stuck at clj -M:cljd compile on OSX

[dfucci]

Describe the bug
Following the quick start, the command clj -M:cljd compile hangs.

Does your problem persist after clj -M:cljd clean && flutter clean?
Yes, that command itself hangs.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Follow the quick start steps until Self-hosted compiler #7
2. Run clj -M:cljd compile
3. Nothing happens

Expected behavior
I should see the application launched in the simulator

Additional context
All clj -M:cljd commands, except init get stuck.
I am on

• OSX 26.3
• Java 21.0.3 2024-04-16 LTS
• Clojure CLI version 1.12.4.1607

hello @dfucci , sorry for this, can you try cld -M:cljd watch and tell me what it does?
Also can you share your flutter version please?

[dfucci]

hello, and thanks for the follow up.
I guess you meant clj -M:cljd watch. This command gets stuck too (as every command after clj -M:cljd except for init.

My flutter version is

Flutter 3.41.2 • channel stable • https://github.com/flutter/flutter.git
Framework • revision 90673a4eef (12 days ago) • 2026-02-18 13:54:59 -0800

Ok, I have this exact flutter version and cljd revision and all is working well which could mean there is problem with last macOS release. I'll download it at the end of the day and check that it's not hopefully that.
Thanks for your feedbacks.

@dfucci does clj -M:cljd clean alone hangs too?

[dfucci]

@dfucci does clj -M:cljd clean alone hangs too?

Yes. All cljd commands (except init) have the same stuck behavior.

[dupuchba]

@dfucci can you try this sha 4ee792f?
I updated macOS and everything is fine on my end

[dfucci]

Hi @dupuchba thanks for taking the time.
I have updated the deps.edn to point to this sha 4ee792f3044589c96b019c2a86db9b23f1b283ab
Still no luck, all cljd commands hang after init

Also, for context, I removed the dart bin installed via homebrew so that the one shipping with flutter is used instead, but the issue persists.

[dupuchba]

have you tried running a pure flutter project?

[dfucci]

@dupuchba at least the minimal flutter project from the template (https://docs.flutter.dev/install/quick) works with flutter run

[dfucci]

after more debugging, it seems the issue is due to the clj binary which hangs when run in the directory after clj -M:cljd init.
For example, also clj -M -e '(println "hi")' hangs.

running with clj -Sforce -M:cljd flutter to force refreshing the classpath works for me

I'm on macOS 26.4 (Tahoe) and stuck even earlier on clj -M:cljd init with a failure message saying: Unable to resolve symbol: parse-long in this context

When proceeding anyway on clj -M:cljd compile I'm getting:
Syntax error compiling at (cljd/build.clj:393:51).
Unable to resolve symbol: parse-long in this context

I've tried the same under linux (Omarchy) and got even stuck on clj -M:cljd init

[dupuchba]

Ok so 2 persons is definitely a bug and not an OS configuration issue. Can you both print your exact configurations you have including a repo that does not work? I'll take a look after work.
Java version/clj-version/flutter-version/OS-version and a repo where the command clj -M:cljd init does not work.
1st let's keep this on macOS

[cgrand]

@michaelradtke the parse-long issue is that you have a too old versions of clojure in your deps.edn.

@michaelradtke the parse-long issue is that you have a too old versions of clojure in your deps.edn.

Thanks a lot - this fixed my problems at least on macOS.
On linux I'll now get an classpath error, but this seems to be a local issue....
