Hi! I am a complete beginner having an issue trying to use CIDER’s debugger. I can’t seem to be able to configure it: getting “no reader function for tag break” error

Could someone help me out?

I suspect I didn’t configure something properly

Problem solved

@gonewest818 not really; my project was declaring as dependncy clojure 1.5 and I hadn’t checked the startup log of the repl which mentioned that CIDER wouldn’t be loaded as it requires Clojure 1.7.0+

although I still can’t seem to get CIDER to break on #break points..

Well, maybe try (boot.core/load-data-readers!) in your repl, as recommended in that bug report, and see if you can get it to break after that.

@gonewest818 I am using Lein, but the data readers are getting loaded properly (I checked data-readers in the REPL)

@noisesmith maybe you might be able to help if you happen to use CIDER?

it’s probably something stupid. Should I be expecting CIDER to break on #break when calling a function in the REPL?

You've re evaluated the form after putting the break tag?

I'm pretty sure that works fine. Also if you evaluate in the buffer using the various forms of cider-eval-*. Did you reload the buffer or function after inserting the #break?

I reloaded the buffer, yes

it works if I execute cider-debug-defun-at-point on the function definition before executing it
