rlwrap: warning: rlwrap appears to do nothing for clojure

[jleonard-r7]

Followed the nodejs tutorial in the documentation and this is printed in the repl:

rlwrap: warning: rlwrap appears to do nothing for clojure, which asks for
single keypresses all the time. Don't you need --always-readline
and possibly --no-children? (cf. the rlwrap manpage)

warnings can be silenced by the --no-warnings (-n) option

The problem also occurs for new projects generated with the clj-new utility.

+1 for this problem using cli-new

[johanatan]

Still have this problem. Any way to at least suppress the warning?

[lesormonde]

Still have this problem using clj-new. Is there any resolution in sight?

So this seems like an error from rlwrap. rlwrap is used by the clj command but it isn't used by the clojure command.

@lesormonde can you give me some more details about what caused this.

I'd really like to know the platform and the version of rlwrap. As I'm not seeing this. I'd also like to know if using clojure and not clj makes this problem go away.

Hi Bruce, My setup Macbook Pro (M3) SONOMA 14.4.1 Terminal is iterm2 3.5.11 Script to create the project: clojure -Tclj-new create :template figwheel-main :name learn-cljs/contacts :args '["+deps"]' Build script that sets up the error: clj -M:fig:build When build is complete, in the clojurescript REPL I get the following: cljs.user=> (+ 1 1) rlwrap: warning: rlwrap appears to do nothing for clojure, which asks for single keypresses all the time. Don't you need --always-readline and possibly --no-children? (cf. the rlwrap manpage) warnings can be silenced by the --no-warnings (-n) option 2 ============== Hope that helps, If I can provide more information, just let me know. Sorry for the delay in replying, I have been a bit busy of late. regards, Les Ormonde Phone: 01865 408027 Mobile: 07976 920186

OK you can't use clj -M:fig:build as the clj command adds rlwrap which is something you can't use when you are running figwheel which includes it's own line reader.

You have to use clojure -M:fig:build.

If you aren't using rebel-readline-cljs then you are going to want to use clj
