I’ve been using calva for a couple days now - but I’m not getting it to show definitions. I’m just pausing the cursor over the words - is there something else I should look at?

pez15:01:40

@wmichaelshirk That probably means you have an incompatible version of nrepl in the project. Scroll up some in this channel, iirc @mattly posted a snipped with a configuration that worked.

michaels15:01:15

Thanks - that got me part way there. Evidently it wasn’t even connecting to my lein repl I started (based on the output results) - although it was evalutating anyway?

michaels15:01:41

Now I’m getting auto-complete suggestions, but still only some docs - it’s showing the doc for def but not for, say, concat or sort-by.

michaels15:01:28

I got it. I think I somehow had two repls running. 👍

pez15:01:18

It should be pretty solid, once you have the right middleware and just the right amount of repls. 😃

mattly17:01:33

Yeah it’s ridiculous how much stuff there is around the repl connection. I hope socket-based repls start becoming the standard soon

pez19:01:47

@mattly There shouldn’t be as much stuff as there is. It is on me a bit to fix some of the moving pieces. If I get that job done, then we can assess wether it is still really a problem or not. I don’t think it is about socket or something else. Whatever functionality we want to add will require libraries and stuff and have compatibility issues.

mattly20:01:07

well even with emacs it's ridiculous

mattly20:01:33

emacs is just better about hiding that from you

jeremy18:01:02

Is there a way to step debug in VS Code?

mseddon19:01:46

@jeremy642 Currently, this isn't supported in Calva I'm afraid, it's a planned feature and we'll be hopefully starting on that in the not-too-distant future.

jeremy19:01:52

:thumbsup:

jeremy19:01:08

I popped back over to Cursive to debug. I need to get more familiar with repl testing problems with ring/compojure/etc.

mseddon19:01:16

debugging is a real must have for me, just there are things like a nice REPL and fixing up various formatter issues between that and me getting my teeth into it 🙂

jeremy19:01:59

When things calm down here at work, I’ll pull down calva and see if I can build it. If I can get the env set up, I will see if I can help contribute.

mseddon19:01:28

that'd be awesome! I just joined the project myself. 🙂

mseddon19:01:35

there is a how to contribute page https://github.com/BetterThanTomorrow/calva/wiki/How-to-Contribute, but if you run into any issues feel free to message myself or @pez and we'll happily help you get set up

pez19:01:20

@jeremy642 I love that attitude! There are some steps setting things set up for development, but it’s just mechanics and quite easy as such. I really hope you try and that you ask us here if you get stuck. (It is really not as well documented as it should be.)
