jmerelo nine: I can try and add that to the Travis configuration, I guess... 08:04
nine So you can't reproduce the issue locally? 08:05
jmerelo nine: it's a flapper. Happens from time to time locally or in Travis You look at history travis-ci.org/Raku/doc/builds, most fails are not real fails, but that kind of error 08:06
nine: this one, for instance travis-ci.org/Raku/doc/builds/648769290
nine: or this one travis-ci.org/Raku/doc/builds/649442291 08:07
nine: happens once every 10 times or so. Used to be more, but as I say, it totally flaps.
nine In that case I'd run it like `while perl6 -Ilib t/02-tests-valid.t ; do true ; done` to reproduce locally. That's still much nicer than waiting for Travis to fail 08:08
jmerelo nine: it does not depend on Rakudo version, either. It's been happening for as long as I remember. And it does not always fail in the same place, but it does tend to happen there. But OK, I'll do that

lizmat aaah.. ok
sena_kun one is a moarvm panic on a roast test, which is a serious issue. second is a plain regression, then go build issues and a flapping method call, which seems like a regression to me. not sure if 100% blocker, but giving jnthn++ does some work recently with rakudo, I think it possibly can be investigated. 13:17
jnthn I'm not sure either of the MoarVM ones are regressions? 13:18
sena_kun github.com/MoarVM/MoarVM/issues/1237 looks like a regression
jnthn It ain't; I remember spending hours hunting it 6 months ago... :/ 13:19
I managed to repro it one time in 1000 runs today :/
And I'd forgotten to stick a breakpoint in MVM_panic, so it was all for nothing :|
sena_kun because 1)we passed part of spectest before, it's a release requirement?; 2) lizmat has said yesterday it was reliable?
colabti.org/irclogger/irclogger_lo...02-13#l135 <- 13:20
lizmat it's reliable on MacOS
jnthn Every run?
sena_kun maybe "reliable" is "reliably works most of the time" rather than "reliably dies"
jnthn lizmat: Reliably fails, or reliably passes? 13:21
lizmat reliably crashes after 30 to 50 times
sena_kun "it should be noted that this is not a 'new' bug" <- hmm, not a regression then, indeed.
jnthn Well yes, given I already said I tried to find it 6 months ago, not new at all ;) 13:22
The MacOS build one - hmm...I wonder if that's related to us upgrading to a new dyncall? Or does it pre-date that?
My assumption with MacOS + build is that Apple broke something yet again :/
lizmat but it is broken on older MacOS's , no ? 13:24

japhb nine: I let your idea percolate around in my brain overnight, and this morning it gelled into a new idea, but it hinges on this question: Is there anything that prevents an auth from itself being a long name for another module? That feels like less of a conceptual abuse than trying to wedge something into ver ... and it frees up ver itself for allowing the calling program and plugins to agree on an API 16:06
revision.
The idea is that, since right now two modules of the same short name but different auth are effectively two different people's (or org's) different view of the module, this would instead be different *module's* view of the plugin slot. 16:08
And since long names are guaranteed unique, we can use those modules 16:09
*module's long names as auths without fear of collision
16:10 hungrydonkey left
japhb So I'm thinking Foo::Bar::SomeSlot::Plugin:auth('Foo::Bar::Slartibartfast:auth<someauth>:ver<1.2.3>'):ver<5.6> means that Foo::Bar::Slartibartfast:auth<someauth>:ver<1.2.3> plugs into Foo::Bar at the plugin slot Foo::Bar::SomeSlot, expecting that slot's plugin API to be version 5.6 (or compatible) 16:14
Lots of plugin modules could independently install at Foo::Bar::SomeSlot::Plugin, each declaring their expected plugin API, and this would let the current CURI implementation find them all compatible plugins for a particular slot quickly, 16:15
*and* doesn't violate the immutability rules that make vendor packages painless.
(No need to modify some special plugin registry at install time, in other words.) 16:16
nine Don't you hate it when an obviously horrible idea fixes all the problems so nicely? 16:34
And to be clear: I do think that it's horrible and would have unwanted side effects. It's just hard to find them...
16:36 domidumont left 16:42 patrickb left
japhb nine: Well, right now it's the horrible idea above, or the horrible idea of yet again rejiggering repo installs to make them compatible with a use case the current CURI design wasn't really built for. 16:46
japhb briefly considers calling a module that implements this horrible idea "Plugin::Hack" ... or maybe "Plugin::Hack::Horrible::NoReally" 16:49
I mean, if you use a plugin loader with a name like that, you've pretty much signed up for the unwanted side effects right at the get-go. ;-)
nine Well one side effect would be that any system grouping modules by auth (e.g. a list on modules.raku.org) will show some confusing output for those plugins. 16:50
That's why I'd still prefer abusing :api, as I really can't think of anything where that really hurts. Well except that you'd miss out on :api semantics for specific plugins of course :) Which...a plugin system needs to handle btw. the same plugin may be installed in multiple versions 16:52
japhb Yeah, that last bit is one reason why I was thinking of using real long names in the auth hack -- because they would carry a valid real version for the plugin. 16:56
nine: Thinking about that modules.raku.org issue, I feel like there's a way around that, but I don't have a general solution for that now. ( Some partial solution ideas, but none are terribly satisfying.) 16:59
nine: It's key that not only can plugins be installed with multiple versions, but plugin *slots* also have multiple versions, and plugins need to be able to declare what API version they are safe to load into. 17:00
There's always the possibility of using one of these hacks (auth or ver, doesn't matter) just to find a resources tree, that then can contain metadata for loading. But pretty soon you're getting into "let's build a database on top of a virtual file system on top of a database implemented as a filesystem" territory. 17:02
All of this would be a lot easier if we didn't have the vendor packages problem to work around. :-( 17:03

Make sub index about 20x as fast (again)

Commit 90fc61bbb6 slowed down sub index roughly 20x, so it seemed appropriat to fix this. So instead of just capturing all named parameters, and slipping them through, create candidates for the expected named parameters, and pass those through. Also create a candidate without any named parameters. After this, index("foo","o) is roughly 2x as slow as "foo".index("o").

Restore exact behaviour of List.index/indices/contains

With c9b0218544 a warning is issued with regards to using a List as a string, when that is most likely not what one wants. However, that commit also changed the string on which the method operates for a list like <a b c> from "a b c" to "abc". This commit restores the "a b c" behaviour.
