can you elaborate more on this ? why could this be a problem ?

I am using a leiningen plugin which uses ssh, and thus my ssh key needs to be added to the agent.

So basically things like direnv expect sh-compliant shell.

There might be some problems trying to use them in eshell.

Depending on the actual software. Many of those utilities define new aliases, functions - those things won’t work in eshell.

ssh-agent should work - you should be able to perform ssh-add assuming SSH_AUTH_SOCK gets set correctly in eshell from parent process.

> env
(...)
SSH_AUTH_SOCK=/private/tmp/com.apple.launchd.tfJGULxVPd/Listeners
(...)

But ~/.profile is only executed by sh-compliant shells which eshell is not.

And IIRC everything you want to have in .profile should be translated into elisp code put into .emacs

great thanks, I am using ansiterm as you had suggested

My first guess would be to check for a .lein/profiles.clj file, which I assume should be in what ever Windows thinks is your home directory. If that fle it exists, try move it to a different location or rename the file. Otherwise it sounds like a bug with the windows install of Leiningen or a bug in cider. Possibly with the path not being interpreted correctly. I do not have a windows system to try and replicate the issue, sorry.

Thanks let me try those options. I've tried starting the repl using powershell and lein directly and it works (lein repl). Let me try this. I've never seen this error.

If the issue is related to windows, there is the #clj-on-windows channel. The error suggests to me that its not reading the auto-injected dependencies from Cider correctly. You could try getting the command line from the Spacemacs message buffer, SPC b m , it should show the command that cider-jack-in used to try start the repl. Or failing that, use SPC u before cider-jack-in to see the command. Then try that command using a windows terminal / powershell...

It looks like its this command: update-in :dependencies conj "[nrepl \"0.8.2\"]" -- update-in :plugins conj "[refactor-nrepl \"2.5.0\"]" -- update-in :plugins conj "[cider/cider-nrepl \"0.25.4\"]" -- repl :headless :host localhost and I can see where its reading the 0.8.2 where its failing. Running this with "ava.lang.RuntimeException: EOF while reading"

After bouncing into this article: https://www.gitmemory.com/issue/clojure-emacs/cider/2890/674136255 Removing java jdk and installing Java Runtime.. solved the problem. Now idea why the JDK wouldn't work. Thanks for all your help and an awesome tool.

Glad its resolved, I would not have thought of changing from JDK to JRE.
