Reveal via nREPL

This release adds a new option to reveal files in your favourite editor/IDE when clicking links present in DevTools UI. This feature was requested in issue #56.

More paranoid checks

The nREPL world has sharp edges. Dirac is now more suspicious about nREPL server it is talking to. It tries to check that tools.nrepl library version matches and that expected nREPL middleware is in place. People with misconfigured nREPL servers should get at least some early warnings before they run into rather cryptic failures.

Also entering multiple forms into Dirac REPL prompt was broken. For example entering 1 (+ 2 3) should now yield two results: 1 and 5 (in this order).

1.1.2

Source-maps quirks

Local names on Sources panel can get pretty much confused under some circumstances as reported in issue #53. Turns out this is caused by source mapping when DevTools tries to present original source names (from ClojureScript) but internally works with generated Javascript identifiers. Mapping between those two worlds can break for example because of duplicit names. This release attempts to fix it.

1.1.1

A bug-fix release

In 1.1.0 release I brought unwanted dependency on cljs-oops into dirac.runtime. This caused some issues to folks using Clojure 1.8, because cljs-oops uses clojure.spec which is available since Clojure 1.9.

This release also contains smaller fixes related to source maps associated with REPL evaluations.

1.1.0

Experimental Node.js suppport

As requested in #31, I sat down and implemented support for node. Read more in the docs.

Also I implemented some usability improvements. The Dirac Extension badge icon starts as gray and switches to color after Dirac gets fully initialised (stealing protocol API definitions from internal DevTools takes a while and the icon is unresponsive before we enter event processing). Also newly the badge icon signals with a question mark that it is attempting a new connection.

Beautification of function names on Call Stack sidebar pane depends on source maps. And source maps are loaded and parsed asynchronously. This could cause that initial render of Call Stack items could have mangled names due to missing source map data in cold caches. I have implemented a workaround which updates Call Stack pane after cache population.

Also newly you can use dirac :help instead of (dirac! :help), parentheses and exclamation mark are now optional.

Happy birthday, Dirac! 🎂

It has been one year since release of the initial proof-of-concept version of Dirac DevTools. My original goal was to add a usable ClojureScript REPL directly into Chrome. As usual, I terribly under-estimated the ultimate complexity of such task. But finally one year later I believe this was accomplished. Dirac offers some additional bells & whistles but that seems to be minor in grand scheme of things.

For me personally Dirac now has all features I required from DevTools for comfortable ClojureScript development work in the browser. And I hope in the long run it will help ClojureScript to be more developer-friendly compared to other compile-to-js languages. btw. Which one can say it has a custom-tailored fork of DevTools or a DevTools extension?

I'm going to move onto other projects, but I'm committed to maintain the Dirac code base and update it with upstream DevTools changes over the next year.
