Failing to require from user.cljr

[jamesdavidson]

With the latest alpha I'm getting a NullReferenceException (Object reference not set to an instance of an object) when I use the --init path option or user.cljr as for example: (ns user (:require [clojure.clr.shell :as shell])).

Here's a minimal repro in a docker container so it's a fresh setup.

$ docker run --rm -it mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/sdk:8.0 /bin/bash
root@c63ea64bfca7:/# dotnet tool install --global Clojure.Main --version 1.12.0-alpha11 > /dev/null
root@c63ea64bfca7:/# dotnet tool install --global Clojure.Cljr --version 0.1.0-alpha6 > /dev/null
root@c63ea64bfca7:/# export PATH="$PATH:/root/.dotnet/tools"
root@c63ea64bfca7:/# cd /tmp
root@c63ea64bfca7:/tmp# cljr
Clojure 1.12.0-alpha11

nil

root@c63ea64bfca7:/tmp# echo '(ns user (:require [clojure.clr.shell :as shell]))' > user.cljr
root@c63ea64bfca7:/tmp# cljr

My workaround for now is to stay on 1.12.0-alpha10 / 0.1.0-alpha5 .
