Little progress

[Jacek Podkanski]

Hi,

I was experimenting a bit in my spare time and now I a question.

I didn't work out how to use weblocks:reset-sessions. No matter what I
have tried in REPL it didn't work.

I came up with following solution. In the console I do:
$ sbcl --load ./restart_webtrial.lisp

restart_webtrial.lisp script contains following:
(ql:quickload 'webtrial)
; (weblocks:start-weblocks)
(webtrial:start-webtrial)

To refresh the page content I have to kill sbcl with Ctrl + D and then
run the restart script.

Is there a better way of doing it? If I'm supposed to use reset-sessions
can I have more detailed instructions?

[Jacek Podkanski]

Please ignore it. I have found it.

[Jacek Podkanski]

it's embarrassing, but I have no idea what I did right. Command weblocks:reset-sessions doesn't work now.

What exactly are you trying to achieve?

When I create new application I get a blank page with Happy hacking written on it. If I edit the source to show Hello World I need to restart the server to see the changes on the web page.

Ah, I see. RESET-SESSIONS should work properly. If it doesn't then you can just delete the session cookie on the client side. An alternative would be defining your own widget that renders the string on a per-request basis. Ex.:

(defwidget show-my-string nil nil)

(defmethod render-widget-body ((widget show-my-string) &rest args)

  (with-html

     "Hello world")) ; changing this to another string and updating your Lisp image should be reflected instantly on a page reload. 

Thanks for your interest in Weblocks!
