Configure nREPL with Linux subsytem on Windows 10

[tjb]

How can nREPL be configured to access lein via the linux subsystem on a windows 10 machine? Currently I get the following error

'lein' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

which I assume is because have lein installed on the subsystem. Is there a way to configure this to use lein from my subsystem?

Apologies if I am asking in the wrong place.

Hello @tylerbobella,

Yes, the reason is most likely the lein command is not in your system PATH variable. I think the best way will be me adding an option to the extension that will allow a user to define the path to lein. Meanwhile, I can suggest the following workarounds:

1. Add lein to the PATH variable (not sure it is possible because I have no experience with the Linux subsystem on the Windows platform).
2. You can hardcode the path to lein in your clojureVSCode installation. The extension should be in the %USERPROFILE%\.vscode\extensions foder. Find the fild nreplController.js and the line nreplProcess = spawn('lein', LEIN_ARGS in it. There you can replace 'lein' with the full path to your Leiningen installation. Unfortunately, you will need to do it after each extension upgrade.
