clojure.tools.deps.alpha/make-classpath is marked as deprecated, but there’s no mention of why, or suggestions for an alternative. What should I be doing instead?

@cfleming I'm guessing create-basis which returns a map with contains the classpath

Sounds plausible, or even just the current implementation, which is a one-liner and doesn’t use anything deprecated.

It would be nice to understand the thinking a little more though.

create-basis is pretty much the primitive used all over in tools build

make-classpath-map is the replacement, but certainly create-basis is often a better thing to use

It depends what you're trying to do of course :)

In my case, get the individual elements of the classpath as strings. Previously I called make-classpath then used str/split.

In the end I just inlined the existing impl and removed the string join, so I don’t need to re-split it.
