comment-start not defined

[mwfogleman]

cider-repl does not have the mode-local variable comment-start defined. In modes that do not have comment-start defined, newcomment.el will sometimes request (by way of comment-normalize-vars) that you input one by read-string.

Can we define it in cider-repl, like we do in cider-nrepl?

Thanks for working to solve this issue. However, repl-mode still does not have comment-start defined.

Guess you're not using the latest version or something. comment-start comes from lisp-mode-variables. I've played with this and it definitely works for me.

Sorry for the noise, and thanks for the fix. I updated with MELPA, but it must not have been a version that had the fix yet.

Trying a version with the fix now and all is well, as you suspected. Thank you! :)
