[SOLVED] Can't execute main function 'run' with clojure cli tools

Can't execute main function 'run' with clojure cli tools - Deps and CLI Guide

I am doing the clojure cli tutorial from the official clojure site https://clojure.org/guides/deps_and_cli, but I come across this message when I want to run the following: $ clj -X hello/run

Execution error (FileNotFoundException) at java.io.FileInputStream/open0 (FileInputStream.
-X (El sistema no puede encontrar el archivo especificado)

Full report at:
C:\Users\usuario\AppData\Local\Temp\clojure-16611030546441487090.edn

I suppose that the command must be executed in the root folder, but just in case I also did it inside src.

The .edn error file is the following:

 "Execution error (FileNotFoundException) at java.io.FileInputStream/open0 (FileInputStream.java:-2).\r\n-X (El sistema no puede encontrar el archivo especificado)\r\n",
 :clojure.main/triage

Clojure version: Clojure 1.10.1

It frustrates me not being able to do something so simple.

--EDIT: I ran 'clojure -Sdescribe' and the version was 1.10.1.492 so I installed the lastest version as Alex said and it goes right, but then I ran again 'describe' and the version didn't change.

I got this:

Solution

The -X functionality was added in the latest version of the Clojure tools (1.10.1.697). From the error message, it looks to me like this is an older version. Can you check with clojure -Sdescribe what version you have?

You can find installation instructions and link to the latest at https://github.com/clojure/tools.deps.alpha/wiki/clj-on-Windows
