clojure-lsp won't start on windows 11 aarch64

[milelo]

Calva clojure-lsp issue: I'm setting up a new PC windows 11 aarch64. I can't get clojure-lsp to start from Calva: all the calva clojure-lsp commands don't have any effect. No log file etc.
~\.vscode\extensions\betterthantomorrow.calva-2.0.482\clojure-lsp-version:
2024.11.08-17.49.29
A working x86 PC with the same version file has:
~\.vscode\extensions\betterthantomorrow.calva-2.0.482\clojure-lsp-windows-amd64.zip
The aam64 PC instead has:
~\.vscode\extensions\betterthantomorrow.calva-2.0.482\clojure-lsp-standalone.jar

I've found a work around:

• Install clojure-lsp with scoop
• set vscode "calva.clojureLspPath": "clojure-lsp"

Clojure-lsp isn't built for Windows aarch64 it seems. CC @ericdallo

However, I think that Calva should be using that standalone jar version in this case (saying this without having looked at that code lately). Do you have Java installed on that system?

[milelo]

Its running (arm build):

openjdk version "21.0.5" 2024-10-15 LTS
OpenJDK Runtime Environment Temurin-21.0.5+11 (build 21.0.5+11-LTS)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM Temurin-21.0.5+11 (build 21.0.5+11-LTS, mixed mode)

The clojure-lsp installed using scoop is an x86 binary running ok in windows emulation mode. If calva was to install clojure-lsp in the same way as on an x86 PC I would expect it to run fine.

I think this will be fixed in clojure-lsp at some point. Your workaround is great. We should figure out how to help people find that. Maybe in some general way. We see that the binary for the platform+arch is missing -> we inform about some page on the docs site that can help.

clojure-lsp doesn support win aarch64 yet, but clients like calva should use the standalone jar or the clojure-lsp.bat for win aarch64 instead of downloading the win x64.
