Injecting app version with tools.deps?

[mvarela]

I would like to automatically inject a git-based (e.g., tag + commit) version identifier (for example, under resources/version.edn) when building a jar, so I can use it e.g., when logging.

I know there are some lein plugins (e.g, lein-v) that can do something like this, but I haven’t found any tools.deps equivalents. I guess it’d be easy enough to hack something together that does this, but if there’s an existing solution, I’d be happy to adopt it.

Any suggestions?

If you’re using git, have look at https://github.com/jgrodziski/metav

[dimovich]

in my build script I have this:

echo "updating version string..."
sed -i -re "s/build \{\{BUILD\}\}/build $(git rev-parse --short HEAD)/g" src/clj/foo/bar.clj

## ... build code

echo "reverting version string..."
sed -i -re "s/build [a-zA-Z0-9_]+/build \{\{BUILD\}\}/g" src/clj/foo/bar.clj

and in the src/clj/foo/bar.clj you have sth like:

(def version "build {{BUILD}}")

Thanks! I’ll have a lookg at this, it seems to do pretty much what I need.
In the meantime, I came up with a short bash script that does something similar to what @dimovich does, and run that on a post-commit hook, generating a .gitignored version file.

I’d rather just use a .edn file in resources where the git revision is dumped into.

[mvarela]

That’s what I ended up with.

#!/usr/bin/env bash
set -euo pipefail

APP_NAME='"MyApp"'
TAG="`git tag | head -n1 | awk '{print $1}'`"
COMMIT="`git rev-parse --short HEAD`"
COMMIT_COUNT=`git rev-list --all --count`

echo "{"
echo ":app/name $APP_NAME"
echo ":git/tag \"$TAG\""
echo ":git/commit \"$COMMIT\""
echo ":git/commit-count $COMMIT_COUNT"
echo "}"

And this is called by a post-commit hook, with output redirected to resources/version.edn (which is not under version control, otherwise you always get a dirty repo)
