Emacs/CIDER Error

Question

I'm trying to do some Clojure development using Emacs and cider , and following this tutorial . I've gotten to the point where I need to do Mx cider-jack-in , which is supposed to start a *cider-repl* buffer, but instead gives me the error

error in process filter: Symbol's function definition is void: clojure-mode-variables

I'm running emacs 24.3.1 , cider-20150412.827 (out of melpa ), Leiningen 2.3.4 , and I get the error whether I specify [cider/cider-repl "0.7.0"] or [cider/cider-repl "0.8.2"] . I'm able to successfully run lein run on the project I'm trying to edit.

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Answer 1

You're using an outdated version of clojure-mode . Update to a recent version (eg the latest) and everything should be fine. Btw, you should also use [cider/cider-nrepl "0.9.0-SNAPSHOT"] together with CIDER from MELPA.
