lambdaisland.classpath — com.lambdaisland/classpath 0.4.44

app-loader clj

(app-loader)

Get the application (aka system) classloader

base-loader clj

(base-loader)

Get the loader that Clojure uses internally to load files

This is usually the current context classloader, but can also be clojure.lang.Compiler/LOADER.

cl-id clj

(cl-id cl)

return a symbol identifying the cl, mainly meant for concise printing

cl-name clj

(cl-name cl)

Get a classloaders's defined name

classloader-chain clj

(classloader-chain)

(classloader-chain cl)

Get the chain of parent classloaders, all the way to the system AppClassLoader and PlatformClassLoader.

classpath clj

(classpath)

clojure.java.classpath does not play well with the post-Java 9 application class loader, which is no longer a URLClassLoader, even though ostensibly it tries to cater for this, but in practice if any URLClassLoader or DynamicClassLoader higher in the chain contains a non-empty list of URLs, then this shadows the system classpath.

classpath-chain clj

(classpath-chain)

(classpath-chain cl)

Return a list of classloader names, and the URLs they have on their classpath

Mainly meant for inspecting the current state of things.

classpath-directories clj

(classpath-directories)

Returns a sequence of File objects for the directories on classpath.

classpath-jarfiles clj

(classpath-jarfiles)

Returns a sequence of JarFile objects for the JAR files on classpath.

compiler-loader clj

(compiler-loader)

Get the clojure.lang.Compiler/LOADER, if set

This is the loader Clojure uses to load code with, if the var is set. If not it falls back to the context classloader.

context-classloader clj

(context-classloader)

(context-classloader thread)

Get the context classloader for the current thread

debug! clj

(debug!)

(debug! enable?)

debug-context-classloader clj macro

(debug-context-classloader thread cl)

Replace calls to .setContextClassloader with this to get insights into who/what/where/when/how is changing the classloader

debug-context-classloader* clj

(debug-context-classloader* ns meta-form thread cl)

debug? clj

(debug?)

dynamic-classloader clj

(dynamic-classloader parent)

Construct a new DynamicClassLoader

dynamic-classloader? clj

(dynamic-classloader? cl)

Is the given classloader a [[clojure.lang.DynamicClassLoader]]

ensure-trailing-slash clj

(ensure-trailing-slash path)

URLClassPath looks for a trailing slash to determine whether something is a directory instead of a jar, so add trailing slashes to everything that doesn't look like a JAR.

fg-blue clj

fg-green clj

fg-red clj

fg-reset clj

fg-yellow clj

file->ns-name clj

(file->ns-name filename)

Get the ns name for a given clj file name

find-resources clj

(find-resources regex)

Scan 'the classpath' for resources that match the given regex.

git-pull-lib clj

(git-pull-lib lib)

(git-pull-lib deps-file lib)

Update the :git/sha in deps.edn for a given library to the latest sha in a branch

Uses :git/branch defaulting to main

git-pull-lib* clj

(git-pull-lib* loc lib)

install-priority-loader! clj

(install-priority-loader!)

(install-priority-loader! paths)

Install the new priority loader as immediate parent of the bottom-most DynamicClassloader, discarding any further descendants. After this the chain is

[priority-classloader DynamicClassLoader AppClassLoader PlatformClassLoader]

Do this for every thread that has a DynamicClassLoader as the context classloader, or any of its parents.

We need to do this from a separate thread, hence the future call, because nREPL's interruptible-eval resets the context-classloader at the end of the evaluation, so this needs to happen after that has happened.

Start the JVM with -Dlambdaisland.classpath.debug=true to get debugging output.

parent clj

(parent cl)

Get the parent classloader

platform-loader clj

(platform-loader)

Get the platform classloader

priority-classloader clj

(priority-classloader cl urls)

A modified URLClassloader

It will give precedence to its own URLs over its parents, then to whatever resources its immediate parent returns, and only then passing the request up the chain, which will then proceed with the bottom most classloaders (Boot, then Platform, then App).

We install this as the child of the bottom most clojure.lang.DynamicClassloader that we find.

The logic here relies on the fact that DynamicClassLoader or its parent URLClassLoader do not implement the getResource/getResources methods, they rely on the parent implementation in ClassLoader, which gives precedence to ancestors, before proceeding to call findResource/findResources, which URLClassLoader/DynamicClassloader do implement. This classloader reverses that logic, so that the system classloader doesn't shadow our own classpath entries.

priority-classloader? clj

(priority-classloader? cl)

Is the given classloader a priority-classloader

read-basis clj

(read-basis)

Read the basis (extended deps.edn) that Clojure started with, using the clojure.basis system property.

resources clj

(resources name)

(resources cl name)

The plural of [[clojure.java.io/resource]], find all resources with the given name on the classpath.

Useful for checking shadowing issues, in case a library ended up on the classpath multiple times.

root-loader clj

(root-loader)

(root-loader cl)

Find the bottom-most DynamicClassLoader in the chain of parent classloaders

update-classpath! clj

(update-classpath! basis-opts)

Use the given options to construct a basis (see [[deps/create-basis]]), then add any classpath-roots that aren't part of the system classpath yet to the classpath, by installing an extra classloader over Clojure's DynamicClassloader which takes precedence.

This is the closest we can get to "replacing" the classpath. We can't remove any entries from the system classpath (the classpath the JVM booted with), but we can make sure any extra entries get precedence.
