A Leiningen plugin for handling a project's version.
It should be easy to update a project's version. It should be easy to refer to a project's version from within the code. This lein plugin, helps a developer realize these two goals. It does so in a way that is consistent with semantic versioning.
Put [lein-ver "1.0.1"]
into the :plugins vector of your :user profile.
If you're on Leiningen 1.x do lein plugin install lein-ver 1.0.1.
lein-ver is used to manage a project's version.
It stores this information in two places:
project.clj and resources/VERSION.
The version found in resources/VERSION is considered authoritative.
While, projcet.clj is a clojure file,
and should be able to load version information from resources/VERSION,
I found that not all tools treat it as such.
So it is better to specify the version as a string inside project.clj.
Therefore, lein-ver operates on both files.
The first time you use lein-ver on a project, run
$ lein ver init
This will create a file (src/project_name/version.clj),
which takes care of loading resources/VERSION
and exposing its version information to the project.
Since you probably already have a version specified in project.clj,
this will also use that to write a version to resources/VERSION.
This is the only command that treats project.clj as authoritative,
and should only be run once for each project.
As per the semantic versioning specification,
lein-ver makes use of three numeric components:
major, minor, and patch;
and two alphanumeric (plus dash) components:
pre-release and build.
(Please see the spec
for more information on the meaning of each component.)
Now you can run lein ver write
to specify each of these five components.
Any component not specified, defaults to nil,
meaning it will not be a part of the version.
For example, to set a version of "1.3.2-rc.2", run
$ lein ver write :major 1 :minor 3 :patch 2 :pre-release rc.2
The major, minor, and patch components can only be numeric.
It is not an error to give non-numeric data,
but that component will default to nil.
Any string can be given for the pre-release or build components.
The only string that receives special treatment is "nil",
which will be interpreted as thought that component were not given.
Thus it is not possible to use the string literal "nil",
for any component, without editing resources/VERSION by hand.
The command lein ver bump can be used to increase one of the
major, minor, or patch components
while simultaneously resetting the lower ones.
The bump command takes exactly one of
:major, :minor, or :patch.
When :major is given, it is increased by 1,
and :minor and :patch are set to 0.
When :minor is given, it is increased by 1,
and :patch is set to 0.
When :patch is given, it is increased by 1.
In all cases, :pre-release and :build are set to nil.
For example, if the current version is "1.3.2", running
$ lein ver bump :minor
results in a version of "1.4.0".
Also available is lein ver set, which functions similarly to write,
but instead of defaulting any unspecified components to nil,
they are preserved.
This makes it easy to modify the pre-release or build components,
(as they can't be changed by bump)
without altering the major, minor, or patch components.
For example, if the current version is "1.3.2-rc.2+build.13", running
$ lein ver set :minor 5
results in a version of "1.5.2-rc.2+build.13".
At any time, running
$ lein ver
prints out the current version in the format specified by semver. That is like
X.Y.Z-pre-release+build
where X, Y, Z, pre-release, and build are the
major, minor, patch, pre-release, and build components, respectively.
This is the format that can be found in project.clj.
The lein ver check command, can be used to verify that
project.clj and resources\VERSION have the same version.
If they do match, nothing is output and the command returns 0.
Otherwise, a message is output on standard error, and it returns 1.
After running lein ver init,
the file src\project_name\version.clj
takes care of loading resources\VERSION
and exposes version information inside your project.
To use, just use or require the project-name.version namespace.
That namespace defines a map version as well as the vars
major, minor, patch, pre-release, and build.
It also defines string which returns a string of the version,
in the same format as given by lein ver or found in project.clj.
