Hey guys, I'm new here so please bear with me. I'm creating a boot script with the following content:
#!/usr/bin/boot
(defn -main
[& args]
(println "blah"))
Boot failed to start:
java.lang.NullPointerException

I installed Boot via Homebrew, so boot actually lives in /home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/bin/boot
Rex 2019-11-18T22:21:00.025800Z
but that should be fine since /usr/bin/env boot finds the first boot executable in the PATH?

fwiw, this worked for me:
#!/usr/local/bin/boot
(defn -main
[& args]
(println "blah"))
Rex 2019-11-19T23:46:57.026200Z
maybe my boot executable is just in the wrong place
2019-11-20T16:39:56.027700Z
What does which boot say?
2019-11-20T16:41:30.027900Z
Because from the output it looks like boot ran.
Rex 2019-11-21T00:48:36.028100Z
/home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew/bin/boot
Rex 2019-11-21T00:50:20.028300Z
I'm really new into this whole thing, and googling that error didn't give me any result at all
2019-11-21T15:34:30.028700Z
Uninstall boot and re-install it. Then make a new empty directory, cd into it, and run boot to see what happens.

I'm guessing that (System/getProperty "boot.app.path") is null here. https://github.com/boot-clj/boot/blob/master/boot/core/src/boot/main.clj#L113-L114
Rex 2019-11-21T22:58:20.029200Z
ok so I uninstalled linuxbrew 's boot
Rex 2019-11-21T22:58:34.029400Z
and downloaded the executable directly and put it on the PATH
Rex 2019-11-21T22:58:40.029600Z
and now it works perfectly fine
Rex 2019-11-21T22:58:43.029800Z
o.O
Rex 2019-11-21T23:01:43.030100Z
thanks for the suggestion tbl3rd 😄 I can start automating my stuff with clojure now to slowly convert people to clojurists 👀

Welcome to the party!
