clojure.core/read-line doesn't work in Calva REPL

[ozimos]

Repro

1. lein new app shopping-list

2. Add the following code to "src/shopping_list/core.clj"

    (defn prompt
     "get information from the user"
     [msg]
     (println msg)
     (read-line))
   

3. Jack-in to the project and load the file above ctrl+alt+c enter

4. Evaluate (prompt "What is my name") in the Calva REPL

Calva REPL becomes unresponsive

5. In a new terminal window connect to running nREPL server. lein repl :connect
6. Evaluate (prompt "What is my name") in the terminal.

All is well. Input is entered at the REPL successfully

Thanks. This should be fixed, even if I right now have no clue how to do it. If anyone else has a clue, I'd welcome help here!

Got this from @bbatsov :

There’s a stdin message that gets sent when the REPL is waiting for input.
See https://nrepl.org/nrepl/0.6.0/ops.html#_stdin
