@bfay Happy to hear this!

> @bozhidar hello! many thanks for cider! is there any way to do something like cider-pprint-eval-last-sexp-to-repl but printing the result in the REPL instead of adding it as input in the REPL?

@stathissideris Do you want just the result printed there? Or you want the form added and the result printed?

@bozhidar just the result please

Those two come to mind:

["Eval last sexp to REPL" cider-eval-last-sexp-to-repl]
    ["Eval last sexp and pretty-print to REPL" cider-pprint-eval-last-sexp-to-repl]

@bozhidar cider-pprint-eval-last-sexp-to-repl inserts the result as an expression in the prompt, not above it (or below it)

so I mean it’s printed as input, not as output

I don’t think we have something to just display eval results in the REPL, but that’s certainly doable. Why do you need something like this? Won’t it be a bit hard to follow as results would have appeared out of nowhere?

Hi lovely people, do any of you have a .dir-locals.el file that you use for a combined clj/cljs tools.deps project that you'd be prepared to share with me? i'm not an Emacs user (shoo! shoo!) but I'm trying to set up a build that will work happily with cider jack-in for my colleagues, so i'd really appreciate the help. Thanks!

The edge one is pretty advanced at this point, that's the one I'd recommend

oh cool, i didn't realise there was one in there

do you have a link by any chance? i'm basically trying to learn the syntax

https://github.com/juxt/edge/blob/master/lib/edge-app-template/resources/clj/new/app.template/dir-locals.el this is the pre-generated one, you'll have to resolve the mustache manually 🙂

@bozhidar The workflow I’d like to try is type long multi-line expressions in a .clj file and eval+pretty-print their results in the REPL where the results accumulate. I saw that something similar would be possible with getting the results in a popup buffer, but I prefer to see a “log” of results. If the inputs are also shown (as you said it may be a bit hard to follow otherwise) I think it would be even more usable, but I’d be happy with just the outputs

How do I tell CIDER again not to take over *out* and *err*? My google fu is failing me...

I'm starting my nREPL outside of Emacs, and I want all output to go to that terminal, instead of to the *cider-repl* buffer

found it I think, cider-redirect-server-output-to-repl

there's no substitute for grepping the source 🙂

@plexus Yep, that’s the magic option.

@stathissideris Got it. It makes sense to me, so I’d suggest filing a ticket about this so I won’t forget to look into it.

> I saw that something similar would be possible with getting the results in a popup buffer,

Yeah, I’m thinking we can probably add another option for the result destinations. I’d be wary of adding dedicated commands for something like this.

I would love the workflow that @stathissideris is talking about. If you are tweaking data, it’s very helpful to have a history that you can just scroll back and see.

@bozhidar @orestis https://github.com/clojure-emacs/cider/issues/2617

can you get this with the insert commands? > if the eval'ed expression is also added as if it was typed in the prompt of the REPL check out the map under C-c C-j for the insert commands

(setq cider-switch-to-repl-on-insert nil)
(setq cider-invert-insert-eval-p t)

these 1) prevent jumping to the repl buffer on insert and 2) eval it rather than wait for more input

haven’t seen these before, reading docs…

@dpsutton that would actually cover my use case exactly! but I don’t seem to have cider-switch-to-repl-on-insert

i think that's new

I’m on CIDER 0.21.0 (New York)

the current one is cider-switch-to-repl-after-insert

works! with a slight problem: it seems that if cider-switch-to-repl-after-insert-p is true, the REPL scrolls to the end of the result, if it’s nil it doesn’t 🙂

thanks @dpsutton, I’ll see if I can script it to scroll somehow (didn’t know about the insert commands)

Even I had forgotten about those two options. 😄

i remember working on something like this

https://github.com/clojure-emacs/cider/pull/2590

there were subleties of buffer focused, visible, etc
