Re: Execute a subprocess that takes input e.g. emacs

2013-02-04 Thread Gabriel Horner
Thanks for the feedback Andy. I had a console-only emacs installed but I've
reinstalled and confirmed one with X works. I was expecting a console
editor to work as well as it does in ruby e.g. system(emacs -nw) but I'm
guessing there's a limitation for java. Calling X emacs works for my use
case but I'd be interested to hear if anyone solves opening a console
editor.

 I was able to open an X windows emacs session using:

 (sh/sh emacs)

 on my system.  The REPL did not give another prompt until I quit that
 emacs invocation.  I was able to get another REPL prompt immediately using
 this:

 (future (sh/sh emacs))

 When I tried running the terminal version of emacs without using the X
 window system, it gave a valid complaint like this:

 user= (sh/sh emacs -nw)
 {:exit 1, :out , :err emacs: standard input is not a tty\n}

 You can also specify the file name and line number where the cursor should
 initially be placed like so:

 (sh/sh emacs +57 foo.txt)

 In case it matters what versions of things I am using, I was able to get
 similar results above on both of the following systems:

 Mac OS X 10.6.8 + Oracle/Apple JDK 1.6.0_37 + Leiningen 2.0.0 + Clojure
 1.5.0-RC2
 Ubuntu 11.10 32-bit desktop + Oracle JDK 1.6.0_38 + Leiningen 2.0.0 +
 Clojure 1.5.0-RC4

 I also tried it with Clojure 1.4.0 with the same good results.

  If you're curious why I want to do it, it's to open a lein dependency in
 emacs from the commandline, https://github.com/cldwalker/lein-open .

Execute a subprocess that takes input e.g. emacs

Hi,

Is there a straightforward way to invoke an editor within clojure e.g. 
(clojure.java.shell/sh emacs some-file)?
I've taken a look at popular shell libraries like conch and stevedore but
