Booting server for project consisting of freesound samples

[kenokenobingo]

I’ve go a saved project with freesound samples in it. When I restart the nREPL server, Overtone’s access to freesound has to be authorized again, but I couldn’t find a way to paste the auth code to stdin. Is there a way to boot the server properly?

How are you booting the server, trough emacs, vim, terminal...? That answers the question of where you find the stdin. But Overtone cahces the samples so you should only need to autherize for samples that which you don't have yet locally. There's no way to avoid this, this is the security mechanism of freesound. In case of performance, then make sure you've loaded all the samples you need from freesound before starting!

Thanks for your reply, @hlolli! I’ve tried two ways:

• Booting the server through the terminal via lein repl. I couldn’t figure out how to paste the code while starting the server.
• Booting the server through Emacs via cider-jack-in. The stdin buffer didn’t appear.

No you don't do it at the time when the server is starting, when you evaluate a sample with freesound function, a browser opens up (and goes to freesound) and then you are prompted. In emacs you see the stdin in the minibuffer, in terminal, the repl input becomes stdin.

The problem is: When the samples are not cached, the website pops up while booting the server. Therefore there’s no input for the auth code. After a while the server terminates because I couldn’t be set up properly.

Ok, that should be fixed, but the problem that you're having seems to be that you are loading a namespace which calls freesound initially. Maybe first require overtone.live or overtone.core then load the namespace, then you're sure that overtone is loaded before it calls freesound. By default, overtone should not call any freesound function.

@kenokenobingo did you solve this issue?

@mxjxn, I used @hlolli’s solution, but didn’t close the issue because I thought there will be a fix.
