Dependencies in script mode

[skynet-gh]

Using lumo 1.8.0-beta

$ lumo --version
1.8.0-beta

I have a utility script that I've been executing directly with the shebang functionality. However, I want to start using tools.cli to parse script parameters. I tried just adding the :require but of course it doesn't work:

#!/usr/bin/env lumo
(ns my.script
  (:require
    [clojure.tools.cli :refer [parse-opts]]))

(println "hello world")

Now when I try to run the script I get

$ ./script.cljs 
No such namespace: cljs.tools.cli, could not locate cljs/tools/cli.cljs, cljs/tools/cli.cljc, or Closure namespace "cljs.tools.cli"
	 (new)
	 Function.cljs.core.ex_info.cljs$core$IFn$_invoke$arity$3 (NO_SOURCE_FILE <embedded>:1937:200)
	 Function.cljs.analyzer.error.cljs$core$IFn$_invoke$arity$3 (NO_SOURCE_FILE <embedded>:2484:92)
	 Function.cljs.analyzer.error.cljs$core$IFn$_invoke$arity$2 (NO_SOURCE_FILE <embedded>:2483:92)
	 (NO_SOURCE_FILE <embedded>:5239:92)
	 Object.lumo.repl.load_other (NO_SOURCE_FILE <embedded>:6123:380)
	 lumo.repl.load (NO_SOURCE_FILE <embedded>:6127:106)
	 Function.cljs.js.require.cljs$core$IFn$_invoke$arity$5 (NO_SOURCE_FILE <embedded>:5229:528)
	 Function.cljs.js.require.cljs$core$IFn$_invoke$arity$4 (NO_SOURCE_FILE <embedded>:5223:88)
	 (NO_SOURCE_FILE <embedded>:5252:423)

I know I can run the script using

$ lumo -D org.clojure/tools.cli:0.3.5 script.cljs
hello world

Is it possible to get this working in script mode? Like a default package.clj that is read for dependencies?

Thanks!

This is a difficult problem with not so good solutions.

My personal favorite way that doesn't suck to work around this is the following:

#!/bin/sh
"exec" "lumo" "-D" "org.clojure/tools.cli:0.3.5" "$0" "$@"

;; Your code here

I think @SevereOverfl0w has also had some insight on this in the past

[arichiardi]

Also, is tools.cli bootstrap compatible?

[anmonteiro]

Yes, I've used it before

Closing as this is not a bug. Let me know if you have further questions.

@anmonteiro that shell trick is just what I was looking for, thanks!!
