tools-deps
Is there any way to import a dependency with type pom? E.g. with lein, it would be [org.graalvm.polyglot/js "24.1.1" :extension "pom"]
currently, no
but you can import the poms dependencies instead
Hi Alex, thanks! What do you mean by import poms dependencies?
that pom depends on other deps, and you can just import those directly instead
Ah, like, find those which are having this one as a dependency and import them?
yeah - if you go to https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.graalvm.js/js/24.1.1 you can see that this pom just depends on two other deps
Got it, will try! 👍
this is an area I've spent some time on adding support for tools.deps, still thinking about some details of it
I see! So you've considered adding support for type pom, but something was not so smooth about the potential implementation?
yes, there's a patch at https://clojure.atlassian.net/browse/TDEPS-202 but it got me thinking about the more general issue of composites and how we could support that in deps.edn as well
hoping to move that forward soon
Thanks, will take a look!
I released a new tools.deps and a developer (non-stable) release of the CLI using it yesterday - 1.12.0.1495. This release represents a big chunk of long overdue refactoring in how the CLI calculates the classpath, especially with regard to tools. There are really 3 parts to the CLI implementation: 1. the bash script (or deps.clj port for Windows users) which calls ... 2. the make-classpath2 main which uses the lib ... 3. tools.deps - previously focused on calc-basis, now on create-basis as the primary entry point make-classpath2 is the chunk of Clojure code that knows both the CLI context (where files and caches and dirs are, etc) and then calls the much cleaner entry point in tools.deps. A lot of the tools.deps entry point was reworked a couple years ago from https://clojure.github.io/tools.deps/#clojure.tools.deps/calc-basis into https://clojure.github.io/tools.deps/#clojure.tools.deps/create-basis (which is used by all the -X:deps programs for example). At that time, there was a lot of cruft esp around tools and so make-classpath2 was never updated (and duplicated a lot of create-basis). All that has now been collapsed and various hacks and duplication were removed. The end result should hopefully be no visible change in behavior there is some new code involved, particularly for tool invocation (-T). I've tested lots of stuff, but would be happy for some more eyes on it, especially if you do a lot of clj -T stuff.
I've bumped it at least in deps.clj and bb itself (which runs a lot of integration tests with existing projects) and so far no problems
