deps.edn :paths for mixed project?

[dimitris]

Hi all,

I must be missing something big, as I seem unable to use deps.edn and
the new `clj` CLI tool in a mixed clojure/java project. Suppose i have
the following dummy directory structure:

- src

--clojure (source-path)

--- FOO (package)

---- (FOO.ns1.clj)

---- (FOO.ns2.clj)

---- etc

-- java (soure-path)

--- BAR (package)

---- BAR.xxx.java

---- BAR.yyy.java

---- etc


In leiningen i can simply specify :source-paths [ "src/clojure"], &
:java-source-paths ["src/java"] and everything works as expected. What
am I expected to do to achieve the same thing with deps.edn? I tried
putting both of those under `:paths` but that didn't work
(java.lang.ClassNotFoundException) when trying to test (clj -Atest).

Kind regards,

Dimitris

clj is not a build tool, only a pure Clojure runner, so without something additional to do Java compilation, you can’t use it in a mixed source project.

If you did use a build tool to compile the Java source to classes, you could include the output classes directory for the Java code on your deps.edn paths to use clj.
