FWIW there’s a write-string function https://docs.racket-lang.org/reference/Byte_and_String_Output.html#(def._((quote._~23~25kernel)._write-string))

anyone right-clicked on an imported variable in DrRacket to rename it and seen anything like this? (i.e. the renaming prompt seems to think the import text in the module is the identifier)
@pnwamk I’ve never seen that particular issue but after seeing your snip I noticed path-up which I had no idea existed and would be very useful for my current project, so thanks for the serendipitous moment
Ooh… do we believe that DrRacket is currently working on Mojave? Methinks I may have upgraded this machine too soon….
Interesting… reproducible crash when clicking “show details…” in the language menu in Mojave. No point in filing a bug report if DrRacket isn’t yet known to be supported on Mojave, though.
@jbclements It seems worth filing a bug report even if Racket is known to not be supported on Mojave, just to track the issue, but I don’t know if an issue already exists
@jbclements @mflatt has made some Mojave-related commits recently
@jbclements I’ve been running racket / DrRacket on Mojave for a few weeks without problems. I just tried “Language / Show Details” and my DrRacket behaved normally. I’m using version 7.0.0.6—2018–07–08(4d158a8cb8/a) [3m] which I think I got from a nightly, just before Racket School.
Mojave didn’t break my DrRacket, but it did break my Emacs (macports emacs-app). I think the MacPorts people have fixed that though. https://trac.macports.org/ticket/57217
Okay, that’s really good to hear. I mean, it’s not good to hear that others can’t reproduce my issue, but it is good to hear that others are running on Mojave without problems.
Releases and nightly builds should run fine on Mojave. When you build your own from the Git repo, though, you probably don’t force 10.6 compatibility by pointing configure at a 10.6 SDK. Building that way (or any SDK before 10.14) makes Racket work ok – although I don’t know how the dynamically loaded OS framework knows that its running in an application built for earlier than 10.14.
@pocmatos, Thanks very much — that worked!
I’d like to open a file in an editor (emacs) in a racket script that I am developing. Is there a way to do that?
I’m having trouble getting shell-execute to work for me
@jxxcarlson Are you using racket-mode?
