Hi. I just upgraded to cider 0.10.0 and after cider-connect it now asks if I want to associate with a local project. Can you please point me to the documentation what this means? I did not find anything in the cider docs.

just hit y RET

@robert-stuttaford: will do. Still, it would be nice to get an explanation of the concept "association with project" somewhere.

@ska I see that could be better explained. When you start multiple connections, associating each one with a project helps cider figure out which connection should be automatically used for each project.

If you only ever use one connection at a time, then it probably won't make a difference to you.

at any rate - we should definitely add this to the README

i do feel there’s scope to automate this question away for the default case of 1 project 1 connection

but i admit that’s a rather lazy, surface understanding of the issue

IMHO, it should be explained in section https://github.com/clojure-emacs/cider#connect-to-a-running-nrepl-server At least, this was where I looked.

we can automate it for sure

but there’s the small chance of you opening the connection to one project

when you’re working in another one

Maybe we should just assume that the user is creating the connection from inside the project, save a lotof people some confusion. And say on the command's docstring (and the readme instructions) that the command should be invoked from within the project.

And then have a custom option to not use that assumption

yes, you’re totally right

I planned to implement this, but had no time

someone can at least file a ticket

so we won’t forget it

it’s like 10 minutes of work
