Is there any way to add local repositories as dependencies? about boot HOT 7 CLOSED

If you're looking for something similar to Leiningen's checkouts I recommend to try running the following in the local project you'd like to add as dependency.

boot watch build-jar

This will watch your local project for changes and install a new jar whenever something changed.
The build-jar task is not a default boot task but comes from boot-useful. If you don't have that in your build.boot already you can also simply define it yourself:

(deftask build-jar
  "Build jar and install to local repo."
  []
  (comp (pom) (add-src) (jar) (install)))

from boot.

Ok sweet, & how do i include the resulting local maven repository?

Thank you,

The install task will install the resulting jar into your local maven repository.
(The install task is called at the end of build-jar.)

I guess my question is how will my build.boot's dependencies list look for a local maven repository once installed?

from boot.

@leblowl definitely, yes - boot uses pomegranate for all things Maven, and pomegranate considers the local Maven repository (usually at ~/.m2/repository) before looking anywhere else, by default.

So, if you install some library locally, then start boot, boot will find the library locally.

Are you observing behavior that suggests otherwise, or is this otherwise not a satisfying answer?

@alandipert perfect answer, thank you!

Cool, glad to help! Just a PSA, leiningen-core also depends on pomegranate, so in general you should expect the same behavior around Maven from boot that you would from Leiningen.
