cljs repl switches to previous ns after cider-repl-set-ns change followed by single eval

[mrrodriguez]

Expected behavior

After initializing a cider clj & cljs repl via cider-jack-in-clj&cljs I expect that after performing cider-repl-set-ns to change to some cljs namespace, the cljs repl buffer will remain in that namespace as I evaluate forms (unless it was in-ns or similar of course).

Actual behavior

After using cider-repl-set-ns to change to a new cljs ns, the cljs repl correctly is set to that ns. I can then evaluate one time within the context of that namespace and get the eval output expected. However, the cljs repl then immediately returns to the last ns prior to cider-repl-set-ns - typically cljs.user.

Steps to reproduce the problem

Using this repo https://github.com/reducecombine/fig-main and running npm install there first. Then do cider-jack-in-clj&cljs in emacs.

Go to the cljs repl buffer. use cider-repl-set-ns to change to the cljs ns vemv.fig-main. Eval any form now, eg. 1, and the ns immmediately changes back to the prior ns, which is cljs.user by default.

The eval actually does work in the correct vemv.fig-main ns context, because doing something like (multiply 2 2) correctly resolves multiply and returns 4.

As requested on slack concerning this here. I have some extra diagnostic info from my buffers when this issue occurs.

Using:

(setq inhibit-message nil)
(setq nrepl-log-messages t)
M-x toggle-debug-on-error

Reproducing the issue from "Steps to reproduce the problem" in the PR description:

The (clj) `nrepl-messages buffer has no activity during this.

The (cljs) `nrepl-messages buffer has no activity during this has this:

I could repro!

The bug was introduced in 5f705b0 which matches with your description (I had no issues until yesterday when I bumped cider versions up (I was like a year old).)

A new MELPA snapshot will be available within a couple hours.

Thanks much for persevering with an accurate report.

Thanks! I’ll try it out soon then. I looked at the changes and they seem to make sense to me. I don’t know exactly why piggieback changes the ns, but at least there is a way to avoid it.

[mrrodriguez]

As a follow-up. I tried the new snapshot and the issue has been resolved for me. 🎉

Happy to hear!
