Clojurians Log v2

I just use my shell history, I never have to type in a full command more than once. I have zsh (presto) with fish shell completion. A lot simpler than any other approach.

With the latest tools.deps, is it possible to use -M with --report stderr? I’m trying clojure -M:kaocha --report stderr, which used to work, and kaocha complains ‘Unknown option: “--report”’

That should work

What’s the :kaocha alias?

I mean that’s an option to clojure.main, not kaocha

The error looks like it’s coming from kaocha, I think

The alias is

{:kaocha {:extra-deps
          {lambdaisland/kaocha {:mvn/version "1.0.641"}}
          :main-opts ["-m" "kaocha.runner"]}}

kaocha shouldn’t be seeing the --report iiuc

@hugod Everything after -m gets passed to that -main function.

If you want --report to work, you need to invoke clojure.main (and have it invoke the koacha.runner)

:main-opts ["--report" "stderr" "-m" "kaocha.runner"] — try that?

Um, that’s unfortunate. Also not what clj --help implies.

Which part?

It seems like you should be able to chose a report option when running a main with -M.

I would expect: clj --report stderr -M:kaocha kaocha-args... here: everything after -M gets passed to clojure.main / the subtask, everything before gets parsed by the clojure CLI (but this is not according to the help)

or is --report an option to clojure.main as well?

oh I see, it is. yeah, I guess you can't really put stuff in between the main args in your deps.edn alias from the command line

You can also activate that property with a Java system prop, that might combine better here

-J-Dclojure.main.report=stderr

^ add to clj command line

clj -J-Dclojure.main.report=stderr -M:kaocha

ok, that looks like it works as a consistent way (over all possible invocation types) of specifying it. It would still be nice to be able to specify it somehow with --report though.

as this is probably a user preference, maybe it could be a setting in $HOME/.clojure/deps.edn?

or you could make an alias with jvm opts and combine it -M:report:kaocha ?

not sure if jvm opts concatenate when you combine aliases, do they?

Yes, they do.

:main-opts do not, most everything else does.
