Lein uberjar runs repl, not my application


I have a Clojure/Ring/Clojurescript project that I deploy with lein uberjar, then launch it with java -jar whatever-0.1-standalone.jar. Until recently, it was working fine.

Now when I launch it, I'm presented with a REPL, like this;

Clojure 1.7.0 user=>

Thinking it must be something in my code base, I've reverted (with git) to a state I know used to work, but the problem still occurs.

As the problem's not in my codebase, I tried an older version of leiningen - still no luck.

Here's my project.clj:

Solution

  • Are you sure you were actually building the jar with lein uberjar before, when it was working? You have no main namespace, instead depending on the lein-ring plugin to fabricate one for you, which means you should be running lein ring uberjar instead.
