lein-midje not working with high-level Leiningen tasks (in plugin projects)

[xsc]

Let's say I have the following in my project.clj:

...
  :eval-in :leiningen
  :profiles {:midje {:dependencies [[midje "1.5.1"]]
                     :plugins [[lein-midje "3.1.3-RC2"]]}}
...

No tests are defined so far, so midje should not encounter any failures. I call:

$ lein with-profile midje midje
Performing task 'midje' with profile(s): 'midje'
No facts were checked. Is that what you wanted?
Error encountered performing task 'midje' with profile(s): 'midje'
Suppressed exit

Exit code is 1, things like TravisCI will fail. Note that this works fine for non-:eval-in-leiningen projects, the fact that leiningen.core.main/exit is called even if no failure is encountered just breaks testing of, e.g., plugin projects in that manner.

I'm not sure that this is a right place... but I have a similar and strange behavior:

vbauer@vladislav-bauer:~/workspace/clojure/lein-plantuml$ lein with-profile dev midje
All checks (10) succeeded.
Error encountered performing task 'midje' with profile(s): 'dev'
Suppressed exit

All tests passed, but I see "Error encountered performing task 'midje' with profile(s): 'dev'". Any ideas?

PS: Yes, I have ":eval-in-leiningen true" in my project.clj

This change is the cause. @marick introduced it because on some platforms the plugin took several seconds to shut down after all tests have been run.

So I've been running [lein-midje "3.1.1"] in my plugin projects for a year now since the most recent versions are broken for that purpose.

[vbauer]

@xsc Thank you for the hint! I've downgraded lein-midje to the version 3.1.1 and it works pretty fine on Travis CI.

Will it be fixed in future versions of the plugin?

[xsc]

Well, this issue has been open for a year and three days now, so I'm not overly confident, the maintainers really see this as something that needs fixing...

I've now put this on the trello board. The problem with fixing it is that understanding how Leiningen behaves has gotten a lot more difficult than it used to be.

Any news about this problem?..

[marick]

Sorry for the delayed reply. I've moved from Clojure on the backend to Elixir. Because of that, I can't devote time to lein-midje. I will do what I can to transition it to anyone who wants to pick it up.
