Connecting ad infinitum

[Ikuyu]

No matter what I try, Sly keeps connecting ad infinitum.

I've reinstalled macOS Ventura on my MacBook Air M1, using this configuration in my emacs init:

(use-package sly
:config
(setq sly-net-coding-system 'utf-8-unix
;;sly-mrepl-pop-sylvester nil
sly-contribs '(sly-fancy)
inferior-lisp-program "clisp -q -ansi -modern -I -on-error abort"))

If I change the line:

inferior-lisp-program "clisp -q -ansi -modern -I -on-error abort"

to this:

inferior-lisp-program "sbcl"

Sly connects. However I also had to manually add a history file:

$ touch ~/.sly-mrepl-history

What am I missing?

1. What happen if you run clisp -q -ansi -modern -I -on-error abort in your terminal?
2. If you didn't manually add a history file, what would happen?

[Ikuyu]

1. If I run clisp -q -ansi -modern -I -on-error abort in the terminal everything works as expected. A REPL loads.
2. If I run M-x sly without a history file Sly says 'Cannot read history file...'. That is, if I choose SBCL as inferior lisp program, but if I choose CLISP Sly keeps polling ad infinitum, whether a history file is present or not.

likely because of #595

This helps, however now I'm getting the message:

Waiting for REPL creation ack for channel 1...

And the sly-debugger says:

NO-APPLICABLE-METHOD: When calling #1=# with arguments #2=(#3=#<IO UNBUFFERED SOCKET-STREAM
CHARACTER 127.0.0.1:52211>), no method is applicable.

This is with clisp, right?

[Ikuyu]

Yes this is with clisp.
