After looking into this I realized I was selecting a project root that didn't have a valid deps.edndeps.edn file and so cljojure-lspcljojure-lsp was failing. So the solution is to be sure to select a project root with a valid deps.edndeps.edn/project.cljproject.clj/etc. This will depend on the type of project you're working on.
I still have to point out the fact that (in my case) Spacemacs did not show the function/command being executed that was resulting in an error, which is why it kept showing that Retry/Ignore dialog.
