Did you remember to start the watch process with npx shadow-cljs watch app?

but that's the thing, I've already asked in other places and it seems cider-jack-in-cljs should detect shadow-cljs and start the watch when you jack in automatically, no?

even if I do start it manually with npx shadow-cljs watch app and then cider-connect-cljs and it does connect it doesn't seem to work, as eval-ing expressions "doesn't do anything", for example if I eval (js/alert "foo") it won't open an alert, even though emacs acts like if it did eval ... I do get recompile/reload on save, but that's coming from npx shadow-cljs watch app that runs independently from CIDER/emacs, seems nothing on the emacs side works but in a similar project that uses figwheel I can eval things with CIDER the same way, and "it works", as in eval-ing things actually evaluates them as expected if I open a similar example project with
