Should the following work?
{:deps {my.monorepo/foo {:local/root "../monorepo" :deps/root "subprojects/foo"}}}
It doesn't look like it does but reading https://clojure.org/reference/deps_and_cli I'm not sure whether it should.It doesn't look like it does. I'm mucking about with a project referencing libs from a monorepo and temporarily changed the references in the project to a local copy of the monorepo and hoped it would work.
From the doc: Common coordinate attributes (all optional): ... :deps/root - relative directory path within a file based dep to search for the manifest file
And: Local project attributes: :local/root (required) - directory path (will auto detect whether a deps or pom project, also see :deps/manifest)
Reading the above, local/root can qualify as a file based dep, which to me implies that deps/root should work as it isn't stated otherwise
But it's quite possible that I'm missing something
Thanks for the Qs, Sean, I was watching the conj as I wrote this yesterday and couldn't fully concentrate 😅
Ah, yes... now I think about this, I've run into the same thing when I've been working with Polylith locally, and my test runner. :local/root is the full path to the folder containing deps.edn and tools.deps ignores :deps/root in that case.
Might be worth posting something on Ask about it -- it would make life easier, switching between local and git deps when developing a library or tool.
Yeah that's what I was thinking
But wanted to check here first
Perhaps it's intended
But I'll open an ask later
And by work, I mean the deps.edn that my.monorepo/foo is going to point to will be at "../monorepo/subprojects/foo/deps.edn"
Does it work? What in the documentation makes you think it shouldn't work?
I've never used :deps/root with :local/root, only with git deps so those are honest questions.
Opened an ask at https://ask.clojure.org/index.php/12913/using-deps-root-with-local-root in case people want to check it out.
