Is there a trick to launch DrRacket from a snapshot build? I get:

(The CS build)

Just launch directly from command line

Explicit path - don’t let PATH ffind it for you

That’s what I did - see the image. The path is correct.

Attempt number two gives this error:

Try sudo xattr -r -d com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Racket\ v7.7.......

Sorry 7.7.0.4

Worked like a charm.

Need to work out if that can be done by a quickscript

Sure, you can run system from a quickscript, but you need drracket to be open ;)

That’s a pretty fundamental flaw in my plan.

Is there a way to get a chez repl from a racket cs build?

See ffi/unsafe/vm.

thanks!

I’ve tried but I haven’t been able to come up with a minimal example after all. I haven’t been able to trigger the crash at all with the patch applied so I think it did probably fix the issue.

Thanks for trying. This is a really difficult part to test, and it’s not much of an exaggeration to say that problems in this part of the code are the reason Racket CS exists.

Quickscript-extra is a bunch of useful scripts for DrRacket scripts (menu) functionality; — Major update: - put-function is much faster, by triggering check-syntax as early as possible and avoiding its re-computation. - More warnings and error reporting (in particular regarding mutated variables). - Added more information at the top of the script file, in particular some caveats.

Please report bugs here: https://github.com/Metaxal/quickscript-extra/issues\|https://github.com/Metaxal/quickscript-extra/issues

If you have already installed this:

raco pkg update quickscript-extra

and if DrRacket is open, click on “Scripts | Manage scripts | Unload persistent scripts” to restart the script.

I hope you don’t charge by the word, you’re going to cost me a fortune in advertisement :grin:

haha

its great stuff. You should pick a script and send it to Paulo for racket news.

each racket news.
