if i use figwheel-system to start my figwheel then run (figwheel-sidecar.repl-api/repl-env) it returns

Figwheel System not initialized.
Please start it with figwheel-sidecar.repl-api/start-figwheel!
nil

i can convince figwheel that is is running if I:

(alter-var-root
    #'figwheel-sidecar.repl-api/*repl-api-system* (constantly
                             {:figwheel-system (-> sys :figwheel)}))

(`sys` is my app's system, of which :figwheel is one of the components)

seems like figwheel-system should be correctly resetting #'figwheel-sidecar.repl-api/*repl-api-system* on its own. simple omission or are there problems?

@devth it's how you are starting figwheel that is the problem

if you are using the repl-api you need to start figwheel with the repl-api

ah. i'm just adding (component/using (figwheel-system f/figwheel-config) [:server]) to my system-map

then (go) in the repl starts the whole system.

yeah so now you want to start a repl

and a repl needs the figwheel system

ok. i can hack around it for now. i'll think about using start-figwheel! instead too.

there is a figwheel-sidecar.system/start-figwheel-repl fn

You'll have to get the figwheel system from your system map

ah, nice.
