Clojurians Log v2

hi all noob here (started clojure a day ago). how should I load a dependency in proto repl (or any repl for that matter)? Thanks

@sneakypeet dependency as in require a namespace or load a jar?

@sneakypeet also check #beginners if you run into things that are not strictly protorepl related

:thumbsup: sorry realized I should have asked their after I hit enter.

will go ask there as it might benefit others 🙂

@sneakypeet well, depending on whether you were asking about the require stuff or loading a jar it might be protorepl specific (require is general but loading a jar may be specific)

(I'm not even sure myself, heh)

So I want to try out clj-http

lein has downloaded the dependency, but I get file not found exception

when I try with (require '[clj-http.client :as http])

or even (use 'clj-http.client)

so I am not sure if I should require it differently somehow

that looks fine. How are you starting the repl session?

I basically followed the advanced atom setup suggested by the author, and then just call Proto Repl: Toggle

I see. Unfortunately I'm not sure if Proto Repl makes use of the information in your project.clj — you could try starting a repl with lein repl and then connecting to it via proto repl

I think there is a "Proto Repl: Connect" thing or similar that you should find via the command palette @sneakypeet

ok cool will give that a try. #learnallthethings

ok stumbled on it. proto repl will load your lein deps if you run toggle. you can just refer them as usual. this was not working as I had a compiler error in my core.clj file

@sneakypeet cool. How did you figure out there was an error?

it spat out the error when I restarted the repl

Cool 👍 Hope you didn't get sidetracked too much 🙂

I feel like a snail at this point 😄

The joy of learning new things haah

indeed. but enjoying it at least

That's the most important thing. What's your background and what makes you play with Clojure if I may ask?

typical OO journey. .net/c# and js web dev. stumbled upon f# and elm and something just clicked. did some functional js for a while but decided I wanted functional features as first class citizens (immutable data etc). someone pointed to clojure and I finally have time for a deep dive

there is more to the journey but that is best left to discuss over beers 😄

for some reason I’m getting an unable to resolve symbol defn error with proto-repl

nvm I just connected it to a local repl and it worked

is there anyway to clear inline results?

@dorianc.b: you can clear individual results with esc. There's a keybinding to clear all of them in an open file. See the very last command on the Proto REPL readme.

I just published a new version of the proto-repl-sayid Atom plugin and the Clojure library.

Unfortunately due to some shenanigans on my part I had to recreate the Atom package if you were trying it out. You may need to uninstall and reinstall it to get the latest version.

https://atom.io/packages/proto-repl-sayid

https://clojars.org/proto-repl-sayid

Actually, Atom devs just said you probably won't have to reinstall it so all should be good.

@jasongilman I noticed that for ProtoREPL on Windows I was getting warnings that compliment couldn’t be found but I wasn’t getting those on macOS. I added compliment as an explicit dependency to my project (when starting a REPL) and now I see much better autocompletion with inline documentation of functions etc. Any idea why a) I didn’t get the warnings on macOS and b) why I needed to add compliment manually as a dependency?

@seancorfield: I would make sure that compliment was getting included transitively through the Proto REPL lib dependency.

Duh! That would actually be my problem… I followed the “opinionated” setup guide and it doesn’t mention adding proto-repl as a Clojure dependency — I see someone noted that in a comment on the Gist!

I hadn’t noticed that dependency on the setup before. I wonder what else I’m missing out on? 🙂

Oh if you're missing that the save and display values won't work.

There's a demo project with a list of demos. If you can do all of them or everything in my presentation you're not missing out on anything.

Thanks. I’ll take a look at that and see what new features I will have just enabled 😆 And I was already enjoying it before I added the library!
