Clojurians Log v2

I am having a terrible time trying to setup vscode for clojure 😞

I have Calva installed, but the formatting is all over the place. I've tried also installing parinfer, which seems to work without Calva, but the two seem to have an enormous fight all over my buffer and I just cannot get indentation to work sanely. Does anyone have any advice?

Calva and parinfer do not play well together. Is the formatting crazy without parinfer?

Yeah, parinfer disabled

So e.g. new file, newline on my first comment failed horribly, single space indent in defn, then at the end of the definition, it maintains the indent in the body of the defn. 😕

the same thing happens with or without calva paredit mode enabled.

Full disclosure: I am the Calva developer.

It pains me that you have a terrible experience with Clojure in VS Code. It is sort of the mission I have put myself on to make it a non-terrible experience.

However, I don’t get those results trying what you are trying. I need to know more about your setup.

Well, actually I can reproduce the last thing you point out in that gif. Right now checking if it is something I have introduced recently.

🙂 I have been spying on you on github, and I am certain this is a temporary issue. Thanks for checking it out 🙂

currently moving back to emacs, but since I am an old school sbcl hacker it's not the end of the world. However, moving forward I don't want to force everyone to use emacs since it's rather an.. acquired taste. Happy to help track these ones down, feel free to PM me, and if you want to open an issue on the project to track the discussion that's fine too.

Let's move this to #calva-dev.
