Getting the version of the current clojure project in the repl

Question

Is it possible to grab the project information within the clojure repl?

For example, if there was a project defined:

(defproject blahproject \"0.1.2\         


        

Answer 1

I use environ (https://github.com/weavejester/environ) which sucks in settings from a number of sources, including system properties. The project version appears as :<project-name>-version:

foobar.repl=> (require '[environ.core :refer [env]])
nil
foobar.repl=> (:foobar-version env)
"0.1.0-SNAPSHOT"

Answer 2

For a more fully-featured approach, you might want to take a look at the configleaf plugin for Leiningen (https://github.com/davidsantiago/configleaf). It will make the project map, with active profiles merged in, available to project code in a namespace of your choosing.
