Jetty Conflicts

This should be fixed if you upgrade to figwheel-main 0.2.1-SNAPSHOT or later.

Moving to Jetty means that Figwheel is using the same server that many Clojure applications are already using. While this can be helpful in terms of consistent behavior, supporting HTTPS and minimizing dependencies, it unfortunately also leads to version conflicts because of the way Jetty is packaged. The most common conflict that folks seem to experience is when they include the Datomic Cloud client.

This also can happen if you update your version of Ring to 1.7.1.

Fixing the conflict by specifying explicit Jetty deps

Currently if I add com.datomic/client-cloud {:mvn/version "0.8.71"} to a deps.edn file along with com.bhauman/figwheel-main, trying to start a build with figwheel.main with fail with:

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/eclipse/jetty/http/HttpParser$ProxyHandler

This is due to a dependency mismatch between Jetty deps.

The most sure fire way to fix this error is to explicitly specify all the Jetty dependencies in your project and ensure they are all the same version.

In your deps.edn this would look like this:

{:deps {org.clojure/clojurescript {:mvn/version "1.10.773"}
        com.bhauman/figwheel-main {:mvn/version "0.2.16"}
		com.datomic/client-cloud {:mvn/version "0.8.71"}
	    
		;; directly specify all jetty dependencies
		;; ensure all the dependencies have the same version
		org.eclipse.jetty/jetty-server                {:mvn/version "9.4.12.v20180830"}
		org.eclipse.jetty.websocket/websocket-servlet {:mvn/version "9.4.12.v20180830"}
		org.eclipse.jetty.websocket/websocket-server  {:mvn/version "9.4.12.v20180830"}
		}}

The next time you start Figwheel the error should be gone.

Conflicts in general

You can detect these conflicts by looking at the dependency tree of your application.

Leiningen has excellent support for pointing out these conflicts.

If you are using Leiningen then you can run the lein deps :tree command.

Take some time and carefully read the output. It will print out dependency conflicts and make suggestions as to how you can fix them.

It also prints out the dependency tree that it is using, so take some time to examine that as well.

with Clojure CLI tools

Clojure CLI tools doesn't have the helpful output that Leiningen currently supplies. It can print out the dependency tree:

$ clj -S:tree
