Midje on travis-ci fails with NoSuchMethodError: KeywordLookupSite.

Question

I'm trying to use the Midje testing framework for Clojure on the Travis CI service.

The project.clj looks like this:

(defproject my-project "0.1.0-SNAPSHOT"
  :description "Example"
  :dependencies [[org.clojure/clojure "1.3.0"]]
  :dev-dependencies [[midje "1.3.0"]
                     [lein-midje "1.0.7"]])

I added a .travis.yml file:

language: clojure
script: "lein midje"

Running lein midje locally (Ubuntu 11.10) works fine, but on Travis CI the build fails with the following exception:

Why does the error occur on Travis CI, but not my machine? What can I do to fix this?

Here is the solution that worked for me: http://clojure-play-framework.blogspot.com/2012/01/re-new-version-of-clojurescript-one.html — , Jan 29 '12 at 00:27

After unsuccessful searches for the cause of this problem, I came across a GitHub project that seemed to be using Midje with Travis CI successfully. I also could get it to work using the following workaround:

(defproject my-project "0.1.0-SNAPSHOT"
  :description "Example"
  :dependencies [[org.clojure/clojure "1.3.0"]]
  :dev-dependencies [[midje "1.3.0" :exclusions [org.clojure/clojure]]
                     [lein-midje "1.0.7"]])

I posted the question and the workaround here to make it more accessible.

I'm still interested in information about the root cause and in alternative solutions.

Thank you for this. I was running into the same problem locally. Nuking the lib directory in my project, adding the :exclusions [org.clojure/clojure] bit, and then running 'lein deps' again did the trick for me. – gregspurrier Jan 13 '12 at 19:30
KeywordLookupSite not found is mainly there when running clojure 1.3 code with clojure 1.2. I think you should upgrade midje. – Ning Sun Jan 29 '12 at 13:29

I came across this recently, but I was using lein2 instead of lein. For lein2, project.clj should have at least:

{:profiles {:dev {:dependencies [[midje "1.6.0" :exclusions [org.clojure/clojure]]]
                  :plugins [[lein-midje "3.1.3"]]}}

And .travis.yml should include:

script: lein2 midje

Midje on travis-ci fails with NoSuchMethodError: KeywordLookupSite.
