ups, is the function cider--get-repl-buffer gone in CIDER? will verify my claim

Guess it’s not. 🙂

@arrdem No idea if this is feasible or not. If someone has seen some mode doing it we can certainly borrow some inspiration from there.

What’s the best way to do the equivalent of (set! *print-length* 16) on connection with cider?

should I add a cider-connected-hook?

ok following seems to work:

(add-hook 'cider-connected-hook (lambda ()
                                    (cider-interactive-eval
                                     "(set! *print-length* 16)\n")))

does it work? also don't need that newline in it

ah, there are refresh functions that might work for you

i'm not sure if the initial before refresh function is run at start up?

yeah looks like it works

there is a \n in there… or do you mean something else?

yeah that's what i meant. but i was thinking of something other than cider interactive eval so i see why you did it

well I’m asking because I was expecting there to be a better way (or a config option for this)

so open to alternatives

i was looking. there's a cider-refresh-after-fn that i was wondering was called on start up

not sure if you use cider-refresh much, but maybe you could (setq cider-refresh-after-fn "(set! *print-length*16)") and then add a cider connected hook to eval that function. and then if you refresh it will be called again for you

I do on some projects… guessing what you’re saying is that a refresh will reset the *print-length*

yeah. there are pre and post hook functions on refresh. so if you set this as a post refresh function and then also call it at jack in you should have it at all times

not sure if its just as good though, but there is cider-repl-pretty-print-width

Isn’t it simpler to just use something like Lein’s :repl-options?

@bozhidar: I have that set, but it doesn’t seem to be picked up in cider…

Perhaps we can have those as defcustoms in CIDER and pass the to lein/`boot` on jack-in, if they support it.

That’s odd - I thought this was something global for the REPL. After all it’s not like CIDER creates some different REPL.

ahh there’s a syntax error in my profiles.clj

File some ticket and let’s discuss how we can improve the situation there.

I had :repl-options { *print-length* 100 }

instead of having an inner :init

doh

So, this works now?

checking…

yes it works 🙂

thanks

Anyways, file some issue on the subject - we can certainly make this a bit more comfortable to set/change.

cool
