joy server not working on Mac

[Kowloon walled city (coin)]

after finding joy, I tried based on sample script here but failed with:

joy server error: DATABASE_URL environment variable isn't set in connect [/usr/local/Cellar/janet/1.8.1/lib/janet/db/sqlite/db.janet] on line 10, column 5 in start [src/server.janet] (tailcall) on line 25, column 5 in _thunk [main.janet] on line -1, column -1 in cli-main [boot.janet] on line 2446, column 35

I persist and whilst the db creation all ok, it is obviously not working and the final to do joy server every command. This is the final output:

joy server error: could not find module joy/db: /usr/local/Cellar/janet/1.8.1/lib/janet/joy/db.jimage /usr/local/Cellar/janet/1.8.1/lib/janet/joy/db.janet /usr/local/Cellar/janet/1.8.1/lib/janet/joy/db/init.janet /usr/local/Cellar/janet/1.8.1/lib/janet/joy/db.so joy/db.jimage joy/db.janet joy/db/init.janet joy/db.so in require [boot.janet] on line 2211, column 20 in import* [boot.janet] on line 2229, column 15 in _thunk [src/routes/account.janet] (tailcall) on line 2, column 1 error: DATABASE_URL environment variable isn't set in connect [/usr/local/Cellar/janet/1.8.1/lib/janet/db/sqlite/db.janet] on line 10, column 5 in start [src/server.janet] (tailcall) on line 25, column 5 in _thunk [main.janet] on line -1, column -1 in cli-main [boot.janet] on line 2446, column 35

Any further help?

Hm what happens when you run it with the DATABASE_URL environment variable set?

DATABASE_URL=path-to-your-db.sqlite3 joy server

Try it and get pass the stage where joy sever can be started

joy server Server listening on [localhost:8000] ... [2020-05-03 05:24:59] at=info msg="Started GET /" method=GET url=/ [2020-05-03 05:24:59] at=info msg="Finished GET /" method=GET url=/ status=200 duration=0.0026ms content-type=text/html [2020-05-03 05:24:59] at=info msg="Started GET /favicon.ico" method=GET url=/favicon.ico

But the database seems not sure. I did something but obvious have problem.

' joy create table account 'email text not null uniqu 'password text not null''

create those directory and files i.e.

'ls db/migrations/
20200503052212-create-table-account.sql'

But

'joy migrate
error: file is not a database
in sqlite3/eval
in execute [/usr/local/Cellar/janet/1.8.1/lib/janet/db/sqlite/db.janet] on line 90, column 5
in [/usr/local/Cellar/janet/1.8.1/lib/janet/db/migrator.janet] on line 105, column 5
in migrate [/usr/local/Cellar/janet/1.8.1/lib/janet/db/migrator.janet] (tailcall) on line 104, column 3'

I drop the db and create the db again; then I remember there is this message that appear again:

joy create db error: bad slot #0, expected core/file, got nil in file/close in create-file [/usr/local/Cellar/janet/1.8.1/lib/janet/joy/helper.janet] (tailcall) on line 143, column 3

Not sure how to move on.

Just in case, may I ask seem you seems to know janet well -- is all these can be done in an embedded environment like picolisp (which I like but only run under certain env.)

the file structure seems already btw:

ls Procfile main.janet src db project.janet test development.sqlite3 public watch

Just somehow somewhere the 'joy create db' is not working for me.

So it was bad timing on my part, I switched the database code to the db library (for postgres support) but I didn't update the files generated from joy new so there's an old version of joy 0.6.0 in the generated project.janet

I pushed some changes and tagged them version 0.7.3 the changes are on line 25 in server.janet:

(db/connect (env :database-url))

so you don't have to pass DATABASE_URL

You could also install the latest version of joy by changing the project.janet to look like this:

(declare-project
  :name "%project-name%"
  :description ""
  :dependencies ["https://github.com/joy-framework/joy"]
  :author ""
  :license ""
  :url ""
  :repo "")

(declare-executable
  :name "%project-name%"
  :entry "main.janet")

(phony "server" []
  (do
    (os/shell "pkill -xf 'janet main.janet'")
    (os/shell "janet main.janet")))

(phony "watch" []
  (do
    (os/shell "pkill -xf 'janet main.janet'")
    (os/shell "janet main.janet &")
    (os/shell "fswatch -o src | xargs -n1 -I{} ./watch")))

The main change:

-   :dependencies [{:repo "https://github.com/joy-framework/joy" :tag "0.6.0"}
-                  "https://github.com/joy-framework/tester"]
+ :dependencies ["https://github.com/joy-framework/joy"]

and then run jpm deps to install the latest joy

I recorded a quick asciinema (like in the other issue) just to show how it's working now with the latest version, there may be a long pause towards the end, sorry about that

Thanks. Would try it tomorrow. Quite late here.

[Kowloon walled city (coin)]

All can be done now. Great.

I will study a bit the db part. Seems job create db and doing something there but not sure what. got schema, got ... just no actual db records. Strange. But I guess I just have to close the case and study more about this.
