bootifying the tree

[tolitius]

bench is not exactly a "regular" build task, but nothing boot can't handle :)

Building a Jar

[tolitius:..playground/hitchhiker-tree]$ boot pom jar

Benching

$ boot bench --args "perf_diff_experiment -b 10 -- -b 42"

What's with "--args"?

notice --args. there are multiple ways to pass runtime args, but one thing to note boot stays true to tasks whether you run them from command line, REPL, within build.boot, etc.. and the format is "task options". Those options a types, so we can pass args as a Clojure map for example, but I did not want to change the String expectation that is already in the bench/-main

String args vs. Clojure map

In reality, bench could be just a function that takes a Clojure map as args, and in case we do need -main, we can have it parse the String args. This way boot and any other Clojure function can call it directly with just a map.

[tolitius:..playground/hitchhiker-tree]$ boot bench --args "perf_diff_experiment -b 10 -- -b 42"

TravisCI

It is running as:

$ export TEST_CMD='lein bench output --data-structure fractal -- --data-structure b-tree -- --data-structure sorted-set'

Boot can too:

[tolitius:..playground/hitchhiker-tree]$ boot bench -a "output --data-structure fractal -- --data-structure b-tree -- --data-structure sorted-set"

Somehow, these aren't currently running the user-space code. We need to fix that to merge.

[dgrnbrg]

Do you think you're going to have a chance to solve the issue where this isn't running the tests? I'd love to switch to boot.

[tolitius]

hey, most likely won't have time. project can continue using lein and could switch to boot at any time later on, if that'd be still needed.

Closing for now.
