:build here is an alias in your deps.edn, presumably it contains a :ns-default or something, I'm guessing build

because of that, it will try to resolve cljs-release as a var in build (`build/cljs-release` ). is there a build.clj in the root of your project?

ah thanks for the hint. I assumed the :paths at the top level would still apply but I guess -T replaces that. added :paths ["src/dev"] to the alias and it works.

that error message could be improved IMHO 😛

yes, -T removes the project :paths and adds ["."]

can you clarify which piece of this was the point of confusion?

I assumed there was just a syntax error or something preventing the load. didn't think of "not found" since for me the file was clearly on the "classpath"

just wasn't aware the -T removed all top level config. first time using that, didn't check any docs for that flag.

would "Namespace not found on classpath: build" have been better?

absolutely. In addition one thing I do in shadow-cljs is list the paths that were checked. So could potentially list the classpath (minus jars, so only actual folders)

well, -T is usually invoking code from a jar

so that is not a good filter here

build.clj is not in a jar?

correct, but -T is often used for tools that are external to the project

ah ok

but I could possibly provide the command that would list the classpath

yeah, all I needed was a little hint. so any option that could provide insight would help. I was just like "hmm, how I debug this" so I asked.

I appreciate it, will at least update the message a little

wonderful. thx.

So executing clj -T:build jar will use an effective classpath here of:

"." (added by -T)

while I have you here. any thoughts on this? seems to work ok, so seems fine to me.

(defn cljs-release [& args]
  (let [basis
        (b/create-basis
          {:project "deps.edn"
           :aliases [:cljs]})

        res
        (-> (b/java-command
              {:basis basis
               :main 'clojure.main
               :main-args ["-m" "shadow.cljs.devtools.cli" "release" "frontend"]})
            (b/process))]

    (when-not (zero? (:exit res))
      (throw (ex-info "CLJS compilation failed!" {})))))

basically the goal is giving people a way to invoke shadow-cljs to make a CLJS release .js file before packing a uberjar (thread: https://clojureverse.org/t/making-a-clojure-clojurescript-project-in-oct-2024-round-2/10991)

lgtm

not sure if :cljs is "standard" but could have an option to override that

yeah people can change that if needed. I'm not intending to make this a library or so. just wanted to have something as a reference to show when people ask how you'd build CLJS in a tools.build context

usually people will have CLJS stuff in an alias I think
