| 00:00 | justin_smith | m0smith: is that error in the target or the debugger? |
| 00:06 | technomancy | m0smith: stick a (def myobj local-obj) in the body of your defn (which you should never do in production) and then do stuff like (-> myobj :key1 :key2 :key3) after running it in the repl |
| 00:06 | technomancy | (assuming you can't use tools.trace) |
| 00:07 | justin_smith | another option is (def debug (atom [])) and in the function (swap! debut conj datastructure) |
| 00:07 | justin_smith | then you can even examine the data from multiple calls |
| 00:07 | justin_smith | *swap! debug |
| 00:08 | adhollander | m0smith: are there any Java libs for working with GEDCOM? (have said a couple times in the past few months would get back to working on genealogy) |
| 00:08 | scottj | adhollander: there are 3 0.1 clojure gedcom libraries/wrappers :) |
| 00:09 | technomancy | if you actually have to poke around on something inside the scope of the function (because it's stateful or whatever) inserting a breakpoint-repl is a lot easier than setting up a full stepping debugger |
| 00:09 | m0smith | justin: when I do "lein run" |
| 00:10 | technomancy | also why is there no debugger called steppin-razor? |
| 00:10 | m0smith | adhollander: I have a gedcom parser written in clojure I am using |
| 00:11 | m0smith | technomancy: breakpoint-repl? |
| 00:11 | swarthy | I remember reading about a macro you can prefix a symbol with, and the prefix is expanded to the current NS. Did I make that up? |
| 00:11 | technomancy | m0smith: https://github.com/technomancy/limit-break or something like that |
| 00:12 | technomancy | ^ that should work, but there are more polished versions |
| 00:13 | ysawej | hi all |
| 00:13 | ysawej | why does deftype say its still in Alpha |
| 00:13 | ysawej | https://github.com/clojure/clojure/blob/clojure-1.5.1/src/clj/clojure/core_deftype.clj |
| 00:13 | ysawej | is it really in alpha? or is the documentation not updated? |
| 00:13 | technomancy | http://p.hagelb.org/mystery.gif |
| 00:14 | scottj | ysawej: because they've never removed alpha notes since they started adding alpha notes |
| 00:15 | m0smith | technomancy: Does tools.trace work with cider? |
| 00:16 | technomancy | m0smith: sure |
| 00:16 | technomancy | I'm working on some mad haxx to make it more convenient, but it works fine as is |
| 00:18 | m0smith | I even had it in my profiles.clj but forgot about it |
| 00:18 | m0smith | tools.trace I mean |
| 00:20 | technomancy | it's good stuff |
| 00:20 | technomancy | could be kinda overwhelming in spewage though |
| 00:21 | coventry | m0smith: https://github.com/timvisher/what-does-tools-trace-do/blob/master/src/what_does_tools_trace_do/core.clj |
| 00:21 | technomancy | worth getting acquainted with though |
| 00:21 | ysawej | scottj, i see.. it would be nice to remove them, as it scares Clojure starters to think the language is not as matured |
| 00:21 | coventry | m0smith: Also, <https://github.com/coventry/troncle>, but it doesn't work with cider, at this point. |
| 00:22 | technomancy | m0smith: in particular trace-vars is what I recommend |
| 00:23 | technomancy | coventry: ooh, nice thorough readme |
| 00:23 | technomancy | need to take a closer look at that |
| 00:23 | technomancy | coventry: looks vaguely related to guzheng; have you seen that? |
| 00:24 | technomancy | hehe; macroshka. love it =) |
| 00:24 | coventry | technomancy: Thanks. No, haven't heard of guzheng. |
| 00:25 | technomancy | might be overkill for this |
| 00:26 | danielglauser | Troncle looks nice. Highlight and watch local values |
| 00:27 | coventry | On a brief glance, it looks like guzheng's code walking doesn't account for the possibility of local bindings shadowing macro names (the main reason for macroshka.) |
| 00:28 | m0smith | thanks all, night |
| 00:29 | coventry | riddley.walk takes a similar approach to guzheng, but deals with this possibility. |
| 00:31 | coventry | Kevin Neaton suggested I could use macroshka for a coverage tool at the conj. I think it would be pretty easy to drop it in to something like guzheng or cloverage. |
| 00:32 | coventry | *poof* |
