Emacs `racket-mode` REPL does not load recognition routines
I just installed racket-mode
in my emacs 24.3, when I run the REPL with a command racket-repl
, the REPL starts correctly, but some of the racket procedures / functions are not recognized. iee
The current value of the variable is racket-racket-program
set to Racket.exe
. On the other hand, if I just run Racket.exe
from the Windows command prompt, it REPL
works as expected.
Any help with this is greatly appreciated.

When you execute
racket-repl
, the REPL first opens with an equivalent#lang racket/base
. On the command line, you can type(require racket)
to get a broader language including a class egobject%
.( Open a question about it here. Feel free to call there.)
-
(enter! "test.rkt")
Try instead of typing on the command line,run test.rkt
.-
In fact, the easiest way to do this is to open an Emacs buffer on test.rkt. Then you can press C-c C-kaka
M-x racket-run
.(Note that this leaves a point in the test.rkt buffer. If you prefer to jump to the REPL, you can instead use the
M-x racket-run-and-switch-to-repl
default bound to F5, as in DrRacket.)
-
TL; DR the most common usage pattern with racket-mode is:
- Visit the .rkt file in the buffer.
- "Start" it with C-c C-c(or F5).
- Explore the REPL interactively however you want.
- Go to 2.

If your file contains #lang racket
, then the REPL chooses which language to use. If there is no such line, my guess is what is used racket/base
- and object%
not defined in racket/base
.
Try to enter this program:
#lang racket
(+ 1 2)
Then run the REPL and try your snippet again.
