boot-cljs-repl pollutes project directory

[domkm]

boot-cljs-repl is polluting my project directory by compiling to "out/" instead of "target/*".

(deftask dev []
  (comp
   (watch :verbose true)
   (speak)
   (reload :asset-path "public"
           :on-jsload 'my.project/restart!)
   (cljs-repl)
   (cljs :optimization :none
         :source-map true
         :compiler-options {:verbose true})
   (repl :server true)))

When I connect to the nREPL server and type (start-repl) to start the CLJS REPL, an "out/" directory is created.

Thanks for the report @DomKM. I can reproduce this with 0.2.0.

I assume it might be an issue with weasel?

[pandeiro]

I think Weasel exposes what's necessary but boot-cljs-repl does not try to set :output-dir and doesn't expose it as a task option :output-dir to pass on, either.

I am working on a fix for this locally and would be glad to contribute the change back. I'll test it and report back soon.

EDIT: I think I may be wrong about Weasel. It exposes this function, used by boot-cljs-repl: https://github.com/tomjakubowski/weasel/blob/master/src/clj/weasel/repl/websocket.clj#L32-L38. I've tried to use it to pass in an :output-dir option here: https://github.com/pandeiro/boot-cljs-repl/commit/a7a5d5f73aaf33e82ed9488429ba363a4ca19c0f . Still when I try using this updated version and specifying :output-dir in cljs-repl, the out dir is still created.

I tried setting output-dir to Boot-cljs tmp-dir which I think would be the correct value, but didn't have success. The repl kept creating out dir.

seems like for now on 0.4.0-SNAPSHOT, this works:

(task-options!
  start-repl {:cljs-repl-opts {:output-dir "target/public/main.out"}})
