How can I make clojure cli download jars if Clojure 1.10.1 in ~/.m2 is not found.

try using -Sforce

that will force the classpath to be recomputed, not used from cache and should trigger a download

@alexmiller Thanks! it works

Is there a way to run the clj/clojure script so it doesn't try to resolve deps first? were getting a classpath error and were hoping to get some diagnostic information via J-XshowSettings:properties, but we hit the "cannot find artifact" error first.

if you don't resolve deps, you can't make a classpath, and thus can't start a JVM to use that setting, so no?

That makes sense. I guess i need to oreint myself, clj assumes you can start a JVM, but for debugging their is some information you can get before that. So i can just run java -XshowSettings:properties.

is that a thing?

is what a thing? 🙂

showsettings

I see it is - was confused by the help message after nvm

If a deps procurer (local/root) points to another deps with a Procurer (e.g mvn/repos) Can i assume that it will read that Procurer or does it just grab the deps?

if you're asking whether transitive dependency maven repos will be used to resolve dependencies, then no

maven allows this, but it seems awfully dicey from a security pov so I kind of consider it an anti-feature

its likely i'm not describing this correctly. I have a deps.edn with {:deps {datomic {:local/root "../datomic"}} and in "../datomic" the deps reads {:mvn/repos {"http://my.datomic.com" {:url "https..."}} It seems i have to add the mvn repos to the deps with the local/root procurer, even though that deps doesn't directly have a dep on datomic-pro. It has that dependency through the other deps. @alexmiller as always, thanks for the help.

Yeah, that’s the scenario I’m describing

The question is, do you want your transitive deps to make decisions about where you get things on the internet?

The answer is definitely not an unqualified yes

So it needs a lot of thought

i understand. thanks alex.

okay, I know how to bait Alex Miller to tell us some more about tools-build, watch this:

tools-build is a fork of scala's SBT

do you want me to write about it, or do you want me to finish it? :)

I was going to make a joke reply, but now I'm trying to decide my actual stance on it... If I know the high level goal I can plan around it and start getting my chickens in a row 🐔

@dominicm I'm curious how your chickens would be organized differently based on various possible high level goals of tools.build?
