Plain Dart Quickstart compiles the wrong program when project root directory isn't exactly helloworld

[PEZ]

Hello, thanks for your work with ClojureDart!

This is a follow-up from Clojurians Slack.

When following the instructions for the Plain Dart Quickstart, almost to the letter, I ended up with the wrong program being compiled. It prints Hello World!, and not the expected hello, world. The only part I didn't follow was that I did not name the project directory helloworld.

When I follow the instructions, including naming the project directory helloworld, it prints the expected message.

I published a repository containing both variants here: https://github.com/PEZ/clojuredart-quickstart-root-problem

I removed the .gitignore files, in case some otherwise ignored file contains some clue.

I can't reproduce what you are describing.
When you look at both generated dart under lib/cljd-out/quickstart/helloworld.dart the code looks great.
Maybe I am missing something

Indeed, that looks fine. But when I run the program I get these results:

~/Projects/tests/clojuredart/repro/helloworld % dart run
Building package executable... (1.0s)
Built helloworld:helloworld.
hello, world

~/Projects/tests/clojuredart/repro/hello-clojurdart % dart run
Building package executable...
Built hello_clojurdart:hello_clojurdart.
Hello world!

You don't? Is there some info from my system I should provide that could point at what is making the difference?

and if you do
dart run -t /lib/cljd-out/quickstart/helloword.dart ?

[PEZ]

That gives me an error that -t is not an known option. But if I skip the -t:

~/Projects/tests/clojuredart/repro/hello-clojurdart % dart run lib/cljd-out/quickstart/helloworld.dart
lib/cljd-out/quickstart/helloworld.dart: Warning: Interpreting this as package URI, 'package:hello_clojurdart/cljd-out/quickstart/helloworld.dart'.
hello, world

I don't know what I am doing here, totally new to Dart. 😄

The contents of the bin directory is quite different between the two:

1. https://github.com/PEZ/clojuredart-quickstart-root-problem/tree/master/hello-clojurdart/bin2.
   • There's a bin/hello_clojurdart.dart here with the code that matches what is executed with dart run
   • And also a bin/hello-clojurdart.dart which just imports the stuff in lib
2. https://github.com/PEZ/clojuredart-quickstart-root-problem/tree/master/helloworld/bin
   • Here only a bin/helloworld.dart with the imports.

ah ah it's some dash-munging on the Dart side!
