debugging not working with babashka?

[martianhi]

hi cider team,

i'm trying to run the cider debugger in a babashka script and it errors with the dreaded java.lang.Exception: No reader function for tag dbg (e.g. #1359, etc.). i'm not using boot so i can't benefit from the common workaround.

i'm new to babashka and still getting my head around clojure tooling. should the cider debugger actually work with babashka?

i also get an error when i try to trace a function with cider:

cider--ensure-request-op-supported: ‘exit-minibuffer’ requires the nREPL op "cider/toggle-trace-var" (provided by cider-nrepl)

is it possible to load cider-nrepl in a babashka script project or are they mutually exclusive?

I think @borkdude mentioned somewhere recently that cider-nrepl works fine with babashka these days, but I haven't checked this myself yet. Will investigate!

@martianhi Just FMI, what version of bb are you using? I can look into this, but not sure if I can fix it :)

hi Bozhidar, hi Michiel, thanks for your responses. bb v1.13.219. i was just curious about this, as bb seems like not a bad way to learn some basic clojure stuff, and i was dreaming of the step debugger helping me learn. :) Bozhidar, if bb accepts cider-nrepl in bb.edn, do i need to do anything further to get tracing to work? it complains the relevant op is missing.

Make sure to upgrade to version 225, the latest, which bundles nrepl.core but even with that it won't work today.

I'll take a look a this.

I have it working in bb now. Will be supported in next version.

CIDER debugger should work now with dev build:

bash <(curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/babashka/babashka/master/install) --dev-build --dir /tmp

Please test

i tried it out, and it works for me too (on debian), thanks a lot. 2 tiny tihngs i noticed (not sure if relevant): - there's no box around the instrumented function as usually - if i start bb with `/tmp/bb --nrepl-server` then connect to it with cider-connect-clj, i get a version mismatch error regarding cider-nrepl. if i start it with cider-jack-in, it seems to pick up the cider-nrepl version mentioned in bb.edn. as i said, i'm new to bb and haven't messed with cider-nrepl in ages, so also poss that i don't know what i'm doing.

@martianhi I now merged a few improvements, your issues should now be solved.

[borkdude]

btw: it seems to pick
up the cider-nrepl version mentioned in bb.edn.

no need to put those in bb.edn, they come bundled now with bb :)

again i'm not sure if this is due to user incompetence, but i have noticed that often (always?) in babashka repls using cider, that docs lookup is only half-working. e.g. ciderdoc (C-c C-d d) will not work at all for "do", and it will work for "cond", but won't show any clojure docs examples. if i load same project with a lein repl, those two things work.

Thanks for the thorough testing! I pushed some fixed to the master branch. You can test with the dev build in like 10 minutes.
