Problems with Tutorial 2

The tutorial tells me to run this command boot serve -d target watch cljs target -d target

It appears to work with some exceptions.

Emacs is writing src/cljs/modern-cljs/.#core.cljs and one of the boot tasks is trying to compile it. Can I instruct boot to ignore hidden files?

cljs logs compilation to the terminal but the generated javascript never changes.. Is there a problem with this on Windows?

Is boot still a better option than Leiningen? Lein looked really complicated for cljs but I haven't experienced these kinds of problems with it when working with Clojure in the past. This is my first foray into cljs, though.

Have you tried the following?

git clone https://github.com/magomimmo/modern-cljs.git
cd modern-cljs
git checkout se-tutorial-02

Regarding Windows I do not have one for testing it. It is said that if you do not have at least Windows 10, boot could have some problem.

I'm currently on Windows 10.

I'm not entirely through part 2 of the tutorial yet. My understanding is that if I were to checkout se-tutorial-02, I would have to work backward and remove code in order to try again.

Disabling Emacs lock files appears to resolve both issues. (setq create-lockfiles nil)
