I can't get a client repl to run on windows 10/64 pro

Thank you very much.

I’m making closing comments here in case someone else has the problem.

Problem: I couldn’t get a Clojure client repl to run on windows.
Cause: ~/.m2/repositories/clojure-complete existed.

Solution: – Wait on this. I need to clean up stuff again.

  • Dump chocolatey in favor of scoop.
  • Uninstall everything in choco -list --local-only
  • Use powershell
  • Remove-Module ClojureTools -Force -Verbose -Debug -Confirm
  • Hunt/destroy \Program Files (x86)\google…\clojure stuff
  • iwr -useb get.scoop.sh | iex
  • Scoop update
  • Scoop install maven
  • Scoop bucket add scoop-clojure https://github.com/littleli/scoop-clojure
  • Scoop install clojure
  • Scoop bucket add extras
  • Scoop install boot-clj
  • Scoop install leiningen
  • Scoop install maven
  • boot repl
    ;; You might need to kill the shell, log out, and log back in
    ;; In the Windows Explorer (not the browser, the Windows file explorer).
    ;;;; Delete USERPROFILE.m2\clojure-complete
    ;; Sign off and sign back into Windows.

Somewhere along the line a “clojure-complete” got installed. It was the windows equivalent of “~/.m2/repositories” that’s c:\users\myaccount.m2

I deleted that directory by hand. After deleting the directory clj, boot repl, lein repl all worked as expected.
