Does it not continue after showing this error? Make sure you are on a recent version.

This is more like a warning if the server instance wasn't properly shutdown previously. If it doesn't continue normally after printing that message you can wipe the .shadow-cljs directory to fix it although it is supposed to fix itself in this case.

Just ran into this. I had killed my process. Wiping `.shadow-cljs/` and rerunning `watch` removed the warning, and sped up the startup time of subsequent calls to `watch`. Thanks! – Teodor Apr 26 '19 at 13:13

I have faced a similar problem. The solution below worked for me:

Deleting all files (only files) except classpath.edn. And re-run your app.
