make test.byte fails with jsoo error

[bentxt]

hi,
I follow all the steps on README, but this strange error occurs even after I've reset the whole ~/.opam directory

Error:

/.opam/default/bin/js_of_ocaml: Error: missing dependency 'caml_new_string'

Specs:

$sw_vers
ProductName:		macOS
ProductVersion:		14.6.1
BuildVersion:		23G93

$ opam --version
2.1.6

Steps

rm -rf ~/.opam 
opam init
eval (opam env --switch=default) # on fish
opam install ocisgen-start
eliom-distillery -name myproject -template os.pgocaml
make db-init
make db-create
make db-schema
make test.byte
make test.byte
dune build  @myproject
File "dune", line 130, characters 9-18:
130 |   (names myproject)
               ^^^^^^^^^
/Users/ben/.opam/default/bin/js_of_ocaml: Error: missing dependency 'caml_new_string'

make: *** [byte] Error 1

The issue is that the newly released js_of_ocaml-compiler 5.9.0 dropped some js stubs. You can try to downgrade js_of_ocaml-compiler as a quick fix.
One need to adjust the opam constraint of the eliom package.
I'll try to make a minor release of jsoo to fix that.

fixed by ocaml/opam-repository#27009 and ocaml/opam-repository#27011

Thanks for fixing this. Unfortunately I'm not sure how get this update on my machine. Apparently the fix was made opam (maybe thats also a false assumption ...). Anyway care to explain how can I use this?

[bentxt]

Here's what I tried:

$> opam update
<><> Updating package repositories ><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>  🐫
[default] synchronised from https://opam.ocaml.org
<><> Synchronising development packages <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
Now run 'opam upgrade' to apply any package updates.
$> opam upgrade eliom
Already up-to-date.
Nothing to do.
# Run eval (opam env) to update the current shell environment

That seems to me like the upgrade/update had no effect

The fix has not been merged yet.

The simplest think to do is to install the previous version of js_of_ocaml for now:

opam install js_of_ocaml.5.8.2
