Now I have to create a Tiny Violin tag in my Github tracker.

@alexmiller is this something you would want to support?

{:git/url "../"
 :deps/root "sub-dir"
 :sha "abcabc"}

I'm getting:

oh, weird, I can't supply an absolute path either, it is forced to be a relative one.

Looks like paths aren't supported at all: Error building classpath. org.eclipse.jgit.transport.TransportLocal cannot be cast to org.eclipse.jgit.transport.SshTransport

I'll open JIRA tickets

local git repos were intentionally out of scope

could possibly be added, but I would rank that below a lot of other things to work on

so I’ve classified these as minor enhancements in jira

sounds very reasonable to me. I just don't touch the priority fields, based on what I think I'm supposed to do.

@dominicm the whole point of a monorepo is that you don't have to worry about the versions, because you are supposed to ensure that on every commit all modules/libraries/apps still build and work in your monorepo 😕

@onetom I know 😞 sometimes we put things into life support though, quite useful under those conditions.

I was wondering how can I control the refresh period of -SNAPSHOT dependencies. Or is it possible to pin them to a specific version? For example, I have all these versions:

$ ls -lah ~/.m2/repository/com/bhauman/figwheel-main/0.1.8-SNAPSHOT/*.jar
-rw-r--r-- 1 onetom staff 135K Aug 14 20:07 /Users/onetom/.m2/repository/com/bhauman/figwheel-main/0.1.8-SNAPSHOT/figwheel-main-0.1.8-20180813.135516-2.jar
-rw-r--r-- 1 onetom staff 137K Aug 15 19:16 /Users/onetom/.m2/repository/com/bhauman/figwheel-main/0.1.8-SNAPSHOT/figwheel-main-0.1.8-20180814.194035-3.jar
-rw-r--r-- 1 onetom staff 140K Aug 21 08:29 /Users/onetom/.m2/repository/com/bhauman/figwheel-main/0.1.8-SNAPSHOT/figwheel-main-0.1.8-20180818.154912-4.jar
-rw-r--r-- 1 onetom staff 140K Aug 21 08:29 /Users/onetom/.m2/repository/com/bhauman/figwheel-main/0.1.8-SNAPSHOT/figwheel-main-0.1.8-SNAPSHOT.jar

I think that "0.1.8-20180818.154912-4" works as a version

I was thinking that maybe one solution would be to just use a git dependency in this case, but then it also depends on SNAPSHOT versions of figwheel-core and figwheel-repl https://github.com/bhauman/figwheel-main/blob/master/deps.edn#L6-L7

@dominicm thanks, indeed it does. so i can just specify explicit versions of the transitive dependencies too and it should be fine.

still, it would be good to be able to disable automatic SNAPSHOT updating somehow. iirc i could do that in boot

in boot I pass --offline

yeah, that's the option i was thinking about!
