Today I learned that the cli by default will use :paths ["src"] if there's none specified, and also has :aliases {:test {:extra-paths ["test"]}} - is this documented behavior? I was unable to find this mentioned in any docs so far.

That's what is in the root deps.edn.

Yep, I found that, but it surprised me that that's the default config

https://clojure.org/reference/clojure_cli#deps covers this a bit under root deps but could probably be more exlicit

Yes that's where I was pointing, hard to grab the right anchor on the phone

thanks. Are PRs still accepted there?

Yes, pr at clojure-site is fine

> aliases {:test {:extra-paths ["test"]}} since when?

lol, I guess I never knew that one since I mostly use :test to actually run tests

yeah it was a TIL moment for me too
