dialog with two definitions for one function on Go To Definition (F12)

[blueskyonmars]

I have a simple file with two functions, one which calls the other. When I stand a function call (doubleme) and hit F12, I see a popup to disambiguate which function it should go to. There's only one actual function in the code though.

Project is attached, code looks like this:

(ns mytest.core)

(defn- doubleme [])

(defn foo
  "I don't do a whole lot."
  [x]
  (doubleme)
  (println x "Hello, World!"))

I noticed three phases, just after I open the project with VS Code+Calva:

1. immediately after, nothing happens when I hit F12 except a message saying "No definition found for doubleme",
2. after 20 seconds or so when I hit F12 it goes directly to the function without a popup, and then
3. eventually a popup gets in the way when I hit F12. Phase 3 seems to be after I see the message "Connected to nREPL." The whole process takes maybe 2 minutes on my old OS X Big Sur system.

I first saw this in a different project, and we discussed on the calva slack channel.

Phase 3 seems to be after I see the message "Connected to nREPL."

So you are connecting Calva to an nrepl server or jacking in? Calva doesn't connect to nrepl automatically (in any case that I know of), so I just want to make sure I understand correctly.

The message Connected to nREPL. does not come from Calva.

I'm guessing you are using some other nREPL extension (maybe the Clojure extension?). Then maybe both clojure-lsp and that other extension finds the function and that's why you get two options.

OMG, you're right! I had tried the Clojure extension before I found Calva and forgot it was still enabled. Sorry!

[PEZ]

Don't be sorry. It is quite common and you are reminding us that we should maybe detect this situation and issue a warning about it, as we do with some other potential extension conflicts.

This issue is an excellent example of providing context, btw. It made it possible to spot a probable cause quickly.

I just tried with the Clojure extension installed. It actually just starts a REPL and connects automatically. 😄
