Leiningen: referring to another project on local disc

[Simon Brooke]

I'm trying to reference one of my leiningen projects from another, and not succeeding. My error must be simple and obvious...

Essentially the projects 'poker' and 'testgen' are both in /home/simon/workspace, and both are standard leiningen projects using just the default project template. I've done 'lein uberjar' in testgen, so there are the following jars:

simon@engraver:~/workspace/poker$ ls -l /home/simon/workspace/testgen/target/

total 3588

drwxr-xr-x 2 simon simon    4096 Apr  2 20:04 classes

-rw-r--r-- 1 simon simon       5 Apr  6 00:06 repl-port

drwxr-xr-x 2 simon simon    4096 Apr  2 20:04 stale

-rw-r--r-- 1 simon simon   11226 Apr  6 00:10 testgen-0.1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar

-rw-r--r-- 1 simon simon 3646079 Apr  6 00:10 testgen-0.1.0-SNAPSHOT-standalone.jar

In poker/project.clj I've done the following (added lines highlighted):

(defproject poker "0.1.0-SNAPSHOT"

  :description "Poker scoring kata"

  :url "http://example.com/FIXME"

  :license {:name "Eclipse Public License"

            :url "http://www.eclipse.org/legal/epl-v10.html"}

    :repositories [["testgen" "file:///home/simon/workspace/testgen/target"]]

            :dependencies [[org.clojure/clojure "1.5.1"]

[testgen "0.1.0-SNAPSHOT"]

])

When I try to run lein repl, I get the following:

simon@engraver:~/workspace/poker$ lein repl

Could not find artifact testgen:testgen:jar:0.1.0-SNAPSHOT in clojars (https://clojars.org/repo/)

Could not find artifact testgen:testgen:jar:0.1.0-SNAPSHOT in testgen (file:///home/simon/workspace/testgen/target)

This could be due to a typo in :dependencies or network issues.

So clearly lein is failing to recognise the jar file(s) as the artefact it's looking for. What do I need to do differently? Do I need a pom file, and if so what should be in it?

Cheers

Use lein install

This command will "install" your testgen jar in your local repo folder.
This local repo is hit first when searching for a dependency before escalating
to network repos if the dependency is not found there first.

No need for a uberjar.

Or, you could make a directory called 'checkouts' inside the poker project directory, and put a symlink in there to the testgen project directory. Lein will look in the checkouts directory before it looks to any repository. See  here:

https://github.com/technomancy/leiningen/blob/master/doc/TUTORIAL.md#checkout-dependencies

This way is nice if you're going to work on both projects in parallel as you don't need to run lein install every time you change testgen.

That's neat.  I didn't know you could do that.  Thanks

[Simon Brooke]

Many thanks. This solutions worked for me. I note that it also auto-builds a pom.xml!
