I'm stumped, setting up a new machine for a new employee here, and we're getting 'Symbol's function definition is void: clojure-project-dir'

Thing is, gitk indicates the function has always been there, but I can't see where it's defined

oh, maybe clojure-project-dir is in another package

hmm.

ah, that's working now, I guess cider assumes clojure-mode is install (isn't there some kind of dependency decl ability in emacs packages?)

@malcolmsparks: Yes clojure-mode is a dependency of Cider. If you install Cider with the package manager clojure-mode will get pulled along.

ah, but not if you just do package-install right?

I mean, I usually use package-install-packages as my interface

but I think our new starter did package-install

If you package-install it should resolve deps as well.

so that's not it either

ok, well I don't know what happened in that case, but thanks anyway

:thumbsup:

generally this happens when you’ve had clojure-mode installed before installing cider

and you’re using melpa

because the package versions there are meaningless dependencies aren’t properly resolved

and it’s best to simply update everything all the time

(by deps, I mean dependency versions)

is there a way i can store cider-connect args in config? i can pass them easily enough with C-u M-x cider-jack-in but it'd be nicer if i could store those args somewhere ideally project-specific

daemianmack: you can set the variable cider-known-endpoints

actually, I don’t think that’s what you’re looking for

if you’re using jack-in, you can set config in your project.clj (e,g, repl port)

jcsims: i considered that approach, but it's a multi-user project and i'm hoping to find something specific to my editor that won't collide with general usage

daemianmack: are you starting the repl with emacs, or externally?

both happen with this project. i prefer straight-up cider-jack-in.

seems like a combination of :repl-options https://github.com/technomancy/leiningen/blob/master/sample.project.clj#L335 and cider-known-endpoints would get you there

On Cider 9.1, using cider-connect to "lein repl" running in a terminal, I get a strange thing happening. If I C-c C-c inside a function and there's an error, the error is printed, and then the entire source file is also dumped to the repl.

Usually I use cider-jack-in, so I've never seen that before. Does that sound familiar?
