Hey guys, I'm new here so please bear with me. I'm creating a boot script with the following content:
#!/usr/bin/boot
(defn -main
[& args]
(println "blah"))
Boot failed to start:
java.lang.NullPointerException

Uninstall boot and re-install it. Then make a new empty directory, cd into it, and run boot to see what happens.
I'm guessing that (System/getProperty "boot.app.path") is null here. https://github.com/boot-clj/boot/blob/master/boot/core/src/boot/main.clj#L113-L114
ok so I uninstalled linuxbrew 's boot
and downloaded the executable directly and put it on the PATH
and now it works perfectly fine
o.O
thanks for the suggestion tbl3rd 😄 I can start automating my stuff with clojure now to slowly convert people to clojurists 👀
Welcome to the party!
I installed Boot via Homebrew, so boot actually lives in /home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/bin/boot
but that should be fine since /usr/bin/env boot finds the first boot executable in the PATH?
What does which boot say?
Because from the output it looks like boot ran.
/home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/bin/boot
I'm really new into this whole thing, and googling that error didn't give me any result at all

fwiw, this worked for me:
#!/usr/local/bin/boot
(defn -main
[& args]
(println "blah"))
maybe my boot executable is just in the wrong place
