Sublime Text, SublimeREPL, Clojure & Windows 8 - windows-8

Question

I've got both Leiningen & Clojure working on Windows 8 separately from Sublime Text (e.g. I can get a repl working in Windows PowerShell).
My problem is that I can't get the SublimeREPL working in SublimeText (the REPL loads up but doesn't then do anything). Are there any simple traps that I might be missing or, failing that, are there a series of steps I could follow to troubleshoot?

Answer 1

Please see this SublimeREPL issue for instructions on how I got a Clojure REPL to work, at least on XP (I haven't tried it on Win7 or 8 yet). Basically, I edited the menu file for Clojure, and changed the command from lein repl to lein trampoline run -m clojure.main, which for some reason did the trick. I also changed the path to $file so you can open up a REPL while your project.clj is the current tab in Sublime, and the REPL should inherit the project's settings.
For reference, the complete Packages/User/SublimeREPL/config/Clojure/Main.sublime-menu file (Packages is accessible via Preferences -> Browse Packages...) is as follows:
[
{
"id": "tools",
"children":
[{

}]
}

I solved this problem with Git Bash Shell. I have used the shell script version of leiningen instead of lein.bat
This is the command I use:
["C:\\Program Files\\Git\\bin\\sh.exe", "-l", "--", "/d/lein.sh", "repl"]
assuming lein.sh is in d:\
lein trampoline command sometimes behaves differently from lein repl and could fail due to unknown reasons.
