just installed cursive into a fresh IdeaC 2017.1 on Ubuntu 16.04 and after restarting, IdeaC fails to load and hangs

@thosmos Which version did you install?

not sure, it was the one that shows up when you search plugin repositories from within IdeaC

will try again

I think that might be https://github.com/cursive-ide/cursive/issues/1210 - this is fixed in the latest EAP build, but not the release builds.

@thosmos If you don’t have Cursive configured to install EAP builds, you can install this one one-off by downloading https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/download?updateId=33304 and then installing it using Settings->Plugins->Install from Disk...

that didn't fix it

if I remove the plugin from ~/.Idea/config/plugins then it loads fine

is there a place to download older versions of IdeaC? I can't find anything but 2017.1 on their website

@thosmos https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/download/#section=linux, check the “Previous versions" link.

I’m concerned that it’s hanging, though 😞

oh! I missed that

It works fine on 2017.1 for me.

Actually, I’m still on the EAP, I didn’t notice the release - I’ll get the release and check.

@thosmos So it works fine for me with the 2017.1 release, and I’m pretty sure others have had it working for a while too.

Do you have many other plugins installed?

on ubuntu 16.04?

No, but I’d be very surprised if there were some platform interaction - I’ve literally never had a problem with that, barring a few Swing UI issues.

It’s much more likely to be some incompatibility between plugins - that has happened from time to time before.

i didn't have anything other the the default ones installed. maybe it was something about the project I had loaded, which was non-clojure

i'll try again

Could you check for auto-generated thread dumps, as described here: https://intellij-support.jetbrains.com/hc/en-us/articles/206544899-Getting-a-thread-dump-when-IDE-hangs-and-doesn-t-respond?

it worked this time. I created a blank project first, so that once the plugin was installed, it would open to the blank project instead of my other one.

seems like it was something in my other project

@thosmos Ok, let me know if the problem occurs again and we can investigate.

ok thanks for your responsiveness

@danielcompton No, that’s not expected - I think that’s a side effect of making the action available in the menus

@yonatanel Generally, those actions are only available when you have an active REPL

@cfleming It was active. I'll keep working with it and see.

Can’t understand how Thread element under cursor works

I have a form say (a (b (c d)))

When i place cursor on d and press a hotkey - it gives me (a (b (-> d (c))))

When I select the whole form and ask cursive to thread it - it gives me error Element must be within a list

Or Cannot thread element at this position

Aha, got it.

But it leaves braces even if there are no parameters in forms (-> 1 (+) (-) (+))

@achikin Right, that should be a config setting - personally I like that.

@cfleming I think to run tests they must be open in the current edit tab, otherwise my only option is to run the last test command.

AND initially you have to also be in that namespace in repl.

IDEA 2016.2.5

putting :as params on its own line (as it should be), seems to fix it

@cfleming quick question. does the cljs environment support automatic recognition of file namespace on form evaluation? I find myself constantly going to the top of the file and evaling the ns form so that everything gets def'ed on the correct ns 😞

@yonatanel Yes, you can re-run the previous tests you ran, or run one or all tests from the current ns.

You shouldn’t have to be in that NS in the REPL, though.

If you’d prefer that to work in some other way I’m open to suggestions.

@polymeris That looks bad, could you file an issue for that please?

@polymeris Actually, I filed https://github.com/cursive-ide/cursive/issues/1690

@carocad I’m not sure what you mean - do you mean that when you send a form from the editor, that it gets evaluated in the file namespace?

@bfabry Are you still having that problem with the REPL completion?

I am, but I've been caught up with other stuff. I'll try some things next week to fix it

Ok, no worries.

Let me know when you have some time to debug it.
