Hello, I’m very new in shadow-cljs. I encounter a problem recently that I’m getting a ton of errors like these after invoke watch command. The compilation still works, but that’s making the console unusable.

[:failed-to-compare "^7.8.7" "7.12.5" #error {

I google for hours and no result, I’m curious is there a way for me to debug the process of compilation. Thanks very much.

wontheone107:12:24

do you have :target key in the edn?

defclass07:12:05

Sorry, yes,I have a :target key . app target is :browser

wontheone107:12:58

did you run compile or watch to build dev version and opened a browser to provide runtime?

wontheone107:12:28

When do you get those error messages

defclass07:12:27

yep, I guess it might be caused by some of my environment changed yesterday. The config works well for a long time.

wontheone107:12:30

sorry I have no idea

wontheone107:12:54

Also when do you see these msgs? what command did you run?

wontheone107:12:12

or did you run the build with node ?

defclass08:12:00

clojure -M:cljs watch app , I use this command. Thank you all the same, Your help may lead me to find a solution : )

defclass08:12:07

I saw these messages about 1 or 2 days ago.

wontheone108:12:50

I just advise you to go through git diff what broke it

wontheone108:12:41

going through change by change, pin point what change broke it 🙂

defclass08:12:09

Thanks for your advice. I reset the codebase, but did not work. I guess something broken out the codebase.

defclass09:12:42

I found it was a problem with jdk. It works when I downgrade jdk from 15 to 1.8. Thanks for your help @U354VUKQA: )

wontheone109:12:00

Aha no problem

wontheone109:12:11

I think JDK 8 is the most stable version with Clojure 🙂

❤️ 3
wontheone109:12:22

Good that you found out!

defclass09:12:27

I recall that I executed brew upgrade unconsciously yesterday 😭

wontheone109:12:53

😄 brew fucked up my python environments few times as well

wontheone107:12:37

what does your shadow-cljs.edn look like?

thheller09:12:21

@michael.wong upgrade shadow-cljs. then jdk15 is just fine. I use it myself.

thheller09:12:45

this jdk8 recommendation needs to die.

thheller09:12:37

thheller/shadow-cljs {:mvn/version "2.8.81"} is ancient history by now

thheller09:12:03

as is org.clojure/clojurescript {:mvn/version "1.10.520"}

defclass09:12:25

OK, thanks for advice, We will update the version at some future time. At present I need to ensure that our legacy code runs normally.

mkvlr09:12:26

do I remember correctly that ReferenceError: $jscomp is not defined in a release build points towards an issue with polyfills?

thheller09:12:18

yes, $jscomp is polyfills. thought I fixed all the issues though?

mkvlr09:12:06

still running it one, but only in production, not doing a local release

mkvlr09:12:35

we’re on 2.11.5 in this project, let me try upgrading first

thheller09:12:56

bumping to the appropriate :output-feature-set is always the best option

mkvlr09:12:08

hmm, still occurring with :output-feature-set :es8

mkvlr10:12:53

nevermind, caching is hard…
