there's a library (https://github.com/bhauman/simple-lein-profile-merge) that looks like it can do this, but i don't really want to be manually merging profiles

maybe a figwheel.edn file in order to separate figwheel from the rest of my project?

yes

i'm not sure i can specify dependencies in there though, and it's dependencies that i need from my profiles

specifying deps is separate than specifying build traits

is there another way of configuring deps for figwheel rather than using profiles?

to run figwheel i use figwheel-sidecar for example, but i don't need that in my production builds (and have a good reason to exclude it)

I hear you

but Im not clear yet on your actual needs

you are starting a clojure env from cursive correct?

i'm running in a clojure.main process in order to run figwheel in cursive

so you are needing the clojure.main process to have the dependencies

yes

does that make sense

yes, that's exactly it

so you first have to solve that problem

i'm trying to work out how to get the necessary deps into my clojure.main process

i've recently had to reconfigure my build to use profiles for different sets of deps

wait

so I don't use cursive

i can't work out how to specify which deps figwheel gets if i'm not allowed to use profiles, which seems to be the case with sidecar

OK these are seperate issues

can you see that

figwheel-sidecar is a dependency

so if you can specify that it is a dependency

not really; i think i only have one issue: how to specify deps for figwheel in a clojure.main process

i can't specify that it is a dependency at the top level of my project.clj

but that isn't a thing

I'm not trying to resist you, I just want you to understand

i think i've misunderstood something then

here's the (Brief) history

that you can only specify dependencies for a Clojure process

in leiningen that is where you use profiles

I have a project with both clj and cljs in it. My clj won't start fast enough because too many deps, so I split clj and cljs deps into profiles.

yes that makes sense

now i can't run fighweel, because the deps it needs are in a profile which does not get merged.

so you want to start a clojure.main process with the correct lein profile

yes

ok, i see that i thought figwheel could do this, but now i see it is not a figwheel issue

and this it is this question that you will want to ask a cursive user

ok thanks v much!

👍

I'm happy to add an issue, but what repo would that be in? I get a clojure traceback when providing plain dev as my build, so I imagine this need to be fixed somewhere else than clojure-emacs/cider itself?

It is cider because we shell out, it is actually a pretty easy fix to this fn https://github.com/clojure-emacs/cider/blob/e47ce978077479542d57fd2f15eb5523cf09826a/cider.el#L703-L708.

and the fix is similar to this one already there for shadow - but the opposite 😉 https://github.com/clojure-emacs/cider/blob/e47ce978077479542d57fd2f15eb5523cf09826a/cider.el#L691

probably would be good to normalize to a string with no : and then add if/when necessary or something

I made a PR: https://github.com/clojure-emacs/cider/pull/2385

I tried to not break the (undocumented?) case where a user might want to pass a map of options (which figwheel-main/start supports, according to some docstring in cider.el), or even an arbitrary s-expr

this is my first PR to cider so please point out if I'm missing something basic

in particular, I couldn't find the doc with the contributon guidelines

'ts been merged!

Awesome work, just checked! Thank you!
