Clojurians Log v2

This is why I often have both a :test and a :runner alias. It's also why I have a :no-main alias in my user deps.edn: https://github.com/seancorfield/dot-clojure/blob/develop/deps.edn#L37-L39

I was just going to type:

Adding an alias :clear-main {:main-opts []} would solve it but this feels a bit like CSS ;)

clj -M:build:test:sci:demo:no-main -m shadow.cljs.devtools.cli watch viewers

Does -X also work like this? if :test has an exec-fn but :demo hasn't, does it still pick the exec-fn from :test? I thought I'd seen different behavior before but could be wrong

:exec-fn is last-one-wins since that option in merge'd

right, I guess it's just merging all the things then

But if you have :test set up to work with -X (only) then you can safely use -M:test without getting stray main opts.

yeah

FWIW I'm open to adding a shadow-cljs "entry" that works with -X, as in takes a map instead of the standard command line arguments

but not really related to the question I guess 😉

Yeah not a big issue, the issue is more general than shadow. I think if -A did nothing more than add a bunch of deps to the classpath, this would be what I used

@alexmiller Maybe when we get to Clojure 1.13, we can have a CLI 1.13.0.xxxx that finally drops :main-opts from -A so it can be used as above? 🙂

That would be great

(that would be a tools.deps change I believe?)

yes, just a tools.deps change, not a clojure change

Well, the CLI needs an update to include that tools.deps change since it's a bundled uberjar, right?

yes, with clojure I mean the language. with tools.deps I roughly meant the CLI + tools.deps

Right, I just meant that it seems like a change that would be unlikely to be made in a 1.12.1.xxxx version since it's a "big" change (and potentially breaking people's workflows if they've been ignoring the deprecation warning). Hence thinking 1.13.0.yyyy would be a good time to make the change.
