can someone tell me briefly what currently doesn’t work with cider-connect vs when you do straight jack-in?

@ag Cider-connect just connects to a pre-launched repl , did I understand the question correctly?

yes, for example edn-format doesn’t work for me when connected

Uhm difficult to say but the emacs tools should all be available, Clojure ones depends on if you have them on the classpath

The jack in command can pasted in the terminal

@richiardiandrea certain things seem to break or not to work properly when you use cider-connect. For reasons I do not fully understand. I always tried to use cider-jack-in and cider-jack-in-clojurescript, but thinking if we can wrap entire app in a docker container and connect to it

what would we have to give up? maybe clj-refactor?

first thing I noticed cider-format-edn-buffer doesn’t work

it works fine when jacked-in

Never tried that, but a remote repl if configured right should not be different, at the end of the day you are just not connecting locally but remotely

Probably in the dcker you don't setup the middleware?

I mean cider-nrepl should be in your dependencies

Jack in adds that for you

If you execute exactly the same command that Jack in triggers in the docker image, I bet you would have the same behavior

I’ve added cider-nrepl dependency, started repl in terminal, connected to it, format-edn-buffer still doesn’t work ;(

cider-format-edn-buffer: Wrong type argument: char-or-string-p, nil - what else should I do to correctly “inject” the middleware?

ag, do you know how to generate a bit more of a stack trace in emacs?

if so we could look into that one

hold on, let me follow cider-nrepl readme, maybe I get it working

👍

ah

that's weird

but you can eval things?

i'll bet this is a default connection hogwash

yup I can eval things

can you tell me the result of eval'ing (cider-current-connection)

because it seems to not be *cider-repl localhost*

if you could just eval that with M-:

alright, I have followed every instruction in cider-nrepl readme, added ALL listed middleware, connected, yet edn-format-buffer doesn’t work

@dpsutton it is cider-repl localhost

well huh

oh wait… do I need to have refactor-nrepl dependency? I think I do

i don't think that's your error

i don't know why it's not seeing the connected process

it ultimately goes through cider-nrepl-send-sync-request which should be just fine

hmmm I added refactor-nrepl, followed the instructions, still can’t get edn-format-buffer, now checking if it’s a version conflict

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "Buffer *cider-repl localhost* has no process") makes it sound like you're disconnected or things have gone seriously wrong

seems the hassle of getting all the features that CIDER provides through cider-connect is just way to big. It’s simply better to jack-in

that's unfortunate

if you can post an issue i'll have a way to look at it over the weekend

hopefully we can narrow that gap

so here’s what I’m doing: cider-jack-in, cider-scratch, type a form, run edn-format-buffer - Boom! it works. through cider-connect - it doesn’t. not very critical for me - I guess I would keep jacking-in. But it would be nice if things work also when cider-connect

I will create a formal issue (later)

awesome. thanks

i'll try it this evening if i can

@ag Didn't see this mentioned. What's in your /.lein/profiles.clj / /.boot/profiles.boot

I can't get company-mode work with cider-powered completions. I see that requests for completions are sent to REPL, but the response is always completions nil. Any idea how to debug?

(--> 
  op  "complete"
  session  "8eb64e7f-4dbb-41fa-a809-0e86c765beda"
  ns "abc.test"
  symbol  #("slu" 0 5 (cider-locals nil fontified t help-echo cider--help-echo))
  context  ":same"
  id  "44"
)
(<-- 
  completions  nil
  id  "44"
  session  "8eb64e7f-4dbb-41fa-a809-0e86c765beda"
  status  ("done")
)

CIDER 0.15.0snapshot (from el-get)

have you loaded the current namespace?

ie, you're no longer in the user ns but in one you want to work in?

Ah, damn. I haven't.

@dpsutton Thanks, it works now 😃

awesome

yeah, cider doesn't read your source, it just learns what you've got loaded

and until you load anything, it's got nothing

👍

contemplates

my emacs saves buffers when i tab out. definitely wouldn't want that behavior

and i've got send to repl baked into my hands C-u C-c M-z i think. My hands can do it but i can't type it

so guys, can someone help me to get it right… so it works on my machine, it works on machine of my colleague, it doesn’t work on machine of my other colleague: he sets cider-boot-parameters, runs jack-in clojurescript, yet cider opens Rhino repl

for me it does the right thing

what could be wrong?

it seems cider is ignoring cider-boot-parameters

is it possible?

how do I debug it?

Do you all have the same version of CIDER?
