https://ask.clojure.org/index.php/tag/1.12.1+regression https://ask.clojure.org/index.php/14567/is-the-ant-build-broken-in-clojure-1-12-1 <p>I have an old script that gets the Clojure source from github and calls <code>./antsetup.sh</code> and then <code>ant</code> to build and test. With Clojure 1.12.1, it fails trying to compile the recently modified SwissArmy.java. My work-around was to modify the build.xml so that the java compiler would see the build directory on the classpath. (It's likely there's a better fix. I'm no expert with ant.)</p> <blockquote><p>diff --git a/build.xml b/build.xml index 1464b69e..8ce4a961 100644<br> --- a/build.xml<br> +++ b/build.xml @@ -99,6 +99,7 @@</p> <pre><code> unless="maven.test.skip"&gt; &lt;mkdir dir="${test-classes}"/&gt; &lt;javac srcdir="${jtestsrc}" destdir="${test-classes}" includeJavaRuntime="yes" </code></pre> <ul> <li>classpath="${maven.test.classpath}:${build}"<pre><code> debug="true" source="1.8" target="1.8" includeantruntime="no"/&gt; &lt;echo&gt;Direct linking = ${directlinking}&lt;/echo&gt; &lt;java classname="clojure.lang.Compile" </code></pre> </li> </ul> </blockquote> <p>I think it's probably better to use <code>mvn test</code> in my script as I'm only making sure I can build Clojure from source. However, technically this looks like a regression and it may break some old automation. Perhaps, ant is more trouble than it's worth at this point. Up to you. I'm fine with dropping support. I just wanted to point out the issue so you were aware of it.</p> Compiler https://ask.clojure.org/index.php/14567/is-the-ant-build-broken-in-clojure-1-12-1 Tue, 03 Jun 2025 14:26:14 +0000
