can anyone shed light on this error (when running a default lein repl run/debug config): Error running run: '1.8' is bad configured

i remember this worked on my other machine with the same project, this is a fresh install

got it, for future reference the "JDK home path" in "project structure" was wrong

Random wish: when developing in clojurescript I often want to edit a library I depend on (esp, debugging statements). That of course is read only (jar). Moving it into my code means: (1) copy files to ./src (2) update project.clj deps to remove lib and add the libs deps.

Perhaps Cursive could make it easier.

@olivergeorge You can use Boot’s checkouts feature to make that workflow much easier. You will need to clone the library to your local computer, add the library to :checkouts in you build.boot and then run an auto-build task in the library (e.g. boot pom jar install). Now any time you make changes to that library's source code, it will be updated in the REPL.

Or with lein you can use the project checkouts feature, works great with Cursive

Thanks @kenny & @timgilbert. I'm not using boot but have tried the lein checkouts feature an age ago. Good to know there are options.
