Clojurians Log v2

yes, datomic.api is closed source so stubs are required. hum, try check server logs to see if mentions the stub generation state

If you see the progress message about stub generation it's because it found stubs to be generated, like datomic.api for example

Hmm, unfortunately I'm a neovim noob so I'm not sure how to check the logs there

check if https://clojure-lsp.io/troubleshooting/#server-log

I don't have any issues with the same project in Calva, but I believe Calva does something under the hood to detect that sort of thing without specifying a config.

I doubt, calva has no stub builtin support AFAIK

unless it's using nrepl to navigate or get info from the symbol

I'm not sure what Calva does, but I am sure that I didn't have a stub config before and it worked

yeah, probably not using LSP. Anyway, the server logs should help, also clean any .lsp cache before

cmp-conjure is working since it uses the repl, but when I try to configure both clojure-lsp takes over the completions and docs

The lsp config I'm using is from the docs: {:stubs {:generation {:namespaces #{"datomic.api"}}}}

I have tried clearing the cache

that looks correct

We will need to check server logs

try following what I mentioned in the link

Checking that now

Ok so it's looking for portal, which I have included as a dev alias and it's not on the classpath yet since the repl hasn't started when it is analyzing

I have portal set up in user.clj automatically

wait where/when it's looking for portal? I don't get it why it's related with stubs. Maybe post the logs here

I have a portal alias so when I start a repl I use -A:dev:portal

The dev alias includes the sources under /dev, which currently is just the user.clj

hum, interesting

so it should be more a bug in https://github.com/clj-easy/stub

that I created 😅

actually no sure, because clojure-lsp pass the classpath https://github.com/clojure-lsp/clojure-lsp/blob/f5cab6c31c834e850f1b1993c6ff0cba78e0ae9d/lib/src/clojure_lsp/feature/stubs.clj#L41

so it should be passing with portal in classpath

not sure why that is failing

I tried adding :source-aliases #{:src :dev :portal} and it now loads up portal, but still nothing generated

And no error

oh, interesting

ok, progress

try clean .lsp/.cache , not sure it's a cache issue

I'm doing that each iteration

so after that log nothing on .lsp/.cache/stubs ?

Yep, nothing

try removing the global cache ~/.cache/clojure-lsp/

After doing that it took a long time analyzing JDK sources and still no stubs

2025-08-21T16:05:49.586Z  INFO [clojure-lsp.feature.java-interop:321] - [java] JDK source analyzed and cached successfully.

Same log

Oh wait

It's still saying Generating stubs

yeah, the bad thing is that the first time stubs generation may take even couple of mins

not sure why

Ok waiting for it

Hopefully it's good this time

🤞

it's a feature we could improve even more

10 minutes already and still generating

On a M1 Max MBP

hum weird

Maybe it's hanging at this point

yeah, maybe you could log the stub command used for debugging 🤔

https://github.com/clojure-lsp/clojure-lsp/blob/f5cab6c31c834e850f1b1993c6ff0cba78e0ae9d/lib/src/clojure_lsp/feature/stubs.clj#L38

clojure-lsp is installed via mason so I'm not sure how I would do that

Derp

I feel dumb

My user.clj also tries to connect to datomic automatically for development and it wasn't running. I removed the :dev namespace from the config and now it doesn't load portal, but still has access to portal and the stubs are there

hum, yeah that should help

maybe is related with a huge classpath?

It's a small classpath

Just was stuck trying to connect, but no logging of that

So the stubs are there, but I still don't get docs and completion

oh, if they are there clojure-lsp should consider them indeed

we need to improve this whole stub thing debugging

It's possible there's something off in my neovim config. It's been throwing me for loops for days

I'm trying to keep the config as simple as possible using lazyvim

Hum, it should not be related with clojure-lsp I believe

I mean, it should not affect it

I'm at a loss here

Maybe I should just stick to Calva

This is the stuff that drives me nuts with nvim and emacs

Calva just delegates to cider-nrepl which is the same base for emacs and vim, so you could leverage stubs from them too

I just don't understand why it's not working with what I have. I'm following the recommended setup from Conjure

Which uses cider

When I don't include clojure-lsp then cmp-conjure works for datomic while the repl is running, but when I include clojure-lsp then cmp-conjure isn't included in the completions

yeah, I never used stubs or these things from cider, so not sure too how it works

yeah, sounds like there must be a way to check if LSP returns anything otherwise fallback to repl

calva does that with the repl

It's been suggested to use blink.cmp, but that isn't trivial to configure

At this point I'm not sure that all of this rabbit hole configuration is worth it instead of just using something like Calva that just works out of the box

I used Cursive for the longest, but IntelliJ code quality has dropped off a cliff and has so many bugs now

yeah, I agree stubs and java interop is not the great currently, but other things should work smoothly

I had other issues getting nvim to work as well

Various recommended plugins that haven't been updated in years so it's broken with latest nvim

yeah, havd few experience with nvim, only emacs, just used lazy vim and emacs looks way easier IMO 😅

Haha

I tried emacs via spacemacs and had a tough time

Calva is pretty good tho

Oh for sure. I don't have issues with Calva. I'm just not a huge fan of VSCode, but there aren't really any better alternatives at the moment it seems. Zed looks promising, but isn't there yet

I'd love to continue using IntelliJ, but the bugs and various other issues in it are driving me insane

My recommendation and you probably already heard that: if you wanna look for something as a long term, try doom-emacs hehe

I heard of that, but haven't tried it. How does it differ from vanilla and spacemacs?

IMO it's way more modern, behave close to a IDE like vscode in terms of UI and configuration, but close to spaceemacs

just faster and more modular

I use for 6 years now

Ah, ok. Do you know a guide for getting Clojure working in that?

my config in case you wanna check it: https://github.com/ericdallo/dotfiles/

I wrote https://emacs-lsp.github.io/lsp-mode/tutorials/clojure-guide/, it's a little bit outdated, but most things are just easier nowadays
