guys, is there something like boot.repl/default-requires defined which I could modify in my profile.boot to auto-load custom namespaces during boot’s start-up time ?

@michal There is boot_shim.clj which might help with that. Not entirely sure though. Have you tried the various repl task options? (`boot repl -h`)

👏 @annapawlicka

haha thx @martinklepsch

@michal: does calling the require function in profile.boot not do what you want?

@alandipert: nope, looks like all dependencies I add through (swap! boot.repl/default-dependencies….) are not fetched at this time

how are you invoking boot?

simply ‘boot repl’. just to clarify, what I’d like to achieve is to load custom dependency and require its namespace independently from project. this is why I thought profile.boot is the best fit here

it does sound like the right fit... and calling set-env! and require in profile.boot is not sufficient?

e.g. (set-env! :dependencies #(conj % '[my/lib "1.0.0"])) (require 'my.lib.core)

i tried something like this:

(swap! boot.repl/default-dependencies concat '[[cider/cider-nrepl "0.10.0-SNAPSHOT"] [im.chit/vinyasa "0.3.4"] [spyscope "0.1.5"] [refactor-nrepl "1.1.0-SNAPSHOT"]]) (require 'spyscope.core)

and it fails trying to find spyscope namespaces

i see. there is this: http://hoplon.discoursehosting.net/t/how-to-use-spyscope-with-boot-solved/492

thanks, this is it

one question though. isn’t it so that (set-env! :dependencies …) replaces :dependencies from build.boot ?

it precedes, does not replace

you can call set-env as many times as you want, it's a function in boot.core

you can also call it from teh repl to add deps without restarting jvm

i do this all the time in the early stages of a project

cool, I didn’t know it. it solves my problem completely, thanks again.

no prob! happy computing 😃 💻

I'm using Boot 2.1.2 and I'm finding that Boot isn't loading .cljc files in dependencies. I have a simple boot script this is throwing an error Could not locate cljs/util__init.class or cljs/util.clj on classpath:

(set-env!
 :dependencies '[[org.clojure/clojurescript "0.0-3255"]])

(require '[cljs.build.api])

(deftask foo []
  (prn "hi"))

adamfrey: acn you paste the output of boot --version please?

is boot clojure version my problem?

#https://github.com/boot-clj/boot #Mon Jul 20 10:13:10 EDT 2015 BOOT_CLOJURE_VERSION=1.6.0 BOOT_VERSION=2.1.2 #App version: 2.0.0

I bet that needs to be 1.7

the recommended setup is to do BOOT_CLOJURE_VERSION=1.7.0 boot --update

that will set your global default to 1.7.0

but you should also add a :dependency on org.clojure/clojure to your project to prevent confusion with transitive deps

right, thank you.

if other people might be building the project, or continuous inetgration, like jenkins, i recommend doing the following

in the project dir do BOOT_CLOJURE_VERSION=1.7.0 boot --version > boot.properties

that creates a boot.properties file in the project dir

which will be respected by boot for that project

the next release of boot will have 1.7.0 as the default

got it. I knew that couldn't have been a widespread problem.

it's an unfortunate convergence of small issues that combined make a pretty confusing situation
