hey. I am having a problem installing deps-new on Fedora Linux, using both the fish and bash shells.

when I run clojure -Ttools install io.github.seancorfield/deps-new '{:git/tag "v0.4.9"}' :as new I get Unreadable arg: "{:git/tag"

Are you sure you are using the quotes like you have there verbatim?

I would expect an error like that if the single quotes were missing for example

I am using the exact same command as the one on the repo's readme

Are you running it as part of a shell script or typing it directly in the terminal?

The command from the readme doesn't fail like that using bash for me

directly in the terminal

(completely different error about my git trying to launch an x11 program without an x11 display before cloning from GitHub)

A regular terminal emulator?

Are you sure that clojure is the tools.deps related script? What does clojure -Sdescribe say?

as for the terminal, I am using the gnome terminal emulator. and I do not think that should matter

my clojure and java install are all inside a podman container (using distrobox)

Ah

You may need some extra quotation to pass the args through the extra layer there

'\' instead of just '

Or not, distrobox would just run the shell

What kind of error do you get if you replace :git/tag with :foo/bar in the command?

Unreadable arg: "{:foo/bar"

the escaping worked, kinda

Cloning: 
Execution error (ExceptionInfo) at clojure.tools.deps.alpha.extensions.git/coord-err (git.clj:44).
Library io.github.seancorfield/deps-new has invalid tag: v0.4.9

Are you using the distrobox export feature?

I am

That is what is making it require extra quoting

but running the command inside the container has the same resoult

How are you running it inside the container? Launching a shell in the container and typing it in?

yes

distrobox-enter clojure where clojure is the name of the container

so from inside the container, with the escape, it returns this, Key is missing value: new

maybe I should nuke the container and start fresh

Try removing the export

now it works, weird

maybe the full path of the clojure bin should be specified when running it
