Clojurians Log v2

I just installed and booted doom, and it doesn't have this problem 😕

yeah, pretty weird, I don't know why the bash -c helps with that, but I suspect doom does something more with shell sessions or envs loaded by emacs

Are you using MacOS? If emacs was launching with a different environment then what you start a shell, and that environment is missing something, that might explain why adding the call to bash solves things, and that is an easy state to end up in on MacOS because of how it launches apps

Nope I'm using Linux (nixos), and in any case I was launching emacs at my normal shell.

The bash/vfork thing was so strange because it was triggered by setting lsp-log-io once. Before that it could call the process without issue

clojure-lsp isn't working properly in my emacs and I am not sure why. M-X lsp-rename (while the point is over a symbol in a clj buffer):

lsp--get-symbol-to-rename: The connected server(s) doesn't support renaming

Checking for Native JSON support: OK
Check emacs supports `read-process-output-max': OK
Check `read-process-output-max' default has been changed from 4k: OK
Byte compiled against Native JSON (recompile lsp-mode if failing when Native JSON available): OK
`gc-cons-threshold' increased?: OK
Using `plist' for deserialized objects? (refer to ): OPTIONAL
Using emacs 28+ with native compilation?: OK

Things are getting worse. I did M-X set-variable to set lsp-log-io to t, but this outputs File mode specification error: (file-missing Doing vfork No such file or directory) and now, clojure-mode is broken with the same error.

...even after a restart where lsp-log-io is nil 🤦‍♂️

are you using doom emacs? if you search the web for the vfork error there is a lot of chatter about it, not sure if anyone has nailed down a fix for it, some people report upgrading doom fixes it

> Connected to [clojure-lsp:162526/starting /home/ramblurr/src/my-project]. check if this is the correct project root but overall looks like a lsp-mode issue, probably a misconfigured project root or something like that

clojure-lsp logs looks correct

> are you using doom emacs? I'm not using doom 😞 So strange. The vfork error appeared when iset lsp-log-io to t, and even after restarts and straight rebuilds it persisted. Only disabling lsp-mode resolved it. Enabling it again brings it back 😞 I don't think I have a crazy emacs config its just corgi + a handful of extra use-packages.

> check if this is the correct project root I can't check now because lsp-mode is broken with the vfork thing, but I am fairly certain it was correct. There are no other deps.edn in that dir, nor parent dirs up to the root.

I flipped debug-on-error on and this appears when the vfork happens:

gosh that isn't easy on the eyes.. the path to clojure-lsp in that log does exist and work

lsp--start-workspace(#s(lsp-session :folders ("/home/ramblurr/src/clojure-playground/another-project" "/home/ramblurr/src/my-project") :folders-blocklist nil :....)

Ok. What a wild ride. I solved the vfork problem with:

(setq lsp-clojure-custom-server-command '("bash" "-c" "/etc/profiles/per-user/ramblurr/bin/clojure-lsp"))
