Company-capf error when writing namespaced functions in Clojure

[jaidetree]

Description :octocat:

company-capf error when working with namespaced functions in Clojure. Preventing me from accessing namespaced functions.

Reproduction guide :beetle:

• Use the latest develop branch
• Start Emacs
• Create or edit a clojure file
• Add a require like [clojure.core :as cc] to the namespace
• Try typing "(cc/map)"

Observed behaviour: :eyes: :broken_heart:

• When typing "(cc/" spacemacs will change it to "(cc" and show a company-capf readtable JSON error below the status bar
• See screenshot of error

Expected behaviour: :heart: :smile:

• I am not prevented from typing "(cc/map)"
• If a REPL is connected via Cider or Anakondo is running I see a list of completions after typing "(cc/"

When did it start?: 🕚 A few days ago when I updated to latest spacemacs develop commit 1f6e39ea8ab3e7b7cb0a89889dec307523dfc6b and updated packages.

Thanks for reporting, I'll look into it.

Seems like there's an error when parsing the json analysis returned by clj-kondo.

I need to temporarily remove the "/" to avoid a clj-kondo parse error, but normally I add it back when it returns the analysis, I suspect I should have some error handling here in case the parse fails to at least put back the "/" in case something fails.

After more trial and error I found the case: I didn't install clj-kondo on my home computer. Once I did this problem stopped happening.

That said, maybe the error message could be improved if clj-kondo is not installed?

Ah, great news, I was having a hard time trying to reproduce this.

Ya, that's a good point. I should more gracefully handle clj-kondo being missing. I'll see what I can do about it. At the very least, the buffer should be restored and maybe I can find a way to improve the error message.
