when using the cursive debugger, values of locals on prior frames of the stack are always null. Is that a known problem?

@moizsj: They shouldn’t be. How are you starting the debugger?

@cfleming: once I create my repl launch config, I either 'Run' or 'Debug'

@moizsj: When you’re seeing this problem, what does *compiler-options* show in your REPL?

@cfleming: {:disable-locals-clearing true}

Ok, that’s what you want.

Which code are you seeing this in? Is it code that has been AOT compiled, like Datomic or something?

Or has your own code been AOT compiled?

not AOT compiled. i tried it again right now and its working. so i guess its not always reproducible

@cfleming: is there some scenario in which that flag would get set to false? (and cause this issue)

I’m not sure

Cursive always tries to set it at startup when you’re debugging.

But there may be a bug of some kind there.

If you see the problem again could you check that flag?

@cfleming: sure thing
