javaclojurescriptcidersdkmanshadow-cljs

Why is "shadow-cljs cljs-repl app" still working while cider-jack-in-cljs is retrieving an error?

I have been using Clojure, ClojureScript, lein, shadow-cljs, re-frame, reagent, Emacs, and CIDER to work on a Clojure/ClojureScript dynamic web app project.

Usually, I build the project by executing the command cider-jack-in-cljs in Emacs, choosing shadow-cljs, then shadow for REPL type, and, finally, app for the building option.

It used to work and cider-jack-in-cljs still works if I check out some previous commits from last week. There was a big merge of a huge branch into the main branch. To make it work is even necessary to tweak the java version.

Currently, I have two java versions. The new main branch uses the 11.0.16-amzn and last week main branch uses 8.0.342-amzn:

Pedros-MacBook-Air:balance pedro$ sdk use java 
11.0.16-amzn  8.0.342-amzn

Unfortunately, now, in the latest current main branch, cider-jack-in-cljs does not work anymore. The command returns this error message:

[nREPL] Starting server via /opt/homebrew/bin/shadow-cljs -d nrepl/nrepl:0.9.0 -d cider/cider-nrepl:0.28.5 -d refactor-nrepl/refactor-nrepl:3.5.5 -d cider/piggieback:0.5.2 server

At the same time, it is possible to build the main branch locally after running on the terminal the following:

shadow-cljs cljs-repl app

My hypothesis (that could be wrong) is that the terminal is using the right java version. But, Emacs is not!

I would rather use the CIDER environment. Why is CIDER not working while the terminal is working?

Since I have already used sdkman on terminal to tweak the Java version, why is Emacs not using the proper version (apparently, related to my hypothesis)?

Solution

  • My hypothesis (that could be wrong) is that the terminal is using the right java version. But, Emacs is not!

    This is correct. Latest versions of shadow-cljs require Java11+ to be used.

    The error you get is from using a newer shadow-cljs version with an old java version.

    No clue how you make emacs use the newer version though.
