You can use -Sverbose to print your path info to see where it’s looking

But I think here you’re just seeing a confusing error as all repos are checked but it only reports the last failure

I would ask in #datomic and they can help diagnose there

Thank you! I used Sverbose, that's how I fixed my first error and corrected the user deps location. But obviously Clj still does not see all I expect it to see. Locally if I try to remove settings.xml then I get som 4xx error, which I do not see here. So what else could be wrong? Good to know at least that Clj might be trying the correct repo.

Update: instead of relying on config in the user deps file, when I specify the :mvn/repo on CLI via - Sdeps then it works. So it really looks like somehow it is not seeing the file content...

What does verbose print when it’s not working?

Hi Alex, I am sorry, I did not see your question. As far as I remember, verbose printed the path of the file that I was writing. I suspect there is something weird with the GH Action environment / the particular actions I use for this. Anyway I have a working workaround and ton of other stuff to do 😭 so I am closing the lid on this. Thank you for your help!

you could use :git/tag "HEAD" but before starting the repl execute from the project root directory clj -X:deps resolve-git-tags to add explicit :git/sha for every dependency that declares :git/tag

Hmm, getting this.

clj -X:deps resolve-git-tags
Namespace clojure.tools.cli.api loaded but function not found: resolve-git-tags

Ahh, it’s git-resolve-tags https://clojure.org/reference/deps_and_cli#_other_programs

Requests can be made at https://ask.clojure.org but I can tell you in advance that this is intentionally not supported

Ok, thanks for the feedback. Do you know the rationale, off the top of your head?

If you want to “follow along” to a dep, it is better to check out the repo locally and use a :local/root dep

Fair enough. Thanks for the backgrounder 👏:skin-tone-5:

We want git deps to be fixed references to unambiguous commit points (shas)

how do you know it is waiting for interactive input?

It hangs, and then I can type things, and then the JSON parser parses what I type

> gc .\game-data.json | clojure -M .\scripts\wager_returns.clj
I waited a good ten seconds and then typed this
Execution error at clojure.data.json/-read (json.clj:364).
JSON error (unexpected character): I

sounds like '|' is the issue, I don't use PS, but if I recall, it doesn't pipe things based on raw byte streams, but instead can pass structured data

so maybe the output of gc is being passed via some structured data thing using |, but clojure is trying to read from stdin

Yeah, that was my thinking. But afaict gc (short for get-content, roughly equivalent to cat) does indeed pipe text. Might still be structured in some way though.

Though this SO answer seems to suggest I'm doing it right https://stackoverflow.com/a/11788475

https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell/issues/9497#issuecomment-1246179450 sounds like what you are seeing, but with python

I'm not sure about that – looks like they're trying to pipe into a PS script.

clojure is maybe a ps script?

hm, good point, it might be

Can you restate the problem?

In a nutshell, the CLI on Powershell can't read piped input
