How do you pass a clojure deps alias in a dir-locals file to a shadow-cljs project. Here is what i'm trying and its not working

((nil . (
         (cider-preferred-build-tool . shadow-cljs)
         (cider-clojure-cli-aliass . "-A:dev") <-------
         (cider-default-cljs-repl . shadow)
         (cider-shadow-default-options . "dev")
         (cider-shadow-watched-builds . ("dev" "cards"))
         )))

I'm trying to start a cljs node repl and it opens up a cljs repl but fails when it tries to run (cider.piggieback/cljs-repl (cljs.repl.node/repl-env)), with this stacktrace:

TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'error__GT_str')

I can get browser repl going, but I'm not sure where to start debugging this one.

does cider attempt to launch repls under a different user or in a different environment than the one emacs is running under? (on linux)

no

emacs does have a different exec-path from the env of the launching shell, especially when started as a GUI frame not as a child of a terminal

what error are you seeing?

I'm having issues with cider running figwheel-main with npm dependencies coming from webpack. It's not able to find node, installed via nvm. When I run the figwheel-main via clojure -m figwheel.main -b dev -r it works fine. But running from the major mode in emacs returns

[Figwheel:SEVERE] Bundling command failed /usr/bin/env: 'node': No such file or directory

yeah. i’ve had issues with this in the past. in my init i had to add the nvm location to the exec-path.

you can test out by opening an eshell buffer and typing which node. If that doesn’t work no emacs child process will. You’ll need to add to the exec-path so it can find node

exec-path is a variable defined in 'C source code'.
Its value is
("/Users/dan/.sdkman/candidates/java/current/bin/" "/Users/dan/bin/" "/opt/homebrew/bin/" "/opt/homebrew/sbin/" "/usr/local/bin/" "/usr/bin/" "/bin/" "/usr/sbin/" "/sbin/" "/opt/homebrew/Cellar/emacs-mac/emacs-27.2-mac-8.3/libexec/emacs/27.2/aarch64-apple-darwin21.2.0/")

[truncated]

Documentation:
List of directories to search programs to run in subprocesses.
Each element is a string (directory name) or nil (try default directory).

By default the last element of this list is 'exec-directory'. The
last element is not always used, for example in shell completion
('shell-dynamic-complete-command').

not sure if nvm does something similar to sdkman there where java/current/bin is on my exec-path

and of course this helpful lib if you aren’t already using it

Thanks.

I remembered that doom actually lets you alter your env. So I ran doom env, but I didnt' realize that it was by frame. Restarting emacs after adding an environment file did the trick!
