Files in deps :local/root :git/url will directly copy into uberjar without go through conflict-handlers

Question

https://github.com/clojure/tools.build/blob/1309f935b098123eb807c972a053eeab77f6f4cd/src/main/clojure/clojure/tools/build/tasks/uber.clj#L172

The handling between jar and lib folders like git deps or local root are completely different. In my case, I have some config files in edn format (duct's duct_hierarchy.edn) exists in both jar deps and git deps. My additional conflict handler is never receiving the edn file that exists in git deps.

Is it the expected behaviour? I can imagine that even LICENSE or data_readers.clj would suffer the same issue. e.g. being overrided by files in git deps.

Answer 2

In particular, it would be helpful if the same :conflict-handlers functionality were provided in clojure.tools.build.api/copy-dir

Answer 3

Agreed that these should be the same handling, just an oversight.
