I upgraded to boot-cljs 1.7.170-1 and am now getting a Uncaught TypeError: cb is not a function nexttick.js:185. The error disappears if I remove boot-cljs-repl (0.2.0), though I don't see cb in boot-cljs-repl source.

@domkm: are you :advanced compiling? altho it's hard to tell if cb is closure minified name or idiomatic clojure lol

@alandipert: Nope, using :none

is there a way to add native lib dependencies to boot tasks? i’m messing around with opencv and i have the libopencv_java300.dylib packaged into a jar and installed in my local maven repo, but it doesn’t seem to work when i add it to the boot env :dependencies. it works fine in lein tho.

boot doesn't include a mechanism for that

it's kind of a hack i think, based on various conventions that aren't standardized

you would need to put the system dependent things in a directory then add that to the jvm library path

i believe there is a version of opencv that has its own native library loader

another boot question: shouldn't there be a way to specify classifier in the pom task?

i was just digging around clojars and it’s unclear to me if they support classifiers, but certainly other maven repos do

@esp1 have you tried it?

i'm not sure if aether supports that, or pomegranate

it would be interesting to know

although i can't figure out exactly what the purpose of them really is

i haven’t tried publishing a jar with classifiers into clojars yet, if that’s what you mean, but i did note that the boot pom task doesn’t have a way to specify them

they’re often used for source jars, for example

also sometimes for native dependencies, but like you said that’s not terribly standardized

ah that makes sense

basically for things outside the actual dependency graph

can you link me to a deployed pom that has classifiers?

sure, 1 sec

any of these: http://search.maven.org/#search%7Cga%7C1%7Cl%3A%22sources%22

also: http://search.maven.org/#search%7Cga%7C1%7Cl%3A%22macosx-x86_64%22

ah so it doesn't appear to be part of the pom.xml in fact

really? i thought it was..

i believe the classifiers distinguish between multiple artifacts all deployed with the same pom

it must be in the repo metadata

oh yeah - looks like it’s only used in the dependency spec. so weird, i always thought it was part of the source pom

it's in the file name

you can specify it via mvn install:install-jar -Dclassifier=xyz … when you’re publishing to the repo,

yeah i think that's just naming the jar a special way

maven2/org/bytedeco/javacpp-presets/videoinput/0.200-1.1/videoinput-0.200-1.1-android-arm.jar

huh, TIL maven is weird

actually, no i knew that long, long ago

haha

well their repo system is simple enough

which is a relief

i bet boot can do it

you just need to name the jar correctly

the install task could take a classifier

and you can test locally too

i’ll give it a shot

:thumbsup:

thx for talking me through this

pull request relcomed if you figure it out

*welcomed

Is there a boot task that’s the equivalent of maven’s dependency:unpack?

@clem: what does that do?

explode jars into the filesystem?

@micha exactly

boot uber

Where the jar is a listed dependency.

💥

yea

try this

boot -d tailrecursion/warp uber show -f

Cool, I’ll give that a go. Thanks.

np

boot uber --help for allt he details

Is there a directory of built-in tasks? The listing at https://github.com/boot-clj/boot/wiki/Built-In-Tasks seems a little on the sparse side.

haha yeah it's a work in progress

i started with the first one, alphabetical order

you can do boot -h

each individual task has help at the command line via boot <task> --help

or in the repl (doc <task>)

Nice. That should get me started.

what are you wanting to do?

there may be a scaffold or example to look at

We’ll, I’m looking to create project templates that compile markdown documents into PDFs and deploys them to the maven repo.

I’ve implemented such a system in maven and looking to port it to boot.

oh interesting

So looking to do things like maven archetypes.

in boot you can do all that stuff with tasks

That’s the gist of what I’m seeing. The feel reminds me a bit of gradle.

yeah definitely more gradle than maven

but way more gradle than gradle

BTW, is there currently a means of specifying a type other than “jar” for a dependency?

sure, you can use any of the things that pomegranate supports

one sec

https://github.com/cemerick/pomegranate/blob/master/src/main/clojure/cemerick/pomegranate/aether.clj#L508-L517

boot uses pomegranate, so all of that is supported

Ok, looks like boot is possibly inserting “jar” as a classifier even if one is specified. So:

boot -d my-group:my-artifact:zip:bundle:1.0.0 uber show

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Bad artifact coordinates my-group:my-artifact:jar:zip:bundle:1.0.0, expected format is <groupId>:<artifactId>[:<extension>[:<classifier>]]:<version>

that's the command line

the command line parsing is simplified

like do this boot repl

ok

and when you have a repl try (set-env! :dependencies '[[my-group/my-artifact "1.2.3" :extension "zip"]])

following the format you see in the link i pasted above

Ok, excellent, that works.

Going to call it a night, but I appreciate the help. Look forward to digging into boot further.

good luck

hey, if i fork a dependency in github to fix a bug, how do i tell boot to use my fork so I can test it and until the PR is accepted upstream?

@thedavidmeister: You can install the library to your local maven repository with lein install / boot build-jar / boot pom jar install

hmm, “no such task (build-jar)"

i’ll try one of the other ones

build-jar is for Boot projects using bootlaces

lein command is obviously for lein projects

You should check what tasks project's build.boot defines

I'd like to embed the current commit in my boot-cljs builds -- can any of Boot's jgit wrapper stuff help with that?

@pandeiro: describe or last-commit perhaps. If you need something else it should be easy to call jgit directly

@juhoteperi: cheers, last-commit is perfect. describe outputs nil but i'm not sure what it's supposed to do.

@pandeiro: describe usually refers to previous tag so if you don't have any, it might not work

@juhoteperi: OK thanks, appreciate it

git describe --help should offer comprehensive documentation 😉

There’s also +last-commit+ in bootlaces if you’ve already required that ns
