Does seancorfield/clj-new have a way to specify copying a binary file from the template source dir to the target dir? The doc kind of says that the render function without a data argument would do that, but it looks like it treats the file as text with linefeeds and corrupts the binary data. Is there a way to do this that still fits into the ->files body?

Hello I try to run clj on windows in cygwin but I get:

$ clojure Error: Could not find or load main class clojure.main Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: clojure.main

Any ideas?

try clojure -Spath you should get a string with all the jars including clojure-%version%.jar then go check if this jar is actualy available

If I run "clojure -Spath" I get the same error

@andreas.scheinert We had someone here a while ago who has an older version of clojure on his path. What do you see when you type clojure -h

I have a file here: /usr/local/lib/clojure/libexec ==> clojure-tools-1.10.1.507.jar*

borkdude here is version "clojure -h" print out

Version: 1.10.1.507

that's good then

I know its a bit side stepping but, ok I took the effort and installed it on powershell

clj and clojure give me now a REPL

but

how do I run the deps code from here in powershell? https://github.com/clj-python/clj-template

clj -Sdeps '{:deps {seancorfield/clj-new {:mvn/version "0.8.6"}}}' \
  -m clj-new.create \
   \
  appcompany.funapp

I figured I remove all the \ and create a long single line of command, but then that still gives me:

Error while parsing option "--config-data {:deps {seancorfield/clj-new {:mvn/version 0.8.6}}}": java.lang.NumberFormatException: Invalid number: 0.8.6

I notice that resolve-deps doesn't mention that it will be concurrent even if :threads isn't provided. Should it?

Ah, follow this guide for Windows https://github.com/clojure/tools.deps.alpha/wiki/clj-on-Windows#escaping-quotes

Even following that Windows guide didn't work for me 😞

make-classpath-roots mentions the system separator, but it doesn't really make sense in the context.

@andreas.scheinert This worked for me:

> clj -Sdeps '{:deps {seancorfield/clj-new {:mvn/version ""0.8.6""}}}' -m clj-new.create   appcompany.funapp

(that said, even with Python 3.7 installed from the Windows Store, I can't actually get the new project to run but that should be taken up in #libpython-clj at this point)

For private git repo deps on Windows, is only Pageant supported as the ssh agent for authentication or can OpenSSH also work?

try it and see?

I know that pageant works, don't know about openssh

@alexmiller I have been trying. It seems to be attempting to use OpenSSH. I can tell because the specific error message I get changes depending on whether github is added to .ssh/known_hosts. However, even though I can use git on Powershell to clone a private git repo, I get an error when trying to run clj with a private github dep. The lowest part of the stack trace is just:

Caused by: com.jcraft.jsch.JSchException: Auth fail
        at com.jcraft.jsch.Session.connect(Session.java:519)
        at org.eclipse.jgit.transport.JschConfigSessionFactory.getSession(JschConfigSessionFactory.java:126)
        ... 45 more

well I think I would say, no it doesn't work then

It’s been finicky to get it working even with Pageant. So I’m never sure whether something just doesn’t work, or if I’m just doing something slightly wrong

ssh is generally tricky, particularly with access to the wide world of credential providers

there are some options (including shelling out to just use git) which we have explored. newer versions of jgit use apache mina instead of jsch. I have spent some time working on evaluating these alternatives but haven't had time to really get to the end of that process

another option would be to clone, then use as a local repo instead

or to clone, build and install a local artifact, then use that

Okay, thanks. One other question for you. I’ve resorted to trying OpenSSH on one of our dev’s windows machines only because we couldn’t get deps working with Pageant on that machine. I have no idea why it’s not working because we’ve been able to get it working on other Windows machines. Based on your experience, do you have any idea of any “gotchas” we might be running into? The error message is the same as above.

If not, that’s okay, I know that’s a very vague question. Just wondering if anything comes to mind of the top of your head

I don't unfortunately. the jsch stuff is a bit flaky

if you're using any ssh agent, make sure the SSH_AUTH_SOCK variable is set so that Clojure (via JSch) knows where the agent is
