Getting Started with Calva

Please read: Getting Started

TLDR; Calva does not yet start the REPL for you, you need to do that yourself, and also make sure you get the dependencies right. If you are using plain Clojure, or Figwheel, you can start the REPL up like so:

Clojure only

$ lein update-in :dependencies conj "[nrepl \"0.6.0\"]" -- update-in :plugins conj "[cider/cider-nrepl \"0.21.1\"]" -- repl

Clojure + ClojureScript + Figwheel

$ lein update-in :dependencies conj "[nrepl \"0.6.0\"]" -- update-in :dependencies conj "[cider/piggieback \"0.4.0\"]" -- update-in :dependencies conj "[figwheel-sidecar \"0.5.19-SNAPSHOT\"]" -- update-in :plugins conj "[cider/cider-nrepl \"0.21.1\"]" -- update-in "[:repl-options :nrepl-middleware]" conj "[\"cider.nrepl/cider-middleware\"]" -- update-in "[:repl-options :nrepl-middleware]" conj "[\"cider.piggieback/wrap-cljs-repl\"]" -- repl

Shadow-cljs

For shadow-cljs it is a bit less wordy:

$ shadow-cljs -d cider-nrepl:0.21.2-SNAPSHOT watch app

Then, from VS Code, open up a clj,cljs, or edn file in your project root and issue the Calva Connect command, ctrl+alt+v c.
