Unexpected token ( in JSON at position 0. Stopping the debug adapter.

Description

If I highlight some code that is separated by a couple newlines, the repl attachment breaks with the error: Unexpected token ( in JSON at position 0. Stopping the debug adapter.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Write some code like this:

(cubed 2)

(cubed 64)

2. Highlight all of that code
3. Execute the highlighted code: CTRL+ALT+E
4. Unexpected token ( in JSON at position 0. Stopping the debug adapter.

In contrast, code like this:

(cubed 2)
(cubed 64)

works fine.

Hrmm .. I tried to be tricky by prefixing newlines with a ;

(defn- cubed [x]
  (* x x x))
;
(cubed 2)

but when I execute, it results in this:

continuum-demo.core=>(defn- cubed [x]
  (* x x x))
;
(cubed 2)#'continuum-demo.core/cubed

(which means only the first s-expression gets evaluated)

I have not been able to reproduce the "Unexpected token" error, but I'm sure it's related to the way I am outputting the response from evaluations. I need to make that more robust; it should never break the debug adapter.

Regarding your second attempt with the commented line I can confirm this behavior. I will look into this to try to figure out why this is happening.
