Automating tasks in Clojure - clojure

Question

I have the following in my project.clj
:aliases {
"start-server" ["ring" "server-headless"]
"build-site" ["run" "-m" "cjohansen-no.web/export"]
"build-html" ["run" "-m" "cjohansen-no.web/export-pages"]
"build-prod" ["do" ["build-site"] ["cljsbuild" "once" "prod"]]
"build-js" ["cljsbuild" "auto" "dev"]
"watch-stuff" [ "do" ["start-server"] ["auto" "build-html"]]
"build-dev" ["do" ["build-site"] ["build-js"] ["watch-stuff"]]
}
:clean-targets [:target-path "./build/js/out"
:compile-path "classes"
:output-paths "./build/js/output"
"build/js/main.js.map"
]
:auto {"build-html" {:file-pattern #"\.(clj|hiccup)$" :paths ["src" "resources"]}}
:clean-non-project-classes true
:cljsbuild {
:builds [{
:id "dev"
:source-paths ["src/cljs"]
; :figwheel {
; :http-server-root "build"
; :css-dirs ["resources/public/css"]
; }
:compiler {
:main scripts.core,
:output-to "build/js/main.js",
:output-dir "build/js/out",
:optimizations :none,
:source-map true,
:source-map-timestamp true,
:recompile-dependents false
}
},
{
:id "prod"
:source-paths ["src/cljs"]
:compiler {
:main scripts.core,
:output-to "build/js/main.js",
:output-dir "build/js/output"
:optimizations :simple,
:source-map "build/js/main.js.map",
:asset-path "js/out"
:pretty-print true
}
}
]
}
I'm trying to automate my build by using aliases but don't seem to have it quite together...
running lein build-dev gets everything going except the "watch-stuff" which runs a [lien-auto] plugin and ring server but the it doesn't seem to function.
in the build output the last thing that happens is
Watching for changes before compiling ClojureScript...
Compiling "build/js/main.js" from ["src/cljs"]...
WARNING: test already refers to: cljs.core/test being replaced by: > scripts.core/test at line 5 src/cljs/scripts/core.cljs
Successfully compiled "build/js/main.js" in 4.54 seconds.
is there anything stopping this? how do I automate this in clojure?
Update
I've been moving stuff around and it seems that in some instances the specific task usually enters into its process....not sure if this causes the task executing afterwards to be suspended...does it?
e.g. if "ring" "server-headless" runs before "build-site" build-site does get run...
How do I then pass through the task and go on to the next one?
P.S. Gulp and Grunt was never this hard sigh
