figwheel-main not available

[cfraz89]

Since updating cider, it seems to no longer able to detect and start fighwheel-main in my project. This setup was previously working with a version of cider from late last year.

Environment:
;; Connected to nREPL server - nrepl://localhost:36971
;; CIDER 0.21.0snapshot (package: 20190216.2255), nREPL 0.6.0
;; Clojure 1.9.0, Java 1.8.0_201

I will take a look this evening, in the meantime would you be able to try with [cider/piggieback "0.4.1-SNAPSHOT"]?

[dpsutton]

Figwheel is behind the alias :fig but the invocation doesn't include this alias. Were you using a way to set aliases and perhaps that has changed?

/usr/local/bin/clojure -Sdeps '{:deps {nrepl {:mvn/version "0.6.0"} cider/piggieback {:mvn/version "0.4.0"} cider/cider-nrepl {:mvn/version "0.21.1"}}}' -m nrepl.cmdline --middleware '["cider.nrepl/cider-middleware", "cider.piggieback/wrap-cljs-repl"]'

^^ no -A:fig

[dpsutton]

@cfraz89 have you resolved this issue? If not, can you check for any dir-locals in the project directory? As far as I can think, CIDER wouldn't add figwheel or that alias automatically so perhaps the method to tell which aliases to use has changed since your last version?

[cfraz89]

@dpsutton I am using a .dir-locals:

((clojurescript-mode . ((cider-default-cljs-repl . figwheel-main)
			(cider-preferred-build-tool . clojure-cli)
			(cider-figwheel-main-default-options . ":dev"))))

This hasn't changed lately. Have tried adding -A:fig into the launch parameters didn't seem to make a difference though.

@cichli No difference unfortunately.

[cichli]

I had a chance to try your deps.edn and .dir-locals.el out, and I got it working using -R:fig rather than -A:fig – we only want to include :extra-deps, not :main-opts. You could add (cider-clojure-cli-global-options . "-R:fig") to your .dir-locals.el.

[cfraz89]

Aha, @cichli -R does indeed work. Thankyou. Any idea why it wasn't necessary in the past?

[gerdint]

I had this same issue on CIDER 0.19.0. The solution suggested by @cichli worked.

This issues been automatically closed due to lack of activity. Feel free to re-open it if you ever come back to it.

figwheel-main (clj-new template) + cider + emacs + cli (deps.edn)
= not connected
g,.g

[bbatsov]

Most often the problem is not including the figwheel profile in the jack-in command.

[PlumpMath]

@bbatsov please more hint.
Clojure works well....
when start cider-jack-in-cljs... only clj REPL is made. Onz..
.
what is figwheel profile?;

g,.g Thanks~*

bhauman/figwheel-main#226
A lucky once.
However, it does not stick to it again.

[torgeir]

I'll drop this here just in case someone else skims these kinds of docs like me;
Came here with the same error as the one reported, using clojure-cli, and after having read https://docs.cider.mx/cider/basics/clojurescript. So I went back and discovered I had missed the .dir-locals.el with ((clojurescript-mode . ((cider-clojure-cli-global-options . "-A:fig")))). That, of course, works ✅

[dpsutton]

as of today the cider-clojure-cli-global-options have been renamed to cider-clojure-cli-aliases to in the aid of clarity. It will still work under the old name but hopefully give you a warning about the newer name.
