List SHA if version tag not available in clj -Ttools list

Question

If I install a clojure tool with a git SHA, in contrast to using a git tag, and then I do clj -Ttools list, the Version column in the output is empty. It would be helpful if the SHA is displayed in the case where there is no version tag.

Answer 1

Good call, added in v0.2.1 3523d8b of tools.tools, will include in next Clojure CLI release.

Answer 2

A SHA can exist on any branch and they aren't ordered in any useful sense. How would the Clojure CLI know what SHA to suggest?

Comments

Yeah.  Would not be useful for clj -X:deps find-versions.

But would be helpful for clj -Ttools list (for the SHA of the tool currently installed, if there was no version tag).

Good point, since this isn't about discovery!
