lein deploy fails, not getting prompted for password/deploy token

[simon-brooke]

Hi, I've been trying to deploy a release, and am getting problems with lein deploy (full error output below).

Briefly:

• I have created deploy tokens (and disabled them again when the deploy had failed;
• I have changed my password at Clojars, and edited and re-encrypted my ~/.lein/credentials.clj;
• I have updated leiningen to the latest available from Homebrew, Leiningen 2.9.8 on Java 1.8.0_161 GraalVM 1.0.0-rc1.

when I run lein deploy clojars, my deploy artefacts get built, signed and despatched. I am not prompted for my username; I am not prompted for a password; I am not prompted for a deploy token. The deployment fails with a 401 Unauthorised error.

Do I need to delete my ~/.lein/credentials.clj.gpg?

Hi @simon-brooke:

To deploy to Clojars, you have to use your username as the username, and a deploy token as the password. If you have an entry for Clojars in credentials.clj.gpg and have :creds :gpg set for Clojars in your project.clj or ~/.lein/profiles.clj, lein will use that an not prompt, so that entry has to be your username and deploy-token-as-password.

If you remove :creds :gpg from whatever place you have it set, lein should ignore your credentials file and prompt.

The 401 Unauthorized - a deploy token is required to deploy. from Clojars indicates that it is getting a password value, but it isn't the correct shape to be a deploy token.

Thank you for your very fast and helpful response.

I didn't in fact have :creds :gpg set anywhere, but I do have :signing {:gpg-key "[redacted]"} set in my .lein/profiles.clj; I also had my Clojars credentials in .lein/credentials.clj.gpg. I backed up and deleted the credentials file, and tried lein deploy; this worked.
