Clojurians Log v2

Thanks @borkdude the usage looks very nice; I am not very familiar with Babashka though so how do I use this script? I place it in a folder somewhere or need to execute the script on the commandline before I can use it?

@flyingpython You must install babashka first e.g. using #scoop

And then you can execute the script with bb new.clj

if you want to execute it globally you can make a .bat script out of it with this "shebang": https://github.com/borkdude/deps.clj/blob/master/deps.bat#L1-L7 so you can then rename it to new.bat and place it somewhere on your path

and then you can run C:\Foo> new anywhere

OK thanks borkdude, I have some great options now to make these templates pain-free 🙂

I fail to get clojure to work. ps1 module or scoop, I get the same result. Installation seems to get done, but running clj I get

Error: Could not find or load main class clojure.main

(Tried all three installation options for the PS module.)

@pez Just checking: are you sure you didn’t have a clj script on your path before, i.e., a non-official clj?

(what does running clojure produce?)

Running clojure produces:

Error: Could not find or load main class clojure.main
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: clojure.main

what does clojure --version produce

Clojure CLI version 1.10.3.822

that looks good

is this still with your user with the space in it?

Yes, that user.

might be related? try a user without space?

Doing it.

But it won’t help me, because I need it t work with the user with space in order to have the environment where the thing I am investigating happens.

yes, but narrowing down the issue helps probably?

Oh, yes, I said, I’m doing it. 😃

does this mean: it works, or I'm going to try? just trying to narrow down the meaning ;)

It means I’m trying with the non-space user.

clojure works then.

ok, so now we need to figure out if it's the powershell script or something in tools.deps or both

if it's in tools.deps, this might explain why you get it with both the official clojure and deps.clj

lein works in both environments

yeah, but lein doesn't use tools.deps

I’m just sayin’ 😃

the error sounds like it is a bad command to Java, which leads me to strongly suspect something in the powershell

cmd-clj has the same problem. But that doesn’t mean it is not something in the powershell of course.

fwiw there is a similar error in deps.clj (the unofficial one) but we still haven't nailed it down. I can't reproduce it with a Windows user with a space

what is cmd-clj?

not sure if like this needs some escaping around $ToolsCp ?

& $JavaCmd -classpath $ToolsCp clojure.main -m clojure.tools.deps.alpha.script.make-classpath2 --config-user $ConfigUser --config-project $ConfigProject --basis-file $BasisFile --libs-file $LibsFile --cp-file $CpFile --jvm-file $JvmFile --main-file $MainFile @ToolsArgs

or even in $JavaCmd

or well... all of those file args

The deps.clj problem is what I am trying to nail down. But running deps.clj in dev with lein just gives me a sweet Clojure prompt…

@pez what if you execute the deps.bat script?

and are you on the master branch?

Yes, on master branch. Will try the deps.bat scrit now.

deps.bat gives me back the shell prompt after a short delay. Nothing else.

@alexmiller, I’m not following about the escaping.

For context: On some windows machines deps.clj fails if the user’s home directory has spaces in it. I bought a PC to try investigate it and had some luck there because it happens on that PC. It does not happen on @borkdude’s machine, using the same user name as I am trying with. When trying to narrow it down I want to run deps.clj in dev, and then ran into this problem with not being able to run clojure. Both deps.clj and clojure works on the machine for a username w/o spaces in it.

> what is cmd-clj? It’s a command installed together with clojure and clj for running clj from cmd.exe.

@pez any luck with deps.bat ?

It just returns the PS prompt.

how are you running it?

@pez it needs babashka to run. does bb work in your PS?
