Probably a very stupid question but what’s the basic difference between cider-jack-in and cider-jack-in-clojurescript?

@luchini the latter creates two buffers , one for clj and one for cljs

Why CIDER does not complete .getCanonicalPath?

Which is a method from object java.io.File that created by .

@stardiviner because it's a java method, not clojure function. You'd have to introspect the object on which that method is invoked.

I see, is it possible to make cider-doc related functions work on .getCanonicalPath?

I'm not sure, but I'd say no - everything works on static methods (like java.io.File/createTempFile), but in case of instance methods it's probably the same problem as with autocomplete

That's said, it seems to work in many cases, especially classes from java.lang package, e.g. .toUpperCase

This is the best source I could find: https://github.com/clojure-emacs/cider-nrepl/blob/master/src/cider/nrepl/middleware/util/java.clj#L263 resolve-symbol and resolve-member (in case of instance method) in cider-nrepl are used for getting the list of candidates.

and looking at the source it seems that it scans java classes imported in current namespace - you can try

(doseq [[name fq-name] (ns-imports *ns*)] (println fq-name))

(import java.io.File)

@jumar I see, thanks for your explain, very detailed.

Thanks @richiardiandrea

Already asked in #spacemacs but trying here too: Is there any good way to search for a string in all jars/libraries (or at least in given jar/library) on the classpath ?

The best thing I've found so far is to invoke cider-classpath, look for interesting jars and then do zipgrep "search-string" library.jar in eshell

@jumar That would be an awesome feature to add to cider IMO

One very hacky way I've accomplished something similar is to specify a project-local .m2 cache and then use projectile to grep for something

From the results, I'm pretty sure it is able to search within the jar files
