merge classpaths from multiple clojure projects in subfolders

for some analyzer step in our ci

but that's fine, I can work around it, just wanted to check if there was a way

one more thing: will Clojure always treat the deps.edn in the current directory the Project source or is there a way to override that? like clojure -Spath -depsedn=./subfolder/deps.edn?

I'm guessing not, based on the reference

yep, appears so, nevermind 🙂

@U08BJGV6E If you don't mind omitting the user deps.edn, you could point the CLJ_CONFIG env var at the subfolder and clojure would treat that as your user deps.edn instead. It would still then also include the project deps.edn however.

You could also do -Sdeps '{:deps {subfolder/code {:local/root "subfolder"}}}' -Spath which would give you a combined classpath of that subfolder and the project deps.edn files.

Thank you I figured it is actually easier to just go (cd subfolder && clojure -Spath ) instead

those are nice tricks though

If you want "multiple clojure projects in subfolders", the :local/root deps might be the way to go there? If you only want one subfolder, then cd is definitely easier.

but does carry the caveats of considering any deps.edn in the cwd - my intention is to examine projects in multiple subfolders in isolation

so what I ended up doing is looping over subfolders and going cd in parentheses

that keeps it clean and doesn't mix .cpcaches either

Another trick:

clojure -Spath -Sdeps '{:deps {current/deps {:local/root "."}}}'

clj -Spath | tr ':' '\n' | while read i; do realpath "$i"; done | tr '\n' ':'

@U2J4FRT2T thank you, a version of that is what I ended up arriving at!

Slightly longer version :)

clj -Spath | bb '(as-> *in* $ (slurp $) (str/trim $) (str/split $ #":") (map fs/real-path $) (str/join ":" $))'

find . -name deps.edn \
| while read p
do
  dirname "$p"
done \
| while read dp
do
  realpath "$dp"
done \
| sort \
| while read dp
do
  ( cd "$dp" && clojure -Spath -Sforce -Srepro \
    | tr ":" "\n" \
    | while read p
    do
      realpath "$p"
    done
  )
done \
| sort \
| uniq \
| tr "\n" ":"

> merge classpaths from multiple clojure projects in subfolders It feels like I’ve seen this request a few times in the last months, spread over different channels. Would it make sense to build some version of it into the cli?
