Georges Boris (Sep 26 2022 at 21:26): Georges Boris (Sep 26 2022 at 21:26):hey folks - I've tried testing the cli platform once more and it successfully builds the binary but I have to force quit the process either way. any one else? this is the code:
app "hangman"
packages { pf: "../roc/examples/interactive/cli-platform/main.roc" }
imports [
pf.Program.{ Program, ExitCode },
pf.Stdout,
pf.Stdin,
pf.Task.{ Task },
]
provides [main] to pf
main : Program
main =
Program.noArgs mainTask
mainTask : Task ExitCode [] [Read [Stdin], Write [Stdout]]
mainTask =
line <- Stdin.line |> Task.await
Stdout.line "Got: \(line)"
|> Program.exit 0
so it waits on stdin forever and never prints "Got: "?
Georges Boris (Sep 26 2022 at 21:47):@Richard Feldman if I run the program it works normally - the problem happens when I compile the binary. It gets stuck on "Rebuilding platform..." forever. But if I kill the process it actually succeeded and the binary is already then. (I'm running the current main built from source on a non-M1 Mac)
Folkert de Vries (Sep 26 2022 at 21:49):if the platform is really there, you can pass the --prebuilt-platform=true flag
Folkert de Vries (Sep 26 2022 at 21:50):though maybe not on an M1 machine
Richard Feldman (Sep 26 2022 at 22:03):yeah that flag doesn't do anything on M1 yet
Richard Feldman (Sep 26 2022 at 22:04):@Georges Boris is there a branch pushed somewhere I could try? I have an M1
Georges Boris (Sep 26 2022 at 22:05):Sorry folks - my bad. I was taking roc as roc build and I got confused since it both built and ran the program. The "getting stuck" was just the program waiting for the line (as part of the program running). I just remembered about roc dev and roc build and things made sense again! Thank you.
Brendan Hansknecht (Sep 26 2022 at 22:48):yeah that flag doesn't do anything on M1 yet
It still works. It just assumes the platform was already compiled and skips rebuilding it.
