Getting started with Datomic and Clojure in Emacs


My project.clj file looks like this

(defproject cljs-template "0.1.0-SNAPSHOT"
  :description "FIXME: write this!"
  :url "http://example.com/FIXME"
  :dependencies [[org.clojure/clojure "1.4.0-beta4"]
                 [noir-cljs "0.3.0"]
                 [fetch "0.1.0-alpha2"]
                 [noir "1.3.0-beta2"]
                 [org.clojure/core.cache "0.5.0"]
                 [com.datomic/datomic "0.1.3142"
                  :exclusions [org.slf4j/slf4j-nop org.slf4j/slf4j-log4j12]]
                 [ch.qos.logback/logback-classic "1.0.1"]]
  :plugins [[lein-swank "1.4.3"]]
  ;:cljsbuild {:builds [{}]}
  :main ^{:skip-aot true} cljs-template.server)

and my /src/cljs_template/server.clj begins as the following:

(ns cljs-template.server
  (:require [noir.server :as server]
            [noir.cljs.core :as cljs]
            [cljs-template.tree :as tree])
  (:use [datomic.api :only [db q] :as d]))

I then start up swank, run (in-ns 'cljs-template.server) within it, move my cursor to the end of the (ns) function call, and attempt to run the (ns) method using Ctrl-x Ctrl-e. When I do so, I get the following error.

No message.

What am I doing wrong? How do I get datomic working in my emacs using swank/slime.


Solution

  • Turns out I was executing the wrong command.

    I was running lein deps and getting the following error.

    ...
    Try downloading the file manually from the project website.
    
      Then, install it using the command: 
          mvn install:install-file -DgroupId=com.datomic -DartifactId=datomic -Dversion=0.1.3157 -Dpackaging=jar -Dfile=/path/to/file
    
      Alternatively, if you host your own repository you can deploy the file there: 
          mvn deploy:deploy-file -DgroupId=com.datomic -DartifactId=datomic -Dversion=0.1.3157 -Dpackaging=jar -Dfile=/path/to/file -Durl=[url] -DrepositoryId=[id]
    
      Path to dependency: 
        1) org.apache.maven:super-pom:pom:2.0
        2) com.datomic:datomic:jar:0.1.3157
    

    I saw that the README file in the downloaded datomic code also contained mention of adding datomic to my mvn. Naturally (here comes the stupid part) I assumed that they sort of said the same thing.

    lein will tell you that you should execute

    mvn install:install-file -DgroupId=com.datomic -DartifactId=datomic -Dversion=0.1.3157 -Dpackaging=jar -Dfile=/path/to/file
    

    the README says you should execute

    mvn install:install-file -DgroupId=com.datomic -DartifactId=datomic -Dfile=datomic-${DATOMIC-VERSION}.jar -DpomFile=pom.xml
    

    Did you notice that the README instructions also includes a pom.xml file? Neither did I! Yeah, that is important.

    Anyway, be sure to also include the pom.xml file. If you were trying to add datomic 0.1.3157 to your mvn repository, you would execute the following in the datomic directory you downloaded.

    mvn install:install-file -DgroupId=com.datomic -DartifactId=datomic -Dfile=datomic-0.1.3157.jar -DpomFile=pom.xml
