Those are different files used by different, largely incompatible, tooling

Am I? following is instructions for environ (dark) and Kaocha (light), am I misreading that they're both talking about Leiningen/project.clj?

Sorry, it has been a long time since I've used lein now, and just saw the alias key and thought that didn't belong

@U05D3EAA6FM how are you trying to run the tests? What command?

lein test works, I am trying to run lein kaocha

You need to specify the :profile/dev profile

Hmm, no :dev supposedly pulled that in...

Sorry, been eight years since I used lein heavily... Profiles were always a weird area...

Maybe @U45T93RA6 can help you when he is around...

❯ lein with-profile +project/dev classpath
Warning: profile :profiles/dev not found.

this is also true with lein classpath since i think dev is included by default

and then i just ran lein kaocha and it worked

❯ lein kaocha
Warning: profile :profiles/dev not found.

using your project.clj file but with all the deps removed. I added environ back in and it still “worked” except it gave an error because environ brought in clojure 1.8 and kaocha requries 1.9+

❯ lein kaocha
Warning: profile :profiles/dev not found.
ERROR: Kaocha requires Clojure 1.9 or later.

do you have a file at ~/.lein/profiles.clj? I’m not sure how multiple :dev profiles are merged, but perhaps you have one in <project>/profiles.clj or ~/.lein/profiles.clj and it’s clobbering?

I don't have a ~/.lein/profiles.clj

can you post the output of running lein kaocha?

can you make a new directory in your /tmp directory called check and make the file /tmp/check/project.clj with these contents:

can you tell me what pwd is here?

Did you mean ~/tmp/check or /tmp/check?

/tmp/check

And you wanted pwd in my project directory or /tmp/check? The latter is /tmp/check

The former is /Users/nsadeh/Dropbox/modeldiplomat/server

i want to make sure that you are running lein kaocha from /tmp/check

Ohhh

$ lein kaocha --version
Warning: profile :profiles/dev not found.

lambdaisland/kaocha "1.87.1366"

ok. so that works

From /tmp/check

you have to run lein kaocha from the directory your project is in

Yea that still is broken in the same way

Same output as before

cd ~/Dropbox/modeldiplomat/server`
lein kaocha

That is correct

i’m confused. where did you run lein kaocha for the /tmp/check one? Why didn’t you run it from that directory

I am not sure I am getting this right. I ran lein kaocha twice, once from /tmp/check, and once from the project directory ~/Dropbox/modeldiplomat/server . The former resulted in Warning: profile :profiles/dev not found, and the latter resulted in Can't find 'kaocha.runner' as .class or .clj

What does the full report say?

It should have the entire stacktrace, which likely isn't useful, but you never know
