unknown identifier in strict mode: vim

[monkoose]

Trying to convert from aniseed to hotpot. And got a lot of such errors, which are happens inside (macro ...) blocks.

I definitely doing something wrong, but with aniseed it have worked. An now with hotpot i can't use any globals inside macros. My macro definitition just split throw config, not in some specific file. Currently my conf/maps.fnl is cause of the errors. Have spend a lot of time to fix this issue without any success.

You can find my config for hotpot branch (it's currently a mess) here https://github.com/monkoose/neovim-fennel/tree/hotpot Starting point is init.lua and then conf/init_fnl.fnl Not an lisp/fennel expert so my macros are ugly too (wanted to make them do too much, will simplify them after fix to this issue).

Only have found allowedGlobals = false compiler option as a workaround for strict mode (but it doesn't help for me). Any help? Should i split macros into different file? Where to put it and how to name it?

Additional info OS: ArchLinux neovim version: 0.7.2 from oficial archlinux 'community' repository

init.lua

require("hotpot").setup()
require("fnl_init")

(pack.startup load-plugins)

(strict)

fnl/macros.fnl

(fn strict [arg]
  (vim.pretty_print "test"))

This minimal neovim config gives such error to me

@monkoose try to put your macro inside maps.fnl into a macros.fnl file, then in maps.fnl using (import-macros {: set-map! : map!} :conf.macros) for example

Off topic but your map! macro makes me miss my old doom-emacs :)

[monkoose]

@babygau didn't help. Have updated the repository you can check how i did it.

[bangedorrunt]

@monkoose what is error? I see you didn't export your macro properly, macros.fnl should have

{: set-map!
 : map!}

I have imported map!. set-map! is helper macro for map! should i import it too?

It's the same error

Yes i saw it. I took inspiration from his config when i switched to hotpot.

I don't get it either. I don't see anything specific that he done (he just import macros from this plugin). And this plugin is just collection of macros not even with some specifc filename as macros.fnl. :(

[bangedorrunt]

First, could you tried to use _G.vim... to see if the error is fixed? Secondly, tried remove lua folder, and let hotpot rebuild it again. Sometimes the error you see is just from old cache file.

Hotpot will not compile files end with *macros.fnl hence we can split macros into multiple files.

You can also checkout my macros for reference, a shameless copy from his config at https://github.com/babygau/nix/tree/tdt/dotfiles/nvim

[monkoose]

_G.vim is a help (but then i need to rename every global like so in macros`. I prefer to find what is causing such issue. Edit: It gives another error

For some reason config dir doesn't have any lua folder in my config. Cleared .cache/nvim/hotpot but issue is still present.

[bangedorrunt]

I agree, it should not a problem. Could you remove this

compiler = {
      modules = {
        allowedGlobals = false,
      },

I don't see that option in Hotpot API

For some reason config dir doesn't have any lua folder in my config.

Possibly, you put lua in gitignore :D

[monkoose]

Possibly, you put lua in gitignore :D

I'm definitely stupid, but not so much :) Have checked hidden files too. Check post above i updated it.

Could you remove this

I could, but it just countless update to init.lua with some changes (and previously it wasn't here without any success). Will try it anyway.

[bangedorrunt]

Sorry that I can't help much. Actually I had that issue long time ago, especially when trying fennel-cljlib. But it should not be your issue now. You could pull datwaft repo and test if the prob still persists (well, with your system :|).

Ok will do it now. Anyway have no idea why lua/ dir is missing. But it is still like half working my config i still get completions from cmp and mappings from it config works too. Weird.

[monkoose]

I got some errors from his config here and there (especially some CursorHold events), but it is working and at least it is not a fennel compiler issues. So there are no unknown identifier in strict mode problems :(

[bangedorrunt]

So at least we know it's not your system issue, sth strange in your config btw ^ ^ Do you see Lua folder? I'm curious :D

[monkoose]

Yes have found it, lua files are actually are in .cache/nvim/hotpot directory. Which i previously deleted without any fix to the issue.

Seems like i should try some minimal init.vim with simple macro that uses vim to try to remove man in the middle which is my config. But will do it later, my head is exploding right now after 5+ hours of trying to find a solution.

That's great idea, hopefully you can tell me where the prob is . I'm curious as hell :D

[monkoose]

Have updated issue message. With that minimal neovim config i still have error.

Hate this.

[rktjmp]

Guessing:

You need to set :compilerEnv _G to stop global checking in the macro compiler.

https://fennel-lang.org/api

compilerEnv: an environment table in which to run compiler-scoped code for macro definitions and eval-compiler calls. Internal Fennel functions such as list, sym, etc. will be exposed in addition to this table. Defaults to a table containing limited known-safe globals. Pass _G to disable sandboxing.

  (setup {:provide_require_fennel true
          :compiler {:modules {:correlate true}
                     :macros {:env :_COMPILER
                              :compilerEnv _G
                              :allowedGlobals false}}})

https://github.com/rktjmp/hotpot.nvim/issues/22#issuecomment-916148788

[monkoose]

Let me try with minimal config, but i have tried this setting before with no result. I literally tried like almost every line from your cookbook.

Updated init.lua to

require("hotpot").setup({
  provide_require_fennel = true,
  compiler = {
    macros = {
      env = "_Compiler",
      compilerEnv = _G,
      allowedGlobals = false,
    }
  }
})
require("fnl_init")

And the error. It it is the same error if i manually prepend vim. in macro with _G.

@monkoose This is not a macro, but a normal function.

(fn strict [arg]
  (vim.pretty_print "test"))

{: strict}

Fennel doesn't know vim.pretty_print at compile time. Pls test with

(fn strict [arg]
  `(vim.pretty_print "test"))

{: strict}

[rktjmp]

https://github.com/rktjmp/hotpot-issue-82

Note that "test" is only output at compile time, so when you first run nvim in the container, or if you edit the file and relaunch.

[rktjmp]

  env = "_Compiler",

Must be _COMPILER

[monkoose]

  env = "_Compiler",

Must be _COMPILER

Ok this works. Thank you. I do remember i tried uppercase with mine config.

[rktjmp]

Unsure what your intention is, that function is different to what you have in your first post:

;; inject the code (vim.pretty_print "test") into the call site
(fn strict [arg]
  `(vim.pretty_print "test"))n

;; run the call (vim.pretty_print "test) _at compile time_
(fn strict2 [arg]
  (vim.pretty_print "test"))

[monkoose]

Fennel doesn't know vim.pretty_print at compile time.

Seems with the setting from @rktjmp it still works fine. But if i add backquote and remove config it works too.

[monkoose]

Unsure what your intention is, that function is different to what you have in your first post:

Yes. Thank you. I do get it now.

[monkoose]

@rktjmp @babygau Thank you both for the help. Test with minimal config was the thing. Should have done it much earlier.

[rktjmp]

See the link I posted to the Fennel API doc, by default only a few functions are available at compile time (so when building macros). By setting compilerEnv to _G, all functions (well anything in the global scope) are available to be called at compile time. This is a sort-of safety feature of Fennel upstream.

You should be able to look at Aniseeds compiler settings to see what they use, Hotpot should be 100% compatible as long as they have not patched fennel somehow.

Glad you sorted it out, thanks @babygau for lending a hand.

[monkoose]

Now my config works even with my weird macros. :smile:

[monkoose]

@rktjmp one more question while you are here. I want to build some addition dir with AOT. Have this code (but it again error with undefined in strict ....)

  require("hotpot.api.make").build(
    config_dir,
    {
      verbosity = 0,
      compiler = {
        macros = {
          env = "_COMPILER",
          compilerEnv = _G,
          allowedGlobals = false,
        },
      },
    },
    config_dir .. "/colors/half.fnl",
    function(path)
      return path
    end
  )

Do i miss something?

[rktjmp]

Hmm, it looks OK. The make stuff is a bit weird with how we have to juggle API options, possibly it's not getting passed down. Can you post it to another issue and I will try to look at it tonight.

let me try few more things before that. Maybe I will find the solution.

[monkoose]

Fixed it. My colors/colorscheme.fnl once again had (macro ... form. After moving it into macros.fnl now it works. Seems like even with such additional options macros must be in a different file. And seems like aniseed has no problems with that.
