Setting up leiningen profiles to multiplex between environments AND multiple mains - clojure

I currently have a setup for my Clojure project which allows me to toggle configuration from dev to test or prod by configuring profiles in Leiningen's project map. The section related to the profiles looks like this:
:main ^:skip-aot myproject.core
:target-path "target/%s"
:profiles {:uberjar {:aot :all}
:dev {:env {:clj-env :development
:database-uri "jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/db_dev"}}
:test {:env {:clj-env :test
:database-uri "jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/db_test"}}
:production {:env {:clj-env :production
:database-uri "jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/db"}}})
The issue is I would further like to enhance this and be able to toggle between multiple mains. I have seen in other posts that people usually achieve this by configuring the profiles like here.
What I don't know how to do is how to preserve the configuration I have so that profiles correspond to environments but also further configure it in order to be able to choose the main class by simply adding a parameter to lein run.
I have figured out that one way is obviously to keep having just one main class and add that multiplexing with actual Clojure code, but I was hoping to be able to do it via lein configuration.

After trying multiple options, the only way I have found to do this is via aliases.
First setting the :main option to nil, so the MANIFEST.MF doesn't have any Main.class set, and then simply adding a couple of aliases specifying which main class to run.
:main nil
:target-path "target/%s"
:aliases {"main1" ["run" "-m" "project.main1.core"]
"main2" ["run" "-m" "project.main2.core"]}

How to configure Jetty settings in project.clj and use Lein Ring in Clojure?

I would like to add some configuration to Jetty Adapter and run it with the lein-ring plugin, but i could not find any information.
I can run this configured from the main function by using lein run.
(jet/run-jetty main-handler {:port 8080 :join? false})
But I want to set those configurations in the project.clj so I can use "lein ring server".
The lein-ring documentation suggests you can put a map of options for your ring adapter in the project.clj file, like this:
:ring {:handler hello-world.core/handler
:adapter {:join? false
:port 8080}}
Though you probably do not want to use :join? false I'd think.

Leiningen missing test resources?

Leiningen provides a default directory for 'main' code, main resources, and test code, but nothing for test resources.
Coming from a maven background this is something I'd expect.
In that case, where should test resources live? Or a larger question, what's the philosophical reason why it wouldn't need a test resources directory
Test resources in Leiningen are managed using profiles. To set up a directory with test resources, you would add its path to the :resource-paths property of the :test profile (to make it available only to the test task) or :dev profile (to make it available to all dev tasks, e.g. test, run, repl, etc.)
Sample project.clj for a Maven-like project structure:
(defproject myproject "0.0.1-SNAPSHOT"
:source-paths ["src/main/clj"]
:test-paths ["src/test/clj"]
:resource-paths ["src/main/resources"]
:dev {:resource-paths ["src/test/resources"]})
When the :dev profile is active, its :resource-paths values are merged with the :resource-paths from the base project, giving you what you're looking for.
See the Leiningen docs for more information on profiles.

Sharing configuration in Leiningen project.clj

I have a Clojure project that uses the lein-beanstalk Leiningen plugin to deploy my app to Amazon Elastic Beanstalk.
My Elastic Beanstalk application has multiple environments (e.g. development, staging, production, etc.), each with different configuration. The configuration is managed by Elastic Beanstalk environment properties, which are set in the JVM as system properties. lein-beanstalk manages these properties with the following entry in project.clj:
(defproject eb-app "1.0-SNAPSHOT"
:aws {:beanstalk {:environments [{:name "staging"
:env {"com.example.fooLimit" "3"
"com.example.barName" "BAR"}}
{:name "production"
:env {"com.example.fooLimit" "27"
"com.example.barName" "BAR"}}]}})
In this example, only com.example.fooLimit varies between my environments, so I'd like to use a var to hold the shared conf. Since defproject is a macro that quotes everything, I can accomplish what I want with a syntax unquote:
(def cfg {"com.example.barName" "BAR"})
(defproject eb-app "1.0-SNAPSHOT"
:aws {:environments [{:name "staging"
:env ~(merge cfg {"com.example.fooLimit" "3"}})
{:name "production"
:env ~(merge cfg {"com.example.fooLimit" "27"}})}]}})
My question is whether this is common in Clojure projects, or if there is a more idiomatic or industry-standard way (among Clojure programmers) to DRY up project.clj?

How to configure Leiningen to use a corporate repository?

We are hosting a corporate repository which acts as a proxy to the well-known repositories (e.g. Maven Central and Clojars). I want Leiningen to hit the corporate repository in the first place. Only when the corporate repository fails to deliver the artifact Leiningen should ask the standard repositories. This should be the default behaviour of all my projects. What configuration I have to do?
I have added the corporate repository as a mirror in ~/.lein/profiles.clj:
{:user {:mirrors {"our-repo" {:name "our-repo"
:url "http://our-repo/all/"}}}}
Unfortunately this setting has no impact. Leiningen downloads the artifacts from Maven Central:
PS> lein repl
Retrieving org/clojure/clojure/1.5.1/clojure-1.5.1.pom from central
...
Update
xsc suggests to overwrite the Maven Central repository with a mirror definition which points to the corporate repository. It works. Now instead of going to the external Maven Repository Leiningen retrieves the artifacts from the corporate repository.
S/He also suggests to specify an additional repository definition to install a fallback mechanism.
Unfortunately this does not work so well because Leiningen complains about this setting:
:repositories detected in user-level profiles! [:user]
See https://github.com/technomancy/leiningen/wiki/Repeatability
This warning is very annoying. For this reason I would abstain from this setting. Is there another way to install a fallback mechanism?
Here's what works for me:
{:user {:mirrors {#".+" {:url "http://nexus.example.com:8081/nexus/content/groups/public"}}
:repositories [["snapshots" {:id "NudaySnapshots"
:url "http://nexus.example.com:8081/nexus/content/repositories/snapshots"}]
["releases" {:id "NudayReleases"
:url "http://nexus.example.com:8081/nexus/content/repositories/releases"
:sign-releases false}]]}
:auth {:repository-auth {#"nexus.example.com" {:username "deployment"
:password "foo bar baz"}}}}
This handles both resolving dependencies through my Nexus mirror and publishing artifacts to it with lein deploy.
I get the annoying "Repeatability" warning, but I'm working on getting rid of that.
As far as I can see in Leiningen's example project.clj you have to use the name of the repository to mirror as the key in the :mirrors map. So, try this:
{:mirrors {"central" { ... }}}
This will most likely replace the repository completely, so you might want to add the original again:
{:mirrors {"central" {:url "..." }}
:repositories {"maven" {:url "http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/"}}}

Clojure database settings per environment

I am using monger to fetch and save some data in MongoDb from my Clojure simple app. I have strong Ruby on Rails background so I am familiar with database settings per environment (development, test, production). I want to have something similar in Clojure. How can I add the environment to my code? I want to do it in Clojure-way, code as data, without any yaml files. I am using Leiningen if it changes something.
You can use Leiningen profiles feature.
In your project.clj define your profiles (most cases you need dev and prod)
:profiles {:dev {:resource-paths ["resource-dev"]}
:prod {:resource-paths ["resource-prod"]}}
Now create 2 directories resource-dev and resource-prod and create config.clj file in both of them which will have define a map to store configuration. Something like:
(ns myapp.config)
(def config {:database "dev"})
Then in your app code you can use below snippet to load the config file (only once) and access the config map:
(use 'clojure.java.io)
(def config (delay (load-file (.getFile (resource "config.clj")))))
(defn get-config []
#(force config))
Now you can use get-config function to access the config map.
Have a look at clj-boilerplate, a sample web app I created.
There's info in the README about how it understands environments out of the box and an example environment file can be seen here - but it looks something like this:
(def config
(let [env (or (System/getenv "ENVIRONMENT") "development")]
((keyword env)
{:development
{:database-url "postgres://lborges:#localhost/clj-boilerplate"}
:test
{:database-url "postgres://lborges:#localhost/clj-boilerplate-test"
:production
{:database-url (System/getenv "DATABASE_URL")}})))
I have since evolved this approach but this should get you started.
Hope this helps.
Have a look at using Confijulate (plug for a personal project!):
https://github.com/bbbates/confijulate
It allows you to define environment specific configuration maps, and specify which one to use via JVM system properties.
