Not really - but you can convert keywords to strings and vice versa if that helps.

there are spaces in some of the string keys and i don't want to change the keys

{:namespace "what is this"
 :name "eeey"}

if it doesn't cleanly fit into a keyword, symbol, or string - you can always use your own aggregate as a key

i wouldn't call this the most idiomatic thing in the world - but keywords and symbols are more for programatic identifiers and it sounds like your thing comes from outside data

and to be clear

{{:namespace "what is this"
  :name "eeey"}              123}

i'd say neither

futures are backed by a "cached thread pool", so if you kick off a bunch of get requests all at once you will get exactly that many threads

which may or may not be okay, but i would use https://github.com/clj-commons/claypoole with your own executor

OR, just run all the requests in order without any async and see if its fast enough

Might not be understanding the question, but this seems to be what the wrap-log-response-function is for 😊

@UDB2Q0W13, I meant if my api is returning {:a "message"} does we get the response in the logs?

Aha, I looked at the source code and it looks like only the response status gets logged 😢

Doesn’t the jar file itself need to contain a manifest? (See https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/technotes/guides/jar/jar.html).

Are you sure that it does?

Manifest in this case refers to a deps.edn or pom.xml file in the jar

Which is confusing because jars also can a manifest file which is something else entirely

What version of the cli tools are you using?

I don't entirely recall under what circumstances tools.deps requires a pom or dep.edn file, but I would not expect it to require one in that case

Is that 3rd party JAR file publicly accessible so we can double-check what is in it? And, yes, what does clojure -version say, and perhaps also share your whole deps.edn file if you can. More information will make it easier for us to help you @U0DTU8J83

I suspect the error means no pom.xml was found in the jar file (which is used for finding transitive deps)

possibly that is required when it should not be

I'm a little curious if that is the actual error as that implies you actually have "path-to-jar" in your deps (not sure if that was a concealing edit)

yeah, this doesn't seem to be an issue

% jar cf foo.jar README.md
% clj -Sdeps '{:deps {foo/bar {:local/root "foo.jar"}}}' -Stree
org.clojure/clojure 1.11.1
  . org.clojure/spec.alpha 0.3.218
  . org.clojure/core.specs.alpha 0.2.62
foo/bar /Users/alex.miller/code/foo.jar

seems fine to not have a pom.xml in the jar

An issue i’ve had in the past doing this is i would put the path to the folder containing the jar rather than the path to the jar itself. ie /Users/dan/stuff/ instead of /Users/dan/stuff/library.jar. If that’s perhaps your issue

the error at the top implies the actual deps.edn has "<path-to-jar>" in it (that's not in any error message)

I think its consistent with i’ve written here:

clj -Sdeps '{:deps {metabase/metabase {:local/root "/Users/dan/projects/work/jars"}}}'
Error building classpath. Manifest type not detected when finding deps for metabase/metabase in coordinate #:local{:root "/Users/dan/projects/work/jars"}

agreed and that is common, but I don't think that's the issue here

but until the OP clarifies, can't tell

Sorry it's taken a while to get back to you. Here's my deps.edn:

                      :exec-fn hf.depstar/uberjar

                  :exec-fn hf.depstar/jar
                  :exec-args {}}}}

{:local/root "resources/jars/apelon"} doesn’t seem to be a path to a jar but a path to a folder that may or may not contain a jar?

The jar file has a pom.xml in its maven directory and has a MANIFEST.MF file in the META-INF directory.

It is the name of the directory that has the .jar file in it.

Should I be adding the name of the .jar file, as well? Trailing /?

The full error message I'm getting is:

Error building classpath. Manifest type not detected when finding deps for apelon-dts/dtscore in coordinate #:local{:root "C:\\Users\\fadrian\\Projects\\motive-cql-builder\\mercator-server\\resources\\jars\\apelon"}

yes use a full path to the jar.

OK. I've changed my :deps declaration for the .jar file to:

apelon-dts/dtscore {:local/root "resources/jars/apelon/dtscore-4.6.1-838.jar"}

Error building classpath. Manifest type not detected when finding deps for apelon-dts/dtscore in coordinate #:local{:root "C:\\Users\\fadrian\\Projects\\motive-cql-builder\\mercator-server\\resources\\jars\\apelon\\dtscore-4.6.1-838.jar"}

The pom.xml file (to my limited experience) looks good and the groupId and artifactId all seem to match.

@U0DTU8J83 And is that full path correct? That's the correct path to that .jar file?

Yes. The full path is correct. When going over the pom.xml files, there are some dependencies that are not in my :deps section. Would I need to add those?

What version of the Clojure CLI? clj --version

and inside the jar file, where is the pom? jar tf dtscore-4.6.1-838.jar | grep pom is what I would do in *nix, not sure if you're on windows

I’ve tried to register 30 times at to download their jar but cannot get it to accept a password through its verification 😞

it's going to look for something under META-INF/ that ends in pom.xml

Not certain about the version... How can I tell? pom.xml is found in META-INF/maven/apelon-dts/dtscore/pom.xml inside the .jar file.

clj --version

1.10.3.1029

can you drop me the jar file somehow?

that all seems like it should be ok

I'm checking whether one can send the jar without running into licensing issues.

I've sent the .jar to you via DM.

well I don't see the problem you see, but I do see others

do you have anything configured in your ~/.m2/settings.xml

No, I don't.

I can see many ways this can be problematic but not getting exactly the same errors - there are some system deps declared in the internal pom that point to hardcoded paths on your system. those fail for me, but that should be downstream from the error you're seeing, so I don't understand that. a workaround for this issue would be to instead include this as a path which will put it on the classpath without trying to understand it's deps:

{:paths ["src" "resources/jars/apelon/dtscore-4.6.1-838.jar"] 

could also be a windows thing I guess

do you have a resources/jars/apelon/project/pom.xml or something like that?

There is in some other jars I have from this company, but none in dtscore.

It turns out your suggestion of adding the file to the src paths went farther, but then crashed with an error message:

ERROR: Unhandled REPL handler exception processing message {:op eval, :code *ns*, :id 1}

Caused by: java.nio.file.NoSuchFileException: c:\Users\fadrian\Projects\motive-cql-builder\mercator-server\resources\jars\apelon\dtscore-4.6.1-838.jar
<more stack trace>

That looks like something failed well beyond, could tell from the stack trace

Anyhow, I think something else is needed here from a feature level and I'll log something about that

According to the stack trace, it's throwing the exception when it's trying to read some file attributes for/within the .jar:

That is coming from CIDER/nREPL -- so you're well past the Clojure CLI and deps.edn issue. Maybe you can go ask in #cider? It might be Windows a path/escape issue in the nREPL middleware?

Sounds good. I'll give it a shot.

(posting here as well). I'd urge you to get a repl up without any extra tooling before figuring out what is going on in CIDER and Calva. I think Calva on windows uses a reproduction of the clojure cli and not the actual cli. Further, CIDER's tooling might have a bug, or might be hitting an issue related to this jar. It was far better to get a repl using just clojure or clj command line tools and then proceed to editor integrated tooling

Why not installing the jar file locally, and then using it in the project.clj or deps directly?

mvn install:install-file –Dfile=C:\dev\app.jar -DgroupId=com.roufid.tutorials -DartifactId=example-app -Dversion=1.0

I asked something like this couple weeks ago and they send a few suggestions. I like the code of https://github.com/metabase/metabase.

heh. We work there and he is looking for something a bit smaller in scope that is “good code” for learning the language more than learning how to make a proper full product

(and you made our day 🙂 )

Instaparse comes to mind: https://github.com/Engelberg/instaparse

that’s a pretty complex domain to jump into for someone new to the language

(but an amazing project)

i think something like hiccup might fit the bill?

@U11BV7MTK LOL 😅 I just saw your profile now. hehe

How about https://github.com/weavejester/medley

almost too abstract. that would be handy idioms rather than library code that accomplishes something

after doing Clojure for a year that library is lovely. But before some experience it would just feel like koans i suspect
