Does uber prune deps that aren’t used? (Maybe the term is “tree shaking”?) I am trying to set the uberjar main to a namespace in a :local/root dep that is never called called and getting a Error: Failed to load class ... When a require the namespace in an arbitrary source file and rebuild the uberjar, the error is no longer raised.

no pruning, should use all deps

are you compiling? if so, you might need to specify that it should be compiled if it's not in your src dir

Ah ok. I am compiling. That is probably the issue.

by default compile-clj will compile all the namespaces in your project srcs

but it doesn't know about the local dep ones

So maybe the way to go in this case is to inspect the basis to get the path to the dep(s) and call compile-clj on each? Does that sound sane?

compile-clj can be given a set of namespaces to compile

I think maybe I would call it twice - once the way you are

and again just to specify any additional specific namespaces to compile

Gotcha. Thanks!
