Can't find clojure.main in clojurescript's script/repl on Windows

[Tamreen Khan]

Hi everyone, I'm trying to get the repl for Clojurescript to start under Windows but keep running into the following error:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: clojure/main

Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: clojure.main

        at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(URLClassLoader.java:202)

        at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method)

        at java.net.URLClassLoader.findClass(URLClassLoader.java:190)

        at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:306)

        at sun.misc.Launcher$AppClassLoader.loadClass(Launcher.java:301)

        at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:247)

Could not find the main class: clojure.main.  Program will exit.

I've tried both running the script under cygwin and putting the contents into a batch file and running it with cmd.exe (it shouldn't be a problem since script/repl just contains one command which starts the java runtime with a few options). I've even tried changing the forward slashes in the command to backslashes.

Also, I'm running these commands from the clojurescript root directory. Even though it probably won't affect it I've set CLOJURESCRIPT_HOME as well. Any ideas?

Did you run script/bootstrap?

You need a clojure-1.3 jar in your clojurescript/lib directory.

Yes. It worked fine.

Hmm, I have clojure.jar, but not clojure-1.3.jar in clojurescript/lib

That clojure.jar file is clojure 1.3.

Something is wrong with the classpath.

Here are a couple of things to try:

- when using a batch file the classpath must be delimited with
semicolons instead of colons
- try replacing lib/* with an explicit list everything that is in lib
- something like lib/clojure.jar;lib/goog.jar;lib/compiler.jar

Just some thoughts

[Tamreen Khan]

Changing colons to semicolons did it! I guess since the classpath is a string that's passed to Java it still treats it like it would any path on Windows, even though I'm using it through Cygwin.

Thanks again!

For me, if I replaced the ":" in the classpath argument with ";" I was
able to get the repl working.
