Cannot execute: Command failed when executing /usr/bin/clojure-1.10

[Dennis Schridde]

Hi!

When navigating to {Settings > Build, Execution, Deployment > Build Tools >
Clojure Deps}, enabling "use CLI tools" and setting the "Path to 'clojure'
command" to `/usr/bin/clojure-1.10`, the config page displays "Command failed"
and I get the following error message in the Event Log:
```
Cannot execute: Command failed when executing /usr/bin/clojure-1.10: Cannot
execute: Command failed when executing /usr/bin/clojure-1.10
```

I would like to know why the "command failed" and what "cannot execute" means.

I can successfully execute the command in IntelliJ's terminal:
```
$ which clojure-1.10
/usr/bin/clojure-1.10
$ clojure-1.10
Clojure 1.10.2
user=>
```

Best regards,
Dennis

I made a little bit of progress on this by looking at `idea.log`. It turned
out that `/usr/bin/clojure-1.10` was essentially just calling `clojure.main`
and did not support arguments like `-Sdescribe` at all.

I hence switched to the CLI tools and `-Sdescribe` works now:

❯ clojure -Sdescribe
{:version "1.10.2.796"
:config-files ["/usr/share/clojure/deps.edn" "/home/dschridde/.clojure/
deps.edn" ]
:config-user "/home/dschridde/.clojure/deps.edn"
:config-project "deps.edn"
:install-dir "/usr"
:config-dir "/home/dschridde/.clojure"
:cache-dir "/home/dschridde/.clojure/.cpcache"
:force false
:repro false
:main-aliases ""
:repl-aliases ""}

But when setting the "Path to 'clojure' command" all I get is a spinner. When
changing the contents of the `deps.edn` file and clicking "import" in the
popup that appears, the "Synchronizing Clojure Deps project" background task
starts but never completes. Pressing the (X) to "cancel" has no effect.

Running `clojure -Stree` in the project directory, I noticed that my
`deps.edn` had a syntax error:
```
Error building classpath. Error reading edn. Map literal must contain an even
number of forms (.../deps.edn)
```

Fixing that (`clojure -Stree` generates outputs without warnings now) did not
have any effect on the spinner in the settings or on the background task (they
still appear and never vanish).

Any hints on how to further debug this are appreciated.

Hi Dennis,

This is very strange, and I can't see what might cause this. One thing you could try is to go to Help | Diagnostic Tools | Debug Log Settings, then add #cursive.deps.DepsSettings to the box there. If you then reproduce the problem, do you see anything further in the log? In particular, you might see something like "Output from <path to command>: <something>". Do you see anything like that?

Cheers,
Colin

Hi Colin!

Thanks for taking a look!

After I enabled the debug log, I went to the settings, saw the spinner again,
then took a look into the idea.log:

Hi Dennis,

Thanks for that. There's something strange there, the stack trace there is not actually an exception, it's just flagging where Cursive is requesting the indexes be rebuilt, but it's coming from the lein support. Is this a project that has both lein and deps modules in it? Or did you have another lein project open at the same time?

Otherwise, it doesn't help diagnosing the endless spinning. Could you reproduce the problem and then take a thread dump during the spinning? There's some doc here about how to do that: https://intellij-support.jetbrains.com/hc/en-us/articles/206544899-Getting-a-thread-dump-when-IDE-hangs-and-doesn-t-respond. You can email that to me either here or off-list if you'd prefer.

Cheers,
Colin

Hello everyone!

Thanks to Colin explaining to me how Cursive's support for Clojure CLI works,
we were able to get to the root of this. It turned out that this was caused
by a non-standard installation:

Since Cursive scans the `:install-dir` for the Clojure JAR, and /usr contains
about a million files, this takes very long (and potentially gets stuck in
cyclic symlinks). Fixing the installation to a more narrow `:install-dir`
solved the problem.

Thanks, Colin, for the great support!
