how to generate the cmi files in merlin-js/src/worker/static/stdlib at 85495ae4dd11a5e4f40d6eddd5b63a6f5ab2d820 · tmattio/merlin-js · GitHub ?

I’ve tried running running ocaml gen_static.ml, but ig only generates a

static_files.ml:
let stdlib_cmis = []

How do I actually generate the cmi’s in that directory ?

I manually copied them out of my opam switch which sounds less than ideal but it worked. Perhaps questions like these would be better opened as issues on try-eio, happy to answer them over there because they’re quite specific and probably not that interesting/useful to the rest of the community :))

There’s some stuff in my ocaml.org playground PR to automate grabbing the right cmis: Slim playground by jonludlam · Pull Request #908 · ocaml/ocaml.org · GitHub

Good call. Moving things over.

Adding some additional text, since forum software blocks me from posting, saying post body is too similar to previous post.
