yeah, faced that some times with different extensions than clojure

I've found issues like this by grep-ing my entire plugin tree and then figuring out what the actual problem is or just disabling the message.

Its when you use comment-region etc. in a major mode... without comment syntax definend. A mode should set the local vars from newcomment.el The prompt asks the user for a comment start syntax, so if you know you can for example say # and it puts # everywhere.

Is there a way to avoid prompts and not get any specific behavior? i.e. assume I don't care about the problem (at least for now) (note: this problem pops up to me when just opening / scrolling through a buffer. I don't try to run comment-region, AFAIK)

could do debug-on-error to see which code is calling a comment function - this would annoy me too 😛 hack comment-normalize-vars or advice: (advice-add #'comment-normalize-vars :filter-args (defun always-no-error-for-comment-normalize-vars (&rest _) (list t))) One idea is to use # as default

Thanks! Will give it a try

...for some reason I never gave it a try. But would have worked! I added t ( (comment-normalize-vars t) ) in a few places of cider/clojure-mode today.

Not sure if I understand the question cider-jack-in shoud create a Lein/java process within Emacs. Does it not do that for you?

Yes, I am able to access cider-jack-in in Emacs and run the CIDER REPL. I was just wondering how to run Lein inside of it. (I'm a total newb to this btw lol)

I used Lein to create a new project in the Windows Command prompt .... I was wondering if I can do that inside EMACS instead.

Like if I want to start a new Clojure prject, I'll have to go into the CMD and type "lein new app APPNAME" and it creates the folders for me

got it! What do M-x shell or M-x eshell do for you? (Those are two different shell implementations to choose from)

lemme check

OH SNAPS ! i think thats it !

I used M-x shell and typed "Lein" and it popped up with the Leinengen options !

i’ve certainly just run arbitrary shell commands with M-! . i’m no stranger to running, e.g. M-! lein deps :tree in emacs

@U05N5T43AF5 cheers. My first emacs/cider experience was with Windows. That was around 2011 - time flies. Have fun!

THAT WORKED TOO !!!

thanks guys, they both worked !!!

if you’re new to shell-mode, and want to start using it, i’d recommend perusing the manual for it as well 🙂 M-! just works for a single command, but shell-mode provides you with an interactive shell to work with

ahhh I was saying windows command prompt lol but its called SHELL

im gonna check out the manual because EMACS is getting really fun

you can always C-h r to open it and C-s to search for whatever you want 😄 like C-s shell for instance 🙂

WOW !! Extremely helpful !!! thank you lots for those commands !! :face_with_cowboy_hat:

I almost never use any other shell than Eshell (`M-x eshell`). It’s very capable.

NICE !!! What about be the main difference between eshell and shell ??

eshell is implemented in Emacs lisp, and you can call many emacs lisp functions from within it. Here’s a great primer: https://www.masteringemacs.org/article/complete-guide-mastering-eshell

heck yeah !! thanks for the link ! gonna read that one now
