`js/*` completion does not work with react native js runtime

[pinkfrog9]

I can get completions with browser runtime, but no luck with react native runtime.

Wanna confirm if react native is supported here.

I am on Calva with shadowcljs.

[vemv]

Most likely not. Anyway what is a "react native runtime"? Where does it run (a phone, an emulator, sth else)? Where can I learn about its shadowcljs integration?

The key question is - does https://github.com/nrepl/piggieback provide an "env" akin to cljs.repl.node.NodeEnv whenever we're connected to ReactNative? What's its class name?

Any insight appreciated @bbatsov @thheller

I was testing on an iphone simulator. The runtime is named javascript core: https://reactnative.dev/docs/javascript-environment.

also cc @PEZ I opened an issue here.

I just tried with this project https://github.com/PEZ/rn-rf-shadow

There is no completion on the js namespace happening, regardless if I try with the web build or the iOS Simulator.

The repl message log has this:

Well that doesn't seem too bad, at least you're getting completions for cljs.core etc, right?

[PEZ]

No, it is not too bad. All ClojureScript stuff works. Just a bit less on the JS side, where at least I get some completions in regular node and browser projects.

[vemv]

Taking a look at suitable.compliment.sources.cljs, it seems like there isn't a special handling of the "js" namespace.

Perhaps in for most js runtimes, the cljs analyzer creates a js namespace that can be successfully used by Suitable, but not so much for the RN runtime?

i.e. we're using an abstraction which would break here.

Merely an hypothesis though.

[vemv]

I'd be happy to take over a PR that introduced the following:

• setup RN for local development and/or CircleCI
  • (most importantly, CircleCI)
• a green test for e.g. cljs.core/, using the RN runtime
• Preferrably, a red test for js/

Without those, it's very much unlikely that this issue will get spontaneously fixed - I don't do cljs dev nowadays, much less RN dev. Maintenance is scarce in this project.

However as said I'd quite happily pick up said PR and hunt for the actual issue.

[vemv]

As one last note, the https://github.com/clojure-emacs/clj-suitable/blob/8ec4258709d3a41f3cdd51c646674e0dba80219d/src/main/suitable/js_introspection.cljs cljs namespace is very much self-contained, see its comment form.

You should be able to run it for the RN runtime and check if e.g. (-> js/window property-names-and-types pprint) is returning anything at all.

[PEZ]

Thanks! Yeah, self-contained indeed. I played around with that yesterday for an unrelated thing.

[PEZ]

@vemv That returns very similar stuff to what I get in the browser.
