@delaguardo you didn't mention you were using custom compiler options and precompile? true. You're pretty much on your own in that case. Taking those lines out of your tests.edn your suite runs fine over here.

https://github.com/DeLaGuardo/kaocha-cljs-problem/runs/394879872 right, now it is working in GH action but on my mac I’m still getting “client failed connecting back” exception

is anyone here succesfuly using kaocha-cljs + node on mac? (looking for some data points)

managed to get an os x vm running 😎 , after a brew install clojure / brew install node / npm install ws it does seem like kaocha-cljs is working, so it's not a blanket os x issue

one addition - I’m using nvm to manage multiple node versions on one system

I'm trying to set up lein + cljs + kaocha. when I run bin/kaocha, no test is found. I've added a kaocha profile and my tests are in the source-paths. kaocha.repl/test-plan outputs this:
