Boot and Optimus (clj-v8) cause `java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError`

When using Optimus with Boot, I get this error:

clojure.lang.Compiler$CompilerException: java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: Native Library /private/var/folders/t2/kbjbdrwd5dzf_hh9gjfnz_b00000gn/T/libv8.dylib.clj-v8 already loaded in another classloader, compiling:(v8/core.clj:36:1)

How close are we to moving from clj-v8 to Nashorn? Is this fixable before the move?

I know @arbscht has been trying to get a patch into clj-v8 so we can do a smooth transition to Nashorn, instead of breaking compatibility with older Java versions, but it's been quiet on that front for a while. See #14.

Work on moving to Nashorn via JSR-223 is in progress again at #14.

Meanwhile, I'd like to see if this can be fixed in the short-term too. Can you provide steps to reproduce the error? (I'm not familiar enough with Boot just yet.)

Sure thing, @arbscht.

  1. Install Boot
  2. Run boot -d optimus repl
  3. Run (require 'optimus.optimizations.minify)
  4. Run (require 'optimus.optimizations.minify :reload-all)

@domkm, this looks like a bug in clj-v8. I've proposed a PR at circleci/clj-v8#15. If you can install from source, see if that works for you.

The underlying problem seems to be that native libraries must not be loaded twice in a JVM, but clj-v8 happens to eagerly (re-)load its native objects.

Now, I don't know which is more likely to land first: a new clj-v8 release or a Nashorn-capable Optimus… 😄

+1 has a fixed been applied?
