Hi!

I'm new to clojure web development and I have followed all the instructions from the guide trying to create a websocket client/server. However, doing this in an existing project results in compilation errors. I have also checked the examples linked (both immutant and http-kit versions), and I can't lein run them either. Am I doing something terribly wrong, or is the code and examples indeed no longer work?

Thanks.

The dependencies in the examples are somewhat out of date and won't work with JDK 9+. I'll take a look at updating them.

Out of curiosity, what problems did you run into when following the instructions, that might be a separate issue.

I've updated the HTTP Kit example, let me know if it works for you.

Thanks a lot for your help!

When following the code examples, I got cryptic arity errors, and after some searching they seemed to point at an issue in transit-cljs: cognitect/transit-cljs#49

I was really not sure how to proceed from there, so I decided to completely reinstall my JDK and... things worked. 🤦‍♂️

Whatever it was, it originated from my borked java installation. Your HTTP-kit example now compiles and works just fine.

Thanks again for your help. It's a bit overwhelming to be trying to figure stuff out on my own, so any input is always extremely valuable.

No problem, and glad everything's working.
