I can't run Dirac on MacOS, it keeps complaining about org.clojure/data.json - even though it is listed as a dependency

Start with the installation instructions and the dirac entry point, then inspect the failure in dirac.nrepl.compilation.direct at direct.clj. Reproduce the command both outside a project and with the shown project.clj, checking how the runtime classpath is assembled. Done means identifying why org.clojure/data.json is unavailable and documenting or fixing the supported invocation.

Hi,

I am trying to install Dirac on a Macbook Air M1 running Monterey 12.5.

I am following the documentation which indicates:

curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/binaryage/dirac/master/install > /tmp/dirac.install && sudo bash /tmp/dirac.install

The installation seems to have worked out since it exists on binaries:

   Pedros-MacBook-Air:bin pedro$ pwd
   /usr/local/bin

   Pedros-MacBook-Air:bin pedro$ ls -1
   dirac
   lein

Unfortunately, when I go to the 2nd step on manual which is running dirac, the error below is retrieved:

   Pedros-MacBook-Air:bin pedro$ dirac

Initially, I tried running it at home folder. I thought it would work out fine.

Then, I decided to run it inside a project folder that had the file clojure/data/json.clj
included in the the project.clj file. Unfortunately, even this approach did not work out.

Below you see a simplified version of the project.clj file:

(defproject abcd    ; Should be copied from shadow-cljs.edn
  :description "xxxx"
  :url "xxxx"

  :dependencies [[org.clojure/clojure "1.9.0"]
                 [org.clojure/clojurescript "1.10.339"]
                 [org.clojure/tools.nrepl "RELEASE"]
                 [binaryage/devtools ~devtools-version]
                 [binaryage/dirac ~dirac-version]
                 [org.clojure/data.json "2.4.0"]
                 [figwheel ~figwheel-version]
                 ;; Selmer for templating of .json config files
                 [selmer "1.12.50"]]

... (omitted content because it seems irrelevant) ...

  :profiles {:repl
             {:repl-options {:port             8230
                             :nrepl-middleware [dirac.nrepl/middleware]
                             :init             (do
                                                 (require 'dirac.agent)
                                                 (dirac.agent/boot!))


}}})

1 - I thought Dirac would work out even outside of the project folder. Is it necessary to be in the project folder?

2 - Why is Dirac complaining about the Json library even though it is listed as a dependency?
Is there any difference between clojure/data/json.clj (error message retrieved) and org.clojure/data.json (my dependency)?

Thanks!
