tbrowder leont: i started using zef instead of prove6 'cause prove6 doesn't work on windows and to ease complexity i just always use zef now 00:18
leont Oh, I didn't know that but I bet it's because of the sigpipe stuff. I should perhaps rewrite that. 00:19

disbot11 <simon_sibl> is it possible to 'open' a scalar variable as a file handler like in Perl ? like I have a string in a scalar variable and I wanna pass it to shell using :in($user-input) 09:07
<simon_sibl> but just passing it as a string doesnt really work

Voldenet perhaps something like this `open my $fh, "|-", "cat"; print $fh "foo\nbar\n"; close $fh;` 13:24
equivalent code in raku is 13:30
m: my $p = run <cat>, :in; $p.in.print("foo\nbar\n"); $p.in.close;
camelia foo

tbrowder need some help on using proc to run a script in a test file. works fine locally but not on github. the test locally writes an output file on stdout. what's the way to check its existence on stdout remotely? i think you have to maybe define a tmp dir or something like that 17:43
17:44 dakkar left
tbrowder $*OUT = /tmp/dir/output.txt 17:48
? 17:59
afk& 18:01
[Coke] check the existence of a file? ?"/tmp/a".IO.e 18:25
(the ? just indicating it's a boolean)
what you have there is changing where the output goes.

tbrowder ok, i think i'm getting close. if i have some object that has a .save method, how can i feed it a file handle opened for writing or appending? 23:36
the .save method works fine on the local file system, but i need it to work in a remote directory such as github workflows 23:46
