Hey guys I am trying to start a repl from a deps.edn file. Any pointer on how to do it?

Assuming you have the clojure tools installed, just clj

oh, sorry didn’t realize we are in #cursive :)

but you need the Cursive EAP with deps support

@alexmiller np! and I have the 1.8 release of cursive.

The thing is the “run with deps” option remains unclickable when I try to make a run config.

Right now i am thinking of trying this

I can create an alias in my deps.edn that will start a headless nrepl server, start that in a terminal then connect cursive via a remote repl config.

not sure that’s going to help you with running with deps

I’m sure there’s some other reason why it’s not working, but not sure what to suggest

It’s ok I am gonna tinker a bit. Thx Alex

@jeremys: I had some issues using CLI tools, can you see if it works if you select "use tools.deps directly"? It fixed things for me when I had a similar problem.

@shaun-mahood I don’t where I could select this. My project was started using lein, I don’t know if that would prevent cursive from loading the CLI tools parts. When I try to “add framework support” deps isn’t there. Now when I try to create a configuration, I can create a “Clojure App”, a”Clojure Deps” or a “CLojure REPL local/remote” one. The support seems to be in Clojure App and Clojure repl local. In these two templates there is a “run with deps” choice with a field to select aliases. However I can’t select that option, it’s greyed out.

@jeremys: As far as I understand it, you have to choose between lein and deps when importing your project - so you would need to change your project to use deps.edn and re-import it

@shaun-mahood Ok I’ll try that !

ok I re-imported my project after removing the .idea and the .iml file. I choose the deps support and I have now the option of running the repl from deps available! however I have a “Sync finish event has not been received” in the build widget of intellij, and I have an exception thrown when try to start the repl “Could not create shim”... I’ll try again later, gotta go for now. Thanks for the help.

@alexmiller Actually 1.8 is out and stable now with deps support.

@jeremys So, right, glad you figured it out - you have to set your project up as a deps project for that to work. When you try it again let me know and we can look at those problems.
