Problem with assignment
5 points by jsgrahamus 2374 days ago | 8 comments
Following along with tutorial with arc3.1:

  arc> (= s "foo")
  "foo"

  arc> s
  "foo"

  arc> (= (s 0) #\m)
  Error: "string-set!: contract violation\n   expected: (and/c string? (not/c immutable?))\n   given: \"foo\"\n  argument position: 1st\n  other arguments...:\n   0\n   #\\m"

Yes, this is a bug in Arc 3.1: http://arclanguage.org/item?id=17699 [1]

Use Anarki or Anarki's stable branch. The latter is like Arc 3.1 but with a couple of bugfixes.

More details: http://arclanguage.github.io

[1] via google: 'site:arclanguage.org string-set contract violation' :D

Windows 10: When I put the anarki folder in D:\, calling it worked fine.

However, when I put the folder in D:\Steve - D\Apps\, I got the following: D:\Steve - D\Apps\anarki>arc.cmd default-load-handler: cannot open module file module path: #<path:D:\Steve> path: D:\Steve system error: The system cannot find the file specified.; errid=2

I figure it has to do with spaces in the pathname, but unsure how to fix it.

It sounds like we need to put quotes around the '%arc_dir%boot.rkt' in arc.cmd: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1851012/set-a-path-varia...

Can you check if that fixes it?

That did it.

Thanks, akkartik!

Thanks! Wanna submit a Pull Request? ^_^

Not a big deal, I can do it too. But if it's easy you'd get to add your name to the repo :) Let me know.

Sure. Never done such before. Where are instructions for it?

Maybe this will get too involved. Do you have experience with git, say making commits and so on?

Wanna switch to email? If you click on my username, my profile has my email address.
