:main-opts not used for docker?

[brianium]

First of all, thank you so much for working on great high quality tools and sharing them with the rest of us 🙇🏻 .

I think my ignorance is showing with regard to the world of clojure cli tools.

Prior to the rewrite I would build a docker image like so:

$ clojure -A:pack mach.pack.alpha.jib \
  --image-name my-image-name \
  --image-type registry \
  --additional-tag latest \
  --extra-java-args -Xmx6g \
   -e path/to/classes \
   -m my.cool.app

Where path/to/classes was created via aot compiling my app

I am having trouble understanding the new way to do this using as a tool:

$ clojure -T:pack docker \
  :basis '{:extra-paths ["classes"] :jvm-opts ["-Xmx2g"] :main-opts ["-m" "my.cool.app"]}' \
  :tags '#{"latest"}' \
  :to-registry "{:username \"user\" :password \"secret\"}" \
  :image-name '"my-image-name"' \
  :image-type :registry

I am able to get my image to my desired registry, but when it runs it just opens a repl and then closes - leading me to believe I have something configured incorrectly (particularly with regard to the main opts).

Can someone point me towards my error? I appreciate any help 🙇🏻

So after reading the tools docs, I found you can specify aliases for tools as part of -T.

If I create a container with -T and an alias that has some :main-opts the :main-opts appear to be ignored.

{:aliases
  {:main {:extra-paths ["classes"] ;; aot compiled classes
          :main-opts ["-m" "my.cool.app"}}}

Then

$ clojure -T:pack:main docker...

Just running the container does not seem to work (using docker run myimage). However, if I run the container and provide main opts manually, everything is ok:

$ docker run myimage -m my.cool.app

Am I using :main-opts incorrectly? Have I found a bug?

Curious about this line here

The api docs for clojure.tools.deps.alpha make it seem like main-opts isn't present on classpath-args?

You're right, this isn't officially supported but does happen to work. In the future, there will be an official tdeps API for this.

I believe you need to include :aliases in the basis, see params here: https://github.com/clojure/tools.deps.alpha/blob/f96c0baae1a07ab1c0f914d7baea8c8de2e427eb/src/main/clojure/clojure/tools/deps/alpha.clj#L785

So it would be :aliases [:main] for you.

Forgot to respond to this. Thank you so much for the response and the work you do on this 🙇🏻
