This is my ocamlinit:
(* Added by OPAM. *)
let () =
try Topdirs.dir_directory (Sys.getenv "OCAML_TOPLEVEL_PATH")
with Not_found -> ()
;;
(* ## added by OPAM user-setup for ocamltop / base ## 3ec62baf6f9c219ae06d9814069da862 ## you can edit, but keep this line *)
#use "topfind";;
(* ## end of OPAM user-setup addition for ocamltop / base ## keep this line *)
#thread;;
(* #ppx "ppx-jane -as-ppx";; *)
#require "ppx_jane";;
#require "core.top";;
#require "async";;
#require "core_extended";;
open Core.Std;;
With this exactly, I get this in utop
utop # type test = char list [@@deriving show];;
Error: Cannot locate deriver show
If I use the line beginning with #ppx
instead of #require "ppx_jane"
, I get this error
utop # type test = char list [@@deriving show];;
Error: ppx_type_conv: 'show' is not a supported type type-conv generator
How should I set up ocamlinit to use [@@deriving show]
?
I managed to have it working using
#require "ppx_deriving.show";;
(with or without#require "ppx_jane";;
).
