Cider: Cider won't start under Clojure 1.9.0-alpha18

Created on 23 Aug 2017 · 18Comments · Source: clojure-emacs/cider

Trying to start Cider (via cider-jack-in) with Clojure 1.9.0-alpha18 fails.

Expected behavior

Cider launches as normal.

Actual behavior

Cider fails to launch with the following error/stack trace in *Messages*:

error in process sentinel: Could not start nREPL server: Error loading cider.nrepl.middleware.test: java.lang.RuntimeException: Invalid token: ::clojure.test/once-fixtures, compiling:(cider/nrepl/middleware/test.clj:129:57)

Presumably because of the following fix in alpha 18:

Tighten autoresolved keywords and autoresolved namespace map syntax to support only aliases, as originally intended

(It doesn't seem like the compiler likes ::clojure.test/once-fixtures.

Steps to reproduce the problem

Create an empty project (e.g. lein new whatever)
Set the Clojure version in project.clj to 1.9.0-alpha18.
Try to launch Cider via cider-jack-in.

Environment & Version information

CIDER version information

I don't get as far as seeing the version string. I'm using Cider 20170729.133 installed via melpa, tools.nrepl version 0.2.12, cider-nrepl version 0.15.1-SNAPSHOT.

Lein/Boot version

Leiningen version 2.7.1

Emacs version

GNU Emacs 25.2.1 (x86_64-apple-darwin13.4.0, NS appkit-1265.21 Version 10.9.5 (Build 13F1911)) of 2017-04-21

Clojure 1.9.0a18 new feature

Tighten autoresolved keywords and autoresolved namespace map syntax to support only aliases, as originally intended

Trivial to fix, but should be done through entire cider-nrepl codebase.

vspinu on 24 Aug 2017

Tighten autoresolved keywords and autoresolved namespace map syntax to support only aliases, as originally intended

What does this mean? An example would be enlightening.

xiongtx on 24 Aug 2017

Sorry, that's from the Clojure 1.9.0-alpha18 announcement: https://groups.google.com/d/msg/clojure/rb22V98rPLM/MFBBcz-gAQAJ

I think it means you can't put a fully-qualified namespace in a double-colon keyword. E.g., this will work:

(ns whatever
  (:require [clojure.test :as test]))

::test/whatever

But this won't:

::clojure.test/whatever

I probably should have made this ticket against cider-nrepl, sorry.

mohiji on 24 Aug 2017

Correct - this has always worked, but not intentionally. The spec (and code) now follow the original intent. In this case, just deleting one of the colons should work as well: :clojure.test/once-fixtures would be the easiest and best change.

puredanger on 24 Aug 2017

Oh, that makes sense. I didn't know ::foo.bar/baz even worked.

xiongtx on 24 Aug 2017

A fixed version of cider-nrepl is now deployed to Clojars. I'll likely cut 0.15.1 soon. I was just wondering whether to try to include there some of @vspinu's performance improvement patches or push those back to 0.16.

whether to try to include there some of @vspinu's performance improvement patches or push those back to 0.16.

I am sure people would appreciate them earlier but there is one small safety concern which is unlikely to affect anyone with only cider's middleware stack. Clojure seems to have troubles with loading namespaces in parallel, and loading middleware concurrently might cause issues. Moving this discussion to #2078.

vspinu on 24 Aug 2017

I can only confirm that this problem doesn't come up with [org.clojure/clojure "1.9.0-alpha17"].

I'll likely cut 0.15.1 soon

@bbatsov please please please do cut it!

Bost on 29 Aug 2017

@bbatsov Can you cut 0.15.1 soon? This is a breaking bug that's causing everyone to have to craft their own work arounds.

Thanks!

briprowe on 12 Sep 2017

@briprowe You can always upgrade to the latest version from Melpa repository, which I believe should contain the fix: https://melpa.org/#/cider
I'm using Spacemacs but I did a manual upgrade and clojure 1.9.0-alpha20 now works for me.

This is still happening to me on clojure 1.9.0-alpha20. I am on cider-20171001.112.

johanatan on 6 Nov 2017

Looks like the problem was my cidr-nrepl version. After updating it from 0.15.0-SNAPSHOT to 0.15.1, cider is at least able to boot.

johanatan on 6 Nov 2017

1.9.0-RC1 and 0.15.1 combo does work for me

alexei-matveev on 7 Nov 2017

I'm still getting this error with Clojure 1.9 after updating to what I believe is the latest cider:
cider 20180211.538 installed Clojure Interactive Development Environment that Rocks

Any ideas how to fix this?

My problem seems to have been caused by the lein-gorilla plugin, which is interfering with nrepl in some way.

Engelberg on 13 Feb 2018

@Engelberg I think this is a bug that has been fixed in subsequent cider-nrepl's. it must be holding onto an old one. If its the issue I think it is, it is using a fully qualified keyword as an alias, something that is no longer valid as of clojure 1.9. ::clojure.test/something versus ::test-alias/something or just :clojure.test/something

dpsutton on 13 Feb 2018

and from its project.clj: [cider/cider-nrepl "0.10.2"]. you could probably add an exclusion to your project dependency on gorilla repl and it should work
