NoClassDefFoundError: clout/core/CompiledRoute with Compjure, Liberator and Ring (possibly)

Hi!

I am honestly out of ideas and I need help. Trying to start uberjar of my little program causes following stacktrace:

lein run and lein repl works just fine. I’ve tried to replicate it with different project, but without any success.

I don’t know what can be helpful, so I’d post some possibly important things (sorry for some obfuscation, but I can’t share it as-is):

I see no clue here. Do you have any ideas?

To me it looks like your user.clj somehow ended up in your uberjar. I’m not sure that is related though. You might also check using lein deps :tree whether clout is actually a dependency in your system, or if two of your declared dependencies are using conflicting versions of clout.

I’m sorry I cannot be of more help, I do not have access to my computer.

Yes! Removing user.clj resolved the issue!

Now, why it is getting included?

Followup:

So indeed user.clj got compiled:

$ lein uberjar       
[main] INFO org.eclipse.jetty.util.log - Logging initialized @8229ms                                                                                                                                               
Compiling user
(...)

Deleting user.clj works around this issue - but that seems bad.

So I tried tried this in project.clj:

  :profiles {:uberjar {:aot [#"mysoftwared\..*"]}

as expected, user is no longer reported as being compiled by lein uberjar but… trying to start this jar file still crashes. That’s weird!

EDIT: Things are getting ever weirder:
Renaming (file and namespace) user to dev also workrounds the problem… After that, there’s obvious:

$ lein uberjar; java -jar /home/otwieracz/Work/cyberrr/hermes/hermesd/target/uberjar/hermesd-0.1.0-SNAPSHOT-standalone.jar -h                                                 
Compiling dev
(...)

but uberjar loads just fine.

Clojure uses the user.clj file, if it is on the classpath, to do some initialization of the user namespace. Usually you do not want user.clj to be on the classpath of deployment artifacts.

Without knowing the exact shape and placement of the user.clj in your project, I am guessing it is placed in src/user.clj. I would suggest that you move it to dev/user.clj, and modify the source paths of you :dev profile to point to dev/ as well as src/.

If I may make another suggestion: For clarity I think you should add a top-level :source-paths key that just includes src/, even though that is the default.
