lein figwheel is taking too long

[jeongsoolee09]

My system config is:

• M1 MBA 2020 8GB (Monterey 12.1)
• ClojureScript 1.10.773
• Clojure 1.10.1058
• Oracle Java 11.0.8

Creating a project with lein new figwheel project_name, and calling lein figwheel at project_name takes too long. I haven't measured the exact time it takes, but it's taking more than 15 minutes before the REPL prompt appears.

The console log is:

Figwheel: Cutting some fruit, just a sec ...
Figwheel: Validating the configuration found in project.clj
Figwheel: Configuration Valid ;)
Figwheel: Starting server at http://0.0.0.0:3449

Figwheel Controls:

...

where pics_with_slider is my project name. The compilation process itself less than a second, but something is thrashing behind the scenes. Figwheel: Cutting some fruit, just a sec... is where the process is mostly stuck.

Could you help debugging this issue?
