@bozhidar FYI: moved cider-nrepl dependency from 0.20.0-SNAPSHOT to 0.20.0. All good here. (`deps.edn` + shadow-cljs project, by the way)

thanks for the release 😉

You’re welcome!

And yeah - CIDER 0.20 is out! (https://metaredux.com/posts/2019/01/15/cider-oslo.html) Enjoy!

@bozhidar does the new pretty printing use the same API as cider did? Or do I need to send a patch to fireplace?

The API is documented here https://nrepl.org/nrepl/design/middleware.html#_pretty_printing

Basically now it’s printer instead of pprint-fn and print-options instead of individual keys for *print-length* and so on.

The print options are specific to the printer that’s being used. CIDER doesn’t set any by default and assumes the users know how to configure their favourite print engine.

See https://nrepl.org/nrepl/design/middleware.html#_pretty_printing

Also - the old middleware returned a special response, now we’re directly pretty-printing the :value key, which simplifies a lot dealing with pretty-printed values.

The old keys are simply ignored, although we can also have the middleware just translate them.

I was short on time, so I didn’t fret on this too much.

Ah, I just remembered why I didn’t do it - the old API assumed printing to a stream, the new assumed printing to a string.

We’ll likely revisit it once @cichli implements streaming of values for nREPL.

Is there a browse spec at point to show documentation of a keyword’s spec that is under the cursor?

cider-browse-spec doesn’t seem to understand ns aliases in the current ns

I’m not very familiar with cider internals, but I would be interested in patching it

@bozhidar I suppose cider doesn't bring along any pprinters, so if you want to use zprint, you will need to add it (and potentially mr. anderson it) yourself.

@dominicm I added it as a dependency on my project and configured cider-pprint-fn in .dir-locals.el.

@manuel that doesn't work if you want your printer to work in multiple projects. I generally try to prevent personal choices, like the printer, ending up in project specific configuration.

I see what you mean

I also don't have the option for a dir locals, as vim doesn't have a practical equivalent. Especially not one that a plug in would depend on for a setting to be useful.

Also, if those dependencies ever conflict with those of your project, things will break. This is why cider inlines dependencies.

when cider connects to deps projects (jack-in), how do I tell it to use the :dev profile? is this the best way? (setq cider-clojure-cli-global-options "-A:dev")

oh maybe .dir-locals is the answer to that?

Yeah I’m using .dir-locals @stathissideris — or used to, I’m now starting my nrepl in a terminal and have CIDER connect to it. Saves me the bother 🙂

@orestis thanks, I just tried dir-locals and they work as expected!

Last night I discovered a conflict between figwheel-sidecar vs CIDER, because of conflicting nrepl vs tools.nrepl dependencies. Does combining figwheel-sidecar & CIDER probably require me submit a pull request to figwheel-sidecar that somehow removes the tools.nrepl dependency?

(Or perhaps there's a deeper issue, once that's solved...)

what is figwheel-cider? Do you mean figwheel-sidecar?

Oops, let me edit my typo, was up late 😛

Yes, figwheel-sidecar 🙂

what version are you on? I've been running 0.5.18 with no problem

Ah, I've been using 0.5.16. (More context: https://gist.github.com/tjg/43527df81a0dd293a808aea10cf4ccc3#problem)

yeah bump your figwheel deps to 0.5.18

Yowza, that did the trick perfectly! Thanks @dpsutton! (Could've sworn I looked at figwheel-sidecar's sourcecode on the proper branch, but guess I missed something)

no worries. this stuff gets tricky with the upgrade to nrepl/nrepl

> @bozhidar I suppose cider doesn’t bring along any pprinters, so if you want to use zprint, you will need to add it (and potentially mr. anderson it) yourself.

@dominicm It actually brings three in the cider.pprint namespace, but I hope this is going to be a temporary measure.

Puget would work as a normal dep, as it has a function to print to string, but for clojure.pprint and fipp I had to write simple wrappers to easy the lives of the end users.

This won’t be necessary if we really implement stream printing, though.

is there a quick way to search for and jump to a symbol definition across a project, either with, I guess, cider or emacs?

Have you tried M-.?

I have now! thanks! works perfectly... didn't realize it would go across files.

Magic 😉

When using cider with lein, when I do cider-jack-in it'll use the :repl profile where I can add extra deps and stuff. How do I accomplish the same with deps.edn ?

((nil
  (cider-clojure-cli-global-options . "-A:fig")))

I put that in .dir-locals.el, right?

yes. sorry 🙂

If I've already got a .dir-locals.el containing

((nil . ((cider-refresh-before-fn . "integrant.repl/suspend")
         (cider-refresh-after-fn  . "integrant.repl/resume"))))

((nil . ((cider-refresh-before-fn . "integrant.repl/suspend")
         (cider-refresh-after-fn  . "integrant.repl/resume")
         (cider-clojure-cli-global-options . "-A:fig"))))

Also, you didn't put a . between nil and the list, is that significant somehow?

no idea ¯\(ツ)/¯

but it seems to work. i need to look into an authoritative source on dir locals

Yeah, I need to go through some tutorials so I can start reasoning about this stuff instead of cargo culting everything. Thanks a lot for the help 🙂

well, dang. I just discovered hydra-cljr-project-menu/cljr-add-project-dependency ... is this a viable alternative to alembic?

at the very least, it seems like it will conveniently add a dependency to my project.clj, which is great. the hot reload ('hd') from the minibuffer menu produces a java 10 related error, but plunging on.

trying new libraries during exploratory coding has required a lot of web-search->clojars->project.clj-updating->repl-restarting which is a flow breaker, so trying faster routes.

alembic has been handy, but seems at times to fail more often than I'd like, which is a flow disrupter as well.

this is so enticing: https://github.com/clojure-emacs/clj-refactor.el/wiki/cljr-add-project-dependency

but getting: "error in process filter: Temporarily disabled until a solution for java 10 is found."

also, the fuzzy finding of libraries isn't working.

it looks like I need to update clj-refactor.

or not. bummer, hot reload doesn't work to enable java 10 (which I do not have installed). do any of you have a dependency install/hot-reloading strategy?

After upgrading to 0.20.0, a few cider methods seem to be missing. When I C-h f cider-mode, functions such as M-., cider-find-var aren’t underlined, indicating the key binding is defined but the fn is not. Where should I start looking?
