00:34:46giacotestament by default compile binaries next to the .nim file. Is this the usual way to go for nim projects? I find having directories with mixed source and executables a bad approach so I have a custom "build" folder for my builds, put testament seems not having such option. Do you know how to fix?
00:35:40giacoI mean, if theres a proper way or I should move the files manually after testament

00:40:58FromDiscord<ElegantBeef> Assuming you dont have a config file or anything in your project you can do `git clean` to remove all untracked files, so it's really a none problem since you run tests then remove them
00:43:07giacoyeah I have many other means to solve the issue outside nim, but is there something a config.nim[s] file can do for me in this context?

00:52:43leorize[m]you can try --outdir
00:52:54leorize[m]if that doesn't work with testament, you can try disruptek's balls
01:04:56FromDiscord<Quibono> I want to simulate a worker thread incrementing a number, returning it to the main thread, and then repeating as many times as it can in a minute. It's been a long while since I've written nim code, how would I go about that?

07:51:00FromDiscord<Varriount> In reply to @Araq "<@!169336940846514176> and why are": For me, the problems duplicates have caused are mostly related to using generic tools to search for content, but there's also the fact that (on Windows and Mac at least) antivirus software and search indexing processes will scan them.
07:52:33FromDiscord<Varriount> (which tends to drain resources, both energy and CPU-wise)
08:30:50FromDiscord<madman> is there a nicer way to do this => https://play.nim-lang.org/#ix=3lKd
08:31:38PMunchDefine nicer
08:31:55FromDiscord<madman> better
08:32:06FromDiscord<Rika> define better
08:32:36PMunchYou could do it like this: https://play.nim-lang.org/#ix=3lKe
08:32:42FromDiscord<Rika> the intention is lost when you minimised the program, can you send more detail
08:33:38FromDiscord<madman> cool
08:33:45FromDiscord<madman> wait ill send an example

08:42:39FromDiscord<Rika> oops, elif
08:42:40FromDiscord<Rika> not else
08:43:44FromDiscord<madman> yeah same thing but i just want it for the member
08:44:38FromDiscord<madman> so i guess its done
08:44:50FromDiscord<Rika> Then what you are doing is fine, just remove the codegen when condition
08:45:00FromDiscord<Rika> Or keep it I don’t know if it works
08:45:22FromDiscord<madman> In reply to @Rika "Then what you are": exactly
08:45:44FromDiscord<madman> it would be nice to have vscode mute and unmute the stuff like in C #defines
08:46:45FromDiscord<madman> In reply to @x19 "this is when i": idk what `dummy` means when i dont provide the struct members on the nim side while linking against dll
08:52:59FromDiscord<madman> is it possible to import a C struct from a dll using some pragma
08:53:14FromDiscord<madman> or do i need to specify all the members on the nim side
08:54:02FromDiscord<mlokis> sent a code paste, see https://play.nim-lang.org/#ix=3lKq
08:57:08FromDiscord<Rika> the static[bool] part is causing the issue
08:57:10FromDiscord<Rika> i dont know why
08:57:19FromDiscord<ElegantBeef> inferred + explict generic = bug right now
08:57:41FromDiscord<Rika> there's an inferred generic there?
08:57:44FromDiscord<Rika> i dont see any
08:57:45FromDiscord<ElegantBeef> `static bool`
08:57:56FromDiscord<mlokis> even if i explicitly write false it does not work
08:58:07FromDiscord<Rika> are those converted to generics or what?
08:58:35FromDiscord<ElegantBeef> Yea they're treated as generics afaik
08:58:37FromDiscord<ElegantBeef> https://play.nim-lang.org/#ix=3lKs
08:59:01FromDiscord<mlokis> hmm how do i fix this, should i just generate two iterators then
08:59:12FromDiscord<ElegantBeef> Not ideal but my suggestion is `iter[T; Y: static bool]`
08:59:26FromDiscord<mlokis> oh that could work
08:59:55FromDiscord<mlokis> but then i cannot have default can i?
09:00:08FromDiscord<ElegantBeef> Nope your choice is either that or duplicate
09:00:30FromDiscord<ElegantBeef> https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/issues/17212 issue if you care to upvote it as a concern
09:00:31FromDiscord<mlokis> its not really duplicate anyway
09:00:57FromDiscord<mlokis> i just have to call it asyncIter or smth
09:03:20FromDiscord<madman> btw why doesnt this work https://play.nim-lang.org/#ix=3lKA
09:04:53FromDiscord<ElegantBeef> if you're using a bool like that imo you might aswell just use `when defined(flag)` unless you're using it a lot
09:06:51FromDiscord<madman> yeah im just curious
09:07:03FromDiscord<madman> im gonna stick to `when defined(flag)`
09:07:35FromDiscord<ElegantBeef> do you need to do `-d:slow=true` or `-d:slow=false` for booldefines?
09:10:02FromDiscord<madman> yeah
09:10:17FromDiscord<madman> the `booldefine` pragma has no effect
09:10:39FromDiscord<madman> you still need to use `-d:slow` on the command even if u set it to true in the code
09:10:41FromDiscord<ElegantBeef> well you were doing `when defined(boolName)` not `when boolName`
09:11:31FromDiscord<madman> ohh damn
09:11:45FromDiscord<madman> thanks beef
09:13:07FromDiscord<madman> no need for pragma then

12:06:02Clonkk[m]Why does ``nimble build`` ignore all the flags in my ``config.nims`` ?

12:08:28giacotestament help says "usage: testament [options] command [arguments]" where arguments is "arguments are passed to the compiler". I want testament to compile and run tests but deploy produced binaries in ./build dir, I'm trying with "testament pattern 'tests/*.nim' --outdir:build" but testament says "no tests were found for pattern: outdir", am I doing something wrong?
12:09:13FromDiscord<Tavon> The name of your test files starts with a `t`?
12:09:31giacothey start with "test*"
12:10:12Clonkk[m](unless that changed recently)
12:10:16Clonkk[m]<giaco "testament help says "usage: test"> You can't use "outdir" with testament. Testament look for binary at the root of the folder
12:10:45Clonkk[m]See https://forum.nim-lang.org/t/7544
12:11:21Clonkk[m]Oops wrong forum thread
12:11:21Clonkk[m]https://forum.nim-lang.org/t/7577
12:11:56giacosad!
12:12:05giacobut I can live with it
12:12:30giacospeaking of config.nims + nimble build, I'm quite realising that not
12:12:34giacos/not/now
12:13:44Clonkk[m]The worst part is that nimble shows you a message ``Hint: used config file '/home/rcaillaud/Workspace/Prototype/config.nims' [Conf]`` but ignore its content entirely
12:14:27Clonkk[m]It's very misleading
12:14:38giacono, I was wrong, it is working to me
12:15:04giacoI'm ruinning nimble --verbose build and I get that Hint too, and yeah it does work
12:15:30Clonkk[m]Are you sure ?
12:16:18giacoyeah I'm using chronicles as logging framework and I can change my preferences via defines, and it is working
12:16:33Clonkk[m]I have an option to use c++ backend with an outdir folder and Nimble output C binary in the current folder
12:17:14giacoplease mind that output dir in nimble is already handled by the top option "binDir"
12:18:15giaconot sure which preference wins, the one in config.nims or the one at the top of the nimble file
12:19:30Clonkk[m]That's true. But still, it shouldn't ignore silently some options (like my option to specify C++ backend) otherwise how can I trust that my compiler flags and define where passed properly
12:20:05giacoyeah I'm also quite confused where the boundary line is between nimble and config.nims
12:20:17giacoI'm thinking about merging the two
12:20:34Clonkk[m]I have some -d:symbol=123 that are ignored too
12:21:23giacoClonkk[m]: are you using "-" or switch?
12:21:37giacoI'm using switch for everything at the top of my nims file
12:22:23giacotry switch("define", "symbol=123")
12:23:26Clonkk[m]Ah yes okay
12:23:38Clonkk[m]and the backend is handled with a variable as well and ignore switch("backend", "cpp")
12:25:29Clonkk[m]Is there a way to call a proc in ``config.nims`` from nimble ?
12:50:45giacodon't know

13:50:46PMunchCorrect

20:07:30FromDiscord<Avatarfighter> In reply to @Recruit_main707 "hol up, they added": lmao right? I need a confirmation on this ahaha
20:07:42FromDiscord<ElegantBeef> The way collect requires an expression
20:07:55FromDiscord<zidsal> @Avatarfighter see above I just tried it
20:08:10FromDiscord<ElegantBeef> zidsal i'm uncertain the actual desire you have so you might just want to use a block expression or explain what you're doing in code so i can understand 😛

20:09:28FromDiscord<ElegantBeef> I mean VSCode's debugging is fine follow the instructions on saem's extension and you're golden
