So I’m trying to get a CIDER repl working with shadow-cljs. The way I launch it is by indirectly, through another script in package.json, doing shadow-cljs watch main renderer. I can seem to do cider-connect-cljs just fine, but I can’t evaluate any functions or send anything to the repl. Maybe this is a better question for #emacs?

what happens if you do? I can't really answer emacs/cider questions but maybe I can give a hint depending on what happens

So shadow starts a server just fine. Then I can see live changes when I edit the source. I can’t seem to be able to send anything to the repl though. I found about this thing called piggieback so I added it as a dependency, but is that really the problem?

WARNING: CIDER requires cider-nrepl to be fully functional. Some features will not be available without it! (More information) I wonder if this has anything to do with the problem. I even checked out the URL where it says “(https://docs.cider.mx/cider/troubleshooting.html#cider-complains-of-the-cider-nrepl-version)” but it didn’t really help.

well did you add cider-nrepl to your dependencies?

Nevermind. Turns out I had the incorrect cider version.

I had cider/nrepl not cider/cider-nrepl.

ah

I'm using ANTLR4 4.9.1 that AFAICT generates ES6 classes with static members which seem to upset shadow-cljs:

220 | 
 221 | export default class ABCMusicLexer extends antlr4.Lexer {
 222 | 
 223 |     static grammarFileName = "ABCMusic.g4";
---------------------------------^----------------------------------------------
'(' expected
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

it doesn't upset shadow-cljs. that is the closure-compiler complaining.

probably just doesn't support static class properties yet
