<straight-shoota>
hm, yeah. But how big is the runtime library? Just this single function?
<straight-shoota>
If you have more features, it'll make a bigger difference
<straight-shoota>
I suppose you could at least re-use that part of the feature library that don't depend on the request context
<FromGitter>
<Blacksmoke16> adding more things to the container should in theory slow it down marginally, just by how long it takes to instantiate an object
<FromGitter>
<Blacksmoke16> there's deff some things i could do if i went further in the weeds
<straight-shoota>
yeah crinja should probably also have some potential for performance optimizations
<straight-shoota>
I didn't do much in the direction
<straight-shoota>
at least not explicitly
<FromGitter>
<Blacksmoke16> i think this was a pretty cool experiment tho. deff is a cool way to handle html view rendering just by returning some format agnostic data from your controller with a custom annotation
<FromGitter>
<Blacksmoke16> ill have to look into what https://twig.symfony.com/ does, as it's setup pretty similarly. Maybe they do something special to cache the env or something
<straight-shoota>
looks like the symfony integration works similar to your code

<Blacksmoke16> which is back to reach request has its own container instance

hey. i just tried to get crystal 1.0.0 setup for the first time (amd64, linux), and i'm running into an issue with the bin/crystal wrapper script
<FromGitter>
<Blacksmoke16> their container stuff is wayy fancier than what i have tho as they can build stuff out at runtime and stuff
<zaltekk>
it seems to just continuously spawn `crystal env CRYSTAL_LIBRARY_PATH` processes
<straight-shoota>
zaltekk, how did you install crystal?
<zaltekk>
i put a symlink in ~/bin to the wrapper script, have ~/bin on my PATH, and run it that way
<zaltekk>
straight-shoota: i downloaded the 1.0.0 tarball binary and source, then used the binary to build the source
<straight-shoota>
that's what I assumed from the behaviour :D
<zaltekk>
was something wrong with that?
<straight-shoota>
it seems the bin/crystal from the tar.gz doesn't work well when it's placed in path. I know this is a problem with the bin/crystal from the crystal repo, but that should be a different one
<straight-shoota>
could you try what happens if you remove the symlink and call the executable by its path?
HumanG33k has joined #crystal-lang
<zaltekk>
it seems to work that way, but i do get "bin/crystal: 153: crystal: not found" before it runs
<zaltekk>
which is the line in bin/crystal that contains `crystal env CRYSTAL_LIBRARY_PATH`
HumanG33k has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
<zaltekk>
it also looks like the compiler spec failed with a null pointer deref
HumanG33k has joined #crystal-lang
<straight-shoota>
ah, I missed that you built the compiler yourself
<straight-shoota>
so you placed bin/crystal from the source repo in PATH
<zaltekk>
yes, sorry, i used the binary tar.gz to build the source tar.gz
<zaltekk>
correct. i added bin/crystal from the binary tar.gz into the path to build the source, then remove it from the path. next i added the built compiler's bin/crystal to ~/bin via a symlink, and ~/bin is on my path
<straight-shoota>
so the bin/crystal from the source repo calls `crystal` from path to get some config defaults. Hence it can't be in PATH itself, or needs a different name.
<straight-shoota>
You should use the wrapper script from the binary tar.gz, maybe copy it into ~/bin and change the path to point to your local built compiler binary
<zaltekk>
i see now that the binary tar.gz had a different bin/crystal. let me try that
<straight-shoota>
it's a bit confusing to have to separate but very similar scripts
<straight-shoota>
usually only package maintainers have to care about this, though
<zaltekk>
that isn't happy either. tries to access ../lib/crystal/bin/crystal, but there isn't a lib/ dir
<FromGitter>
<Blacksmoke16> prob easier to install via a package manager at this point :p
<zaltekk>
sure, i can just use the binary from the tar.gz, but now i want to figure out why this isn't working
<straight-shoota>
yeah, it expects a different dir structure
<hsh_>
hey everyone. basic question: how do I access a file relatively to a spec file? say I have a spec file in `$PROJ/spec/my_spec.cr` and from that spec I want to open `$PROJ/spec/assets/test_file.txt`? I can't do a `File.read("./assets/test_file.txt")` IIUC
<_ht>
hsh_: maybe it depends on where you run your test from? E.g, if you run crystal spec from $PROJ, you could use
<_ht>
"/spec/assets/test_file.txt"?
<FromGitter>
<oprypin:matrix.org> hsh_, use `__DIR__`

<adrianpkr_gitlab> Hello. On the front page it reads `# Notice that both Int32 and String respond_to 'to_s'`. Shouldn't that be `respond to`? Or is that a method name?
<FromGitter>
<Blacksmoke16> there is a method called `responds_to`, maybe it was renamed at some ponit
<FromGitter>
<cdonadeo> @adrianpkr_gitlab Most (maybe all?) have a `responds_to?` method:
<FromGitter>
<adrianpkr_gitlab> I see, thanks. Without having used Crystal, the statement just seemed a bit obscure. One has to assume the front page is meant for readers not familiar with Crystal.
<FromGitter>
<Blacksmoke16> regardless it was probably just a typo in the first place
<FromGitter>
<cdonadeo> Understandable. It’s a Ruby-ism, which Crystal takes a lot of inspiration from.
<FromGitter>
<adrianpkr_gitlab> Ah, ok. That makes more sense.
_ht has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
<FromGitter>
<cdonadeo> I might phase that differently. What they’re trying to say is something like “Both an `Int32` and a `String` have a `to_s` method, so this works."
<FromGitter>
<Blacksmoke16> right
sorcus has quit [Ping timeout: 250 seconds]
<FromGitter>
<adrianpkr_gitlab> Yes, I guess for Ruby user it makes immediate sense. For me, a verb like "implement" would make more sense.
<FromGitter>
<adrianpkr_gitlab> Anyway, it's clear from the code what's being done there. Just thought I'd mention it in case it was a typo :)
<FromGitter>
<cdonadeo> Tough call. It reads better as `respond_to` than it does `responds_to?`. But really, I think I’d just not reference the method at all. Or if the point really needs to be made, show usage of the method as part of the example. Wonder if they’d take a PR for website stuff?
