Are you running this in or outside a project? (Not that it should matter, both should work)

it was the same on both... wait this is only happening in the emacs shells, seems to work in powershell

Going to try the old "restart everything trick", it might be that

and in cmd.exe?

it seems a nil is passed here: https://github.com/clojure/tools.deps/blob/6cfa31355278b34a71b8e85d24da1663827ff193/src/main/clojure/clojure/tools/deps/util/io.clj#L48 Not sure why

yup works there too. I think it has to do with emacs seeing the wrong environment variables (despite restarting it)

ok

Ah yeah, that was it. I had another instance of emacs open that was causing it to not refresh the env. working now. Thanks for looking

so with which env var not set did you get the error?

XDG_CACHE or so?

I think it might have been JAVA_HOME? as that was giving me another issue that seemed related, but haven't verified that that's used in tools.deps

I don't see how JAVA_HOME would cause the above error, it seems tools deps was writing to a directory that didn't exist or so

hmm I do use the XDG_CONFIG_HOME for clojure but I don't think that would have been unset. So now I'm not so sure it was that. Going to see if I can reproduce it

maybe if you set XDG_CONFIG_HOME or CACHE_HOME to a non-existing directory or empty string, the error could happen?

I can trigger a warning with that, but different:

$ XDG_CACHE_HOME="" bb clojure
Error building classpath. Can't create directory: /clojure
Exception in thread "main" java.io.FileNotFoundException: /clojure/940AA8FA0E8C78469532CDFC872761FE.cp (No such file or directory)

Yup that seems to be it for me:

arg wait no sorry that was in an old shell with the bad env at least I have that to look at now one sec

Not sure if this is the cause but it seems related: DEPS_CLJ_TOOLS_VERSION was pointing to the old version that was no longer installed in the stale env. And which doesn't exist as a directory in ~/.deps.clj/ I can't immediately see how that leads to the exact error. On a quick glance it seems like it could cause issues in deps.clj, such as here: https://github.com/borkdude/deps.clj/blob/b2356ff4b28e3b115479d2d3d6e4135bf20f9150/deps.clj#L614-L618

ah yes, that can surely mess things up

since the older or newer tools version will or won't pass certain things like jvm-file, basis-file, etc

there lately have been some changes there
