Hey all, I’m looking for a little assistance in forking lein-cucumber to see whether bumping it’s cucumber dependency fixes an exit code issue for me but was hoping for a little advice before embarking on this. Is anyone around for a quick chat?

@paulspencerwilliams, you may not need to fork it. I recently had an issue with a Twitter library causing all sorts of build failures with clj-http when running lein uberjar. I cloned the repository locally, adjusted the version numbers, then used lein install to put it in my local Maven repository. Worked like a champ.

Personally, I don’t like the massive amount of clutter that forks can cause when searching for a particular library. People just fork like crazy and often make no changes describing what makes the fork different, etc.

Sorry @akiva, I didn’t notice your reply but I did exactly that and it worked a dream. Agreed. I also agree with populating search terms. After doing the debugging, I’ve established another fork

org.clojars.punkisdead/lein-cucumber

Excellent! I would just make sure I noted there that it’s a fork and, most importantly, why it was forked.

Unfortunately, all that work has established the bumped dependency still exhibits the behaviour I didn’t want, but at least I’ve avoided on yak to shave!

Thanks.
