does this look wrong somehow? It’s an alias in my deps.edn {:main-opts ["-e" "(require 'dev) (dev/seed-db)"]} and it throws a Exception in thread "main" clojure.lang.LispReader$ReaderException: java.lang.RuntimeException: EOF while reading, starting at line 1

yeah, the inner string is not going to end up getting quoted right

so it just needs more quoting? {:main-opts ["-e" "\"(require 'dev) (dev/seed-db)\""]}

that doesn’t work either

no, that probably won't work either due to how this gets propagated. this is a known issue

you can try the "corfield comma" (comma instead of spaces)

{:main-opts ["-e" "(require,'dev)(dev/seed-db)"]}

yes, that does work, thank you very much — I don’t think I would have found it myself!

someone summoned me 🙂 @stathissideris It's usually around this time I point people at my dot-clojure file for examples of :main-opts https://github.com/seancorfield/dot-clojure/blob/master/deps.edn
