!

man I've spent what felt like hours trying to figure this out 😄

@martinklepsch: no problem. It looks less pretty now but it executes. I'll find out how to bug someone at github about it because the formatting really shouldn't be eating that quote mark. I looked through their markdown specification and it really shouldn't be happening.

@martinklepsch: mind if I CC you on the support email?

no, sure

cool, thanks for puttin in the effort @bwstearns

@martinklepsch: no worries. I'll try to make sure that I document/submit fixes for any toe stubbing while using the project 😄

wow, good job finding workaround for the quote issue

@bwstearns: as an idea for a new task todo I would suggest looking into http://www.metalsmith.io/. They have list of plugins. Maybe you would find some plugin useful and would like to implement similar one in the perun.

E.x. https://github.com/doodzik/metalsmith-google-analytics this one looks like a small one

@podviaznikov: nice. Looking at it now.

it’s is just for inspiration. Maybe @martinklepsch would have some suggestions/ideas too

I wanted to write a task that renders plain edn data in some way. I.e. I have a list of books I've read in an edn file and I want a books.html file made from it

it's pretty straightforward I think

but to properly integrate you'll need to accustom yourself with how perun works

Yeah, that is a good one. You can also put this lis right now in the perun.base.edn and it would be available in all pages. But I agree that having it not in the global meta is better way

Interesting.
