The following


clojure -m cljs.main -co '{:npm-deps {"slate" "0.33.6"} :install-deps true}' -e "(require 'slate)"


generates the following exception


Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: /Users/mfikes/node_modules/immutable/dist/immutable.js is not a relative path

Answer 1

Comment made by: mfikes

This failure was evidently related to the fact that I had a {{node_modules}} directory sitting in my home directory. Removing it caused the issue above to go away.

Perhaps this is the result of the processing marching outward (I was in a subdirectory of my home directory). If this is a possibility, maybe the ClojureScript compiler can itself handle this corner case? (Or is this just a user error?)
