Is this expected to not work?
$ clj -Sdeps '{:deps {io.github.IGJoshua/coffi {:git/sha "917141b6a2cea4f4c556f5a54c51c5688c5b5590"}}}' -X:deps prep
Error building classpath. The following libs must be prepared before use: [io.github.IGJoshua/coffi]
Although what you posted seems like the "normal behavior" I think
You should be able to use :force flag to force prep too
This isn't specific to coffi. My question more specifically is about the combination of -Sdeps and prep:
$ clj -Sdeps '{:deps {http-kit/http-kit {:git/url "" :git/sha "48b6206516fe6c4856ab0cccf69daf22678ff0cb"}}}' -X:deps prep
Error building classpath. The following libs must be prepared before use: [http-kit/http-kit] Ah, right - no it should not work. When calling -X:deps prep you need to pass any extra deps via :extra arg
-Sdeps is added for running the prep program but that’s not what you mean here, presumably you want that in the basis prep creates
Ah got it. Where I came from: I wanted tools deps to download a git dep, just to see what files ended up on my machine, but I had to go through the prep hoop
Generally true for all the :deps programs that create a basis, like tree etc
I wasn't interested in creating a project with this dep, this is why I tried it with Sdeps
I was going to make an http://ask.clojure.org question about this, but i actually cannot think of the terms to google so i’m gonna ask here instead. I often want to use the function that lists the documentation for functions but I can never remember it’s syntax or even it’s name. It’s something like clj -X:deps help/fn :fn foo or something like that. I always check clj --help but it’s not listed in there, so I google it and hope to stumble on it. But it’s very close to generic “help me” terms so it takes me a while to find it. Would it be possible to get this added to clj --help? I’ll make a request on http://ask.clojure.org once i can remember the name of it
context: i want to list the deps in our project in edn format. I know from searching slack that the invocation is clj -X:deps list :aliases '[:ee :drivers]' :license :full, but I don’t know how to change the output. And I’d love to check it’s documentation, but I need documentation on checking documentation 🙂
I would actually instead like to do the work to make it easier in the first place (and document that) and that is on my radar behind some other things
that sounds great. glad to know this is on your radar
for the :deps programs, https://clojure.github.io/tools.deps.cli can also help (and this is linked in the docs at least)
