Are unit tests stored as files in REPLs?
Are unit tests stored as files anywhere in the file system of REPLs? It seems not. The built-in Replit unit test tool is really handy. But, if the te

No, unit tests are not stored as files as far as I know. I definitely agree with your idea, though I've never come across a user for it yet. You should definitely share this on the feedback page.2 years ago

I'm trying to connect to my Python REPLs via VNC as explained in the documentation. But when I open a connection with the Remmina client on Linux (Cro

Hi Paolo! Replit only supports connecting through noVNC because of a current limitation in our hosting stack: repls can only expose HTTP services. The reason why noVNC works is that they expect the connection to be made using RFB-over-WebSocket, and I am unaware of any other native VNC clients that allow that combination.2 years ago

@RayhanADev @InvisibleOne I'm making some progress. It turns out all the VNC clients I installed support specifying an alternate port with a syntax such as host.example.com:443 (Remmina) or host.example.com::443 (VNC Connect). When I try to open a connection to a REPL I no longer get an error. But the connection progress indicator goes on indefinitely and nothing happens. This happens also when running the VNC client from Android, which suggests this is not a Crostini issue.2 years ago

Hiya @PaoloAmoroso Replit has it's VNC setup perfectly for noVNC, but I don't believe it has proper support for other VNC platforms :/. I would assume it should work regardless but perhaps Crostini requires a different setup/connection?2 years ago

This Python REPL has a different layout from the ones I've seen so far. In addition to the usual code/output split view, that REPL has separate tabs

the explorer option lets your own repls adapt that layout. The new layout is view only however, and if you're the owner or a collaborator, you'll still have the "old" layout since the new one doesn't support file editing and the other features.2 years ago

@amasad Apologies to bother you, it would be cool to use BeeWare on Repl.it but I'm stuck with an obscure build error. I reached out to the BeeWare community for help but they have no insight either. Are there any limitations or issues with Repl.it? Any missing pieces?3 years ago

Pycairo loads fine and runs the demo correctly in a Python REPL. So, as advised in the getting started guide, I tried installing some other Pycairo dependencies (pkg-config and python3-dev) in the Polygott REPL. But I still get the build error.3 years ago

I've noticed Polygott is missing from the list of languages and frameworks of the new REPL creation dialog. Is Polygott still available or supported?

(Answers not in order of questions just read them it should answer the questions) 1) polygott is not a language it is replits base docker image (repo) 2) you can make one here (its just hidden) 3) if polygott was not supported (at least at this moment and implementation of some languages) a lot of languages would disappear (all languages in the languages folder are the ones that wouldn't work without polygott) I hope this helped3 years ago

Early this year we're focused on performance, reliability, and design polish. You might've noticed some improvements on that front. The most exciting thing to look forward to with regards to performance is our new snapshot-based filesystem. We're rolling it out as we speak. If you're an explorer you'll already get. Not only git, and other file operations will be more reliable, but we'll also be caching dependencies so they don't have to install every-time the repl wakes up. We're then going to3 years ago

That's awesome, @PaoloAmoroso! Unfortunately, building Kivy takes quite a while. Running your PyGame repl, it took about 15 minutes to build Kivy. When I ran mine, it crashed countless times. Re-running the code started the whole build from scratch, and it never finished before crashing. I agree that polygott can be a bit buggy, but here's the same Kivy Showcase, but running on a polygott container where the Kivy wheel is stored (as well as those of its dependencies).

To answer your question, I've noticed that leaving the console waiting on a single program for too long seems to crash the polygott container. This includes pip install, downloads, etc. This is probably to prevent the container from getting hung (thought I only assume that). To get around this issue, I use nohup commandhere in the makefile or nohup commandhere & in bash to pipe output to the nohup.out file instead of to the console.
