VSCode requires Local Network access on MacOS

Open memark opened this issue 10 months ago • 2 comments

After having spent way too much time trying to get Calva working again after my upgrade to MacOS 15.4 (from 15.3) I found out that I had been to restrictive with the permissions for VSCode. If it's not granted "Local Network" access, Calva fails to connect to any REPL, without any clue as to why.

It feels like this could be a pretty common gotcha. Would it make sense to add this to the Quirks section? (I'm aware this is no fault of Calva's, but I didn't find any other place that made more sense.)

Hi! Thanks for reporting!

Yes, add it to Quirks for now. But I think this points to a lack a Troubleshooting page at the top level menu. If you have the time and inclination you are welcome to start that page. An MVP version has just the network access gotcha, I think. 😄

Hi, having the similar issue. Calva (version: 2.0.503) till fails to connect to any REPL (jack-in or via port) on MacOS 15.4.

; Using host:port 127.0.0.1:50004 ...
; Hooking up nREPL sessions ...
; Failed connecting.
; Jack-in done.

I also have "Local Network" access enabled for VS Code

EDIT: found about #2799 , My case might be related to that than this EDIT: Reverting to 2.0.501 temporarily worked for me EDIT2: New 2.0.508 works for me
