I just encountered my first instance of a clojure library only being available via github

?

i.e., it's not on clojars

you are expected to use it by specifying the github repo and a sha

The Cognitect Labs test-runner is like that -- but I assume you mean "aside from clj-specific tooling"?

(also my clj-new is not on Clojars but, again, clj-specific tooling)

Can I specify a username and password for a Maven repo?

@kenny In settings.xml I believe...

Not in a deps.edn?

You certainly don't want your Maven creds in your project's deps file under version control.

Via environment variables.

deps.edn is static EDN, no variables.

So there is no way to use private Maven repositories? Or does tools-deps read in settings.xml?

@kenny Discussed yesterday in #clojure https://clojurians.slack.com/archives/C03S1KBA2/p1529458093000094

I haven't tried it myself (and haven't seen specific documentation about it).

@kenny I haven't read through all of the details but this is the JIRA issue that covers this https://dev.clojure.org/jira/browse/TDEPS-9

Looks like it relies on Maven's standard settings.xml file according to the patch in that ticket.

Got it, thanks!

yes, that is all correct

(it was a TIL moment for me so thank you for asking @kenny!)

For Maven deps in authenticated repositories, existing Maven infrastructure is used to convey credentials via the ~/.m2/settings.xml:

  <servers>
    …
    <server>
      <id>my-auth-repo</id>
      <username>zango</username>
      <password>123</password>
    </server>
    …
  </servers>

Then in your deps.edn include a repo with a name matching the <id>:

{:deps
 {authenticated/dep {:mvn/version "1.2.3"}}
 :mvn/repos
 {"my-auth-repo" {:url ""}}}

is it not possible to specify relative paths in :local/root?

it is possible

I'm trying to use lein-tools-deps to point to two different deps.edn, one of which points at the other via relative path

could be a lein-tools-deps bug …

there are some known issues with local to local and relative paths

particularly around :paths

@alexmiller Just a gentle reminder about the module naming issue, you said you had had discussions about this in the context of git deps.

yeah, haven’t had time, and won’t today. but I haven’t completely forgotten

Ok, thanks

changing :local/root to be an absolute path resolved things for lein-tools-deps. Hum.

Oh cute, I got it working

Solution is to not specify the deps.edn files directly in project.clj, just leave it as :project. Then, make an uber deps.edn that points at the deps.edn files. Things resolve as expected
