How to list dependencies for an alias?

Assume I have this config.edn:

{:deps {org.clojure/clojure {:mvn/version "1.11.1"}}
 :aliases {:dev {:extra-deps {org.clojure/tools.namespace {:mvn/version "1.3.0"}}}}}

How can I list dependencies in a way that extra-deps from dev alias are included too?

$ clj -X:dev:deps list
org.clojure/clojure 1.11.1  (EPL-1.0)
org.clojure/core.specs.alpha 0.2.62  (EPL-1.0)
org.clojure/spec.alpha 0.3.218  (EPL-1.0)
Solution

  • If you run clj -X:deps help/doc and scroll to the clojure.tools.cli.api/list function, you'll see that it supports an extra :aliases argument.

    So you can use something like clj -X:deps list :aliases '[:dev]'.
