Installing Helix into my project

[amazing-Mantse]

I am installing helix into an app that is already using hx

I have included the library as so:
lilactown/helix {:mvn/version "0.0.6"}

Requiring [helix.core :refer [defnc]] throws the error bellow:

[Figwheel:WARNING] Could not Analyze: /_SLASH_impl_SLASH_class/js.cljs is not a relative path resources/public/js/helix/core.cljs [Figwheel:SEVERE] java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: /_SLASH_impl_SLASH_class/js.cljs is not a relative path

This basically applies to requiring anything.

I haven't tested helix in a figwheel project. Can you tell me what version of figwheel you're using? A minimal repro would be very appreciated.

[amazing-Mantse]

I am using figwheel version "0.2.3" and I run it with the following options
--main figwheel.main --compile-opts {:source-map,true} . --build common --repl

@Lokeh what do you mean a minimal repro? Do you mean in a new clojure project?

[amazing-Mantse]

@Lokeh here is a minimal hello_world project with figwheel and helix. Still getting the same error.

Thanks, the minimal example did help.

I created a new branch here: https://github.com/Lokeh/helix/tree/fix-figwheel

There were some additional problems in your minimal repro about "react" that I'm not sure right now how to fix.

Also, unfortunately my current fix in that branch is running into this bug in shadow-cljs thheller/shadow-cljs#638 which prevents me from releasing it at this time.

[amazing-Mantse]

Thank you very much.I will checkout the branch.

Hi, I have updated the minimal app (https://github.com/amazing-Mantse/figwheel-helix) and fixed the react issues. From helix.core I get the error bellow:

[lilactown]

@amazing-Mantse I've merged the fix-figwheel branch with master, which removes that require.

[amazing-Mantse]

Okay, but now I am back to the original error:

I added the dependancy as so :
Lokeh/helix {:git/url "https://github.com/Lokeh/helix" :sha "cfb99f8936aa8d7f71f9759a81a93df9cb4a1772"}} and now I have this error:

[lilactown]

I've updated the fix-figwheel branch with a few more adjustments.

Here's an example repo using it: https://github.com/Lokeh/fighweel-helix

It's based off of your repo @amazing-Mantse, there was some misconfiguration that I fixed along with updating to the latest git SHA.

Thank you, Figwheel works with this.

The next challenge is advanced compilation which fails with:

ERROR: JSC_LANGUAGE_FEATURE. This language feature is only supported for ECMASCRIPT6 mode or better

I've pushed an example of that to https://github.com/amazing-Mantse/figwheel-helix

And it can be replicated with:

clojure --main cljs.main --compile-opts dev.cljs.edn --compile-opts '{:optimizations :advanced}' --compile

[lilactown]

helix's implementation uses several ES6 features - specifically, the class keyword. You'll want to configure your release step to set :language-in :es6 at the least.

@Lokeh Thank you very mush for making helix work with Figwheel. We have successfully managed to incorporate it, into our project. And it's looking great. We still have a few hx components, but we are transitioning.

[lilactown]

hooray!

Hello!! Thx for the great library @Lokeh

Tried w/:

Lokeh/helix {:git/url "https://github.com/Lokeh/helix"
                       :sha "56ff32df5ca270aac7b63d6ad55adb9c2318f61d"}

but it is throwing Error building classpath. Destination path "helix" already exists and is not an empty directory.

Any ideias/help?

[lilactown]

@deoqc this looks like a problem with your local deps. Perhaps try clearing your deps cache? If you keep running into this, please open another issue.

For figwheel usage, I will continue to rebase #26 onto master for the time being until I can merge them. Figwheel users should check that PR to get the latest version compatible.
