Is the packages server login down?

@pavpanchekha: Kicked

@florence can you share this photo on the Racket twitter account? (credit: Ian Barland)

so, we’ve just upgraded to 6.8. we’re using racket/enter to create a listener environment. when we (enter! (lib “some-path”)) the listener works, but with this error:

; error during prompt calculation: path->string: contract violation expected: path? given: "c:\\the\\full\\path\\to\\some-path"

@jeapostrophe Still not logging in.

As in, the “log in” button just leads to an infinite loading spinner. The server does not respond.

is there an issue submitted for Dr Racket not properly highlighting the #; comment syntax?

@danl-ndi that behavior is intentional

@jeapostrophe Here’s the error screen.

@samth: really? hmmm racket-mode in emacs renders it. what’s the rationale?

That it’s an s-expression that you can edit like one and navigate like one, rather than an arbitrary string like other comments

in racket-mode its still navigable like usual, it’s just rendered in the comment font style

maybe dr racket can change the font style a little… it’s just confusing to see it like normal code

@jeapostrophe Thanks, works now
