Unable to load file into the repl (linux calva version 2.0.36)

[cfehse]

I attached a zip file containing a test leiningen project. The project contains a file server.clj. This file cannot be loaded into the repl through the extension for calva version 2.0.36 on linux (on Windows the file loads well). On linux the file will load using the calva version 2.0.34 of the extension.

Error shown:
Evaluating file: .../brainpie-test-api/src/brainpie_test_api/server.clj
Syntax error (NullPointerException) compiling at (src/brainpie_test_api//home/cf/dev/clojure/brainpie-test-api/src/brainpie_test_api/server.clj:14:1).
null

Any clue what I doing wrong?

Thanks! I get the same behaviour on my Mac. Works with 2.0.34 and not with 2.0.36. And I see very strange things in the jack-in command line using 2.0.36, which might cause this. Investigating!

Meanwhile, if you need to work on the project and want the bug fixes in 2.0.36, you can copy the command line that 2.0.34 uses and start the repl with that and then use the Calva connect command to hook up the repl. Here's that command line:

lein update-in :dependencies conj '[nrepl"0.6.0"]' -- update-in :plugins conj '[cider/cider-nrepl"0.21.1"]' -- update-in '[:repl-options :nrepl-middleware]' conj '["cider.nrepl/cider-middleware"]' -- with-profile +dev repl :headless

@cfehse : I found the problem. Can you confirm that it fixes the issue for you? Please install and test this VSIX:

@PEZ: I can confirm this build opens the file on linux and windows. One thing I noticed though is on Windows if a new repl is connected the namespace of the open file is directly populated to the repl. On linux the namespace is not populated (user=> ns -> #namespace[user]).

[PEZ]

Cool. I'll cut a release then. This bug was very good to find!

About that namespace thing. This is a long shot, but there is a Calva setting for making the REPL window follow the namespace of the files. Sync REPL Namespace, or something. That behaviour would occur if you have the setting enabled on Windows and disabled on Linux...

@PEZ: No I found the settings and they are the same on both systems. Perhaps just to keep in mind that there is something working differently under linux and Windows.
