tbrowder hi, i swear i use to be able, in a program, to use this line: "use lib "./lib" in a subdir of a module repo with an existing "../lib", but no longer. think 12:36
i think i can set the enn var path still, gotta go for now...
[Coke] You shouldn't use lib like that. 12:48
lizmat
.oO( old habits die hard )
 12:49
[Coke] Often see this trying to run tests in an uninstalled module - when running the test, make sure you're using the equivalent of -I. or RAKULIB=. so it can find the local copy of your uninstalled modules. 12:50
I used to all the time, and ugexe has slowly been able to convert me. :)
I think the only place I have that does something similar is in raku/doc because we aren't ever going to install it. 12:51
so don't copy that as an example. (I should add a warning about not copying it as an example to the code)
... I could probably just remove it at this point. 12:56
(ah, I think I left it this way so I didn't have to list provides: in the meta6, but the failure on install makes it clear we're never installing anything) 13:00
tbrowder thank you…old habits certainly do die hard! 13:12
[Coke] Just pushed some changes to raku/doc to avoid that bad example. apologies. 13:13
Geth ecosystem/main: c00034c2e8 | (Elizabeth Mattijsen)++ | META.list
Remove PrettyDump

It lives in the zef ecosystem now		 13:32
antononcube @Coke Because of popular demand I plan to apply Raku-RAG to Raku-doc. 13:52
Well, I think only 2-3 people asked about it, but I am rounding up...
ab5tract +1 :) 13:53
antononcube At first, I plan to have a simple text chunks splitting using locally run LLaMA models. (ChatGPT might be too expensive and slow to get the vector embeddings.) But at some point I request help for "slicing and dicing" Raku doc chapters into semantically meaningful chunks. 13:56
tbrowder okdoky: i see yr cng. fer us dummies you might remind us one way to do it is at shell prompt in working dir run “export RAKULIB=path/to/lib” 13:58
antononcube A strongly suspect there modules with POD6 / RakuDoc grammars. (I am only aware of "raku-pod-extraction", raku.land/zef:finanalyst/raku-pod-extraction .)
tbrowder then run script… 13:59
ab5tract tbrowder: IIUC the real answer is to properly setup `META6.json` 14:00
and use `-I.`
antononcube @Coke What exactly is "rakudoc" doing? Does make a "tree" or Document Object Model (DOM) of Raku documentation (placed in specified directories)? raku.land/zef:coke/rakudoc 14:02
ab5tract uff, that's a harder one to answer 14:09
the short answer: yes
antononcube 🙂 Good enough!
ab5tract it uses the compunit precompilation classes to store the info
but it's... a bit of an ancient mess at this point 14:10
I expect you will find much better examples of generating pod output in the doc repo itself
antononcube Ok, I just (re-)cloned it. 14:11
lucs Why does the first one here work, but not the second?: 14:13
m: my @baz = << /tmp/foo /tmp/jub >>; for @baz>>.uc -> $f { say $f } 14:14
camelia /TMP/FOO
/TMP/JUB
lucs m: my @baz = << /tmp/foo /tmp/jub >>; for @baz>>.IO.absolute -> $f { say $f }
camelia No such method 'absolute' for invocant of type 'Array'
in block <unit> at <tmp> line 1
antononcube It seems this code has to be used: @baz>>.IO>>.absolute . 14:15
lucs Hmm... Indeed, that does work, but I guess I don't understand the >> operator enough to know what's going on. 14:17
antononcube: Did you happen to know that would work?
antononcube: *How did you happen to know that would work? 14:18
14:18 japhb left
[Coke] rakudoc was intended to be perldoc for raku. I wouldn't treat it as an example of anything at this point. 14:19
I am planning on revisiting once the new rakudoc stuff lands.
antononcube @Coke good to know -- thanks! 14:20
[Coke] (you can't really install doc-only stuff at this point)
ab5tract lucs: the output of a hyper call is listy 14:21
m: dd [<< /tmp >>]>>.IO; dd [<< /tmp >>]>>.IO.WHAT 14:22
camelia [IO::Path.new("/tmp", :SPEC(IO::Spec::Unix), :CWD("/home/camelia"))]
Array
ab5tract since you want to call .absolute on each of the things output by the or
*by the previous hyper, you need to once again hyper 14:23
lucs ab5tract: Aha, thanks.
ab5tract You can think of it similarly as to how you have to chain .map calls if you plan to operate on each of the elements again
lucs: my pleasure 14:24
antononcube @lucs Well, I think of ">>." as .duckmap (or .nodemap , or .deepmap) hence, ">>." has to be inserted between the methods (".tc", ".absolute", etc.) 14:25
14:26 japhb joined
ab5tract lucs: you can also compose the chain ahead of time 14:26
m: my &chain = *.IO.absolute; dd [<< /tmp >>]>>.&chain
camelia ["/tmp"]
lucs antononcube: .(duck|node|deep)map : I think I've seen those words before :-)
antononcube Again, these kind of questions should be handled by a Raku-specialized LLM. (RakuGPT or whatever.) 14:27
I was thinking to use the name "RakuGrock", but "Grock" is used by LLM / AI of X/Twitter. 14:28
lucs ab5tract: I'm taking notes, thanks. 14:29
[Coke] Yes, let's not copy X. 14:30
14:31 Sgeo joined
ab5tract antononcube: I don't understand your point about *map 14:33
m: dd [ ["/tmp", ["/tmp"] ] ].deepmap(*.IO.absolute)
camelia ["/tmp", ["/tmp"]]
ab5tract m: dd [ ["/tmp", ["/tmp"] ] ].deepmap(*.IO.d)
camelia [Bool::True, [Bool::True]]
ab5tract you should have the same semantics at map in all the variants, outside of the obvious distinctions 14:34
*as map
antononcube I was saying there is an analogy with ">>." and the different maps. (Not a precise statement.) 14:35
ab5tract I got confused since I said the same thing you did earlier, but you referred specifically to similarities with the map variants instead 14:42
antononcube Agh, you typed in and posted your answer(s) faster than me... 14:43
ab5tract communication is hard :)
does anyone else here remember BeOS fondly? 16:16
context: I'm trying to figure out how to set the mime type of a file, which is something that was super fluid in BeOS 16:17
use case: we save RakuAST code in `rakumod` files, but it's actually NQP (or maybe NQP++, depending on how you look at it) 16:20
[Coke] ab5tract: what OS are you trying to do this on? 16:22
ab5tract macOS, but it's only really relevant if it's something that gets carried along everywhere 16:23
ie, lives on through `git`, `tar`, etc 16:24
[Coke] prerry sure mac has a file attribute you could use, but not sure it would even last through git back to mac. 16:41
"It's a bit of a category mistake to talk about ‘the MIME type of a file’ – ‘files’ don't have MIME types; only octet streams have them" 16:42
[Coke] cannot find the command line magic he was thinking of. 16:45

new project - ok 16:58
open (small project) -ok
tbrowder [Coke]: in my subdir code i was able to use a pretty generic BEGIN block to die cleanly and remind me to set the required env var 17:00
[Coke] nice 17:02

all is looking good - fantastic!! 17:05

ab5stract: I am having difficulty with some older CommaIDE projects - the new syntax highlighting is not appearing ... is there a recipe to delete older config files maybe? 17:30
and I have uninstalled / reinstalled the latest commaplugin and restarted the IntelliJ Ultimate each time 17:39
timo i seem to recall a submenu to clear different kinds of caches, maybe under File, or maybe under Help 17:52
librasteve timo: thanks ... I hadn't thought of that ... sadly does not help 17:58
File >> Invalidate Caches btw 17:59
ab5tract librasteve: are you installing from the release zip? or did you compile from HEAD? 18:09
librasteve clean git clone, build locally
ab5tract ok
scullucs @librasteve github.com/rakudo/rakudo/issues/5646 18:10
ab5tract did you use `File > Open` or did you open from the IDEA welcome page?
the recipe is `rm -rf .idea; rm *.iml`
librasteve welcome page iirc 18:11
ab5tract but using `File > Open` *should* work, as should `New From existing Sources...`
librasteve no - thats wrong
ab5tract opening from welcome page doesn't trigger the open project processor :(
librasteve lemme check 18:12
ab5tract if it detects a Comma project (it does this by scanning `$project.iml` for `PERL6_MODULE_TYPE`), it will `rm -rf .idea; rm $project.iml` for you 18:13
it's quite annoying that it needs to use `Open` to trigger this, though
librasteve thanks - I'll have a double check and revert if there's a real issue 18:15
19:09 Aedil left
tbrowder .tell ab5tract i am using a module sub dir as a test bed and it will never be officially part of the module. maybe not a good practice, but many of my published modules have such 19:27
tellable6__ tbrowder, I'll pass your message to ab5tract
ab5tract but I would expect -I. to work in that situation 19:29
tbrowder ok, how do i test for the existence of a directory without 19:30
ab5tract or -I../../ or whatever
tbrowder yes, but i'm too lazy to do that
how do i test for the existence of a directory without it magically being created? i usually run something like: "if not $dir.IO.d { say "dir '$dir' not found" }; 19:39

[Coke] ... I'll just use two loops. :) 19:43
timo whatever looks most pleasant in the context of the rest of the code 19:44
tbrowder when i use that test in a BEGIN block, a non-existing directory gets created (with a .precomp subdir) 19:45
timo can you give us exactly what you're running? 19:46
tbrowder ab5tract: seriously, i do much programming via an app on my ipad, and do lots of finger fumbles so i like to minimize that for repetitive stuff 19:47
timo: i'm getting that inside the script i've made to tell raku where RAKULIB is. 19:48
ab5tract tbrowder: in that case I would add a shell alias `r` that does `raku -I.` :) 19:49
timo i would expect as soon as a rakudo is launched with a RAKULIB set to some folder that it may create that to put a .precomp in it
tbrowder sounds good to me. 19:50
timo: and makes sense
ab5tract: good idea, but i have too many other aliases to keep up with now!! and not enough brain cells! 19:53
19:53 xinming_ joined
tbrowder and it's a challenge 19:53
i.e., fun
as well as a learning experience, but that alias is a great idea!, thanks 19:55
ab5tract tbrowder: I hear that.. I'm looking at making a BNF for NQP and going cross-eyed. but it would be a good learning experience, for sure 20:18
timo that way certainly lies madness 20:38
ab5tract i was hoping NQP would be a bit more reasonable than Raku proper :) 20:41
timo what would you use a BNF of NQP for? 20:42
ab5tract to generate a parser for Raku integration 20:43
theoretically unlocking refactoring tools, jump to declaration, find usages, etc
as well as the obvious advantages of syntax highlighting
s/Raku integration/Comma integration/ 20:44
it's been a long week :)
timo ah, Comma
jnthn had developed some Special Sauce to make the raku grammar for Comma 20:45
ab5tract I think that more or less required writing the parser by hand 20:46
tbrowder hear, hear! 👏
timo you write it with raku grammar though 20:48
ab5tract and generate Java code? interesting... 20:50
timo well, not exactly java code though
not readable in any sense of the word i think?
tbrowder while on this topical area, my Christmas wish is that some grammar expert fix raku emacs so HERE block strings are handled correctly.
timo github.com/ab5tract/comma-plugin/b...arser.java look at this 20:52
ab5tract yeah, you're right 20:54
but something had to create all of this: github.com/ab5tract/comma-plugin/t.../comma/psi
timo ah, i suppose that's at least partially manual yeah 20:58
but even with a BNF parser for nqp you'd still need to build that
ab5tract afaict all the psi stuff can be generated from the BNF 20:59
plugins.jetbrains.com/docs/intelli...arser.html 21:00
timo ah, ok 21:01
but do you want to have a completely separate set of psi nodes for nqp and raku? surely you'll want to reuse at least a few
21:02 jmcgnh left
ab5tract I think it's probably wise to have separate stacks 21:02
but that's really a question of how much handwork is required
if I can get away with generation, separate is clean and simple. else wise, sharing starts becoming much more attractive 21:03
anyway, I've poked the arcane master privately about it, hopefully he can help me find the path of the least-painful-of-the-tortures :) 21:07
antononcube: I wonder if this might come in handy for your "RakuDroid" efforts - github.com/ab5tract/comma-plugin/b.../core.json 21:14
