I was getting help today with shadow-cljs and the fix ended up being using this "new" `[nrepl "0.6.0"] dependency instead of the old [cider/cider-nrepl "0.21.1"] dependency I had. Am I understanding that's the new way to do things? Just curious. It does look like the old one is still getting maintained and worked on so I was confused. Another editor tool doesn't work now that I've made the switch and I'm thinking it's related but not sure.

Any reason why cider-eval commands silently no-op when there is no connection? I've had a few occasions where I forgot to jack-in or the REPL process crashed in the background, and then sat around waiting for an eval command to "complete" when really there was nothing being run.

It seems like an explicit choice with :auto being passed to cider-map-repls, which then doesn't ensure a current repl.

something odd is happening, when I use cider-connect and try to use M-. (`cider-find-var`) I got a prompt for Symbol:.... It seems like the functionality to follow the vars are missing

there are any additional setup other than adding {:plugins [[cider/cider-nrepl "0.22.0-beta8"]]}

it usually prompts you for the symbol that you want to find the definition for

this is normal behavior, correct?

no, if I use cider-jack-in to start the repl, it moves the cursor to the definition of the symbol directly

and even typing the name of the symbol, I get No source location found msg

cider--jump-to-loc-from-info: No source location

seems like cider--should-prompt-for-symbol is what determines to ask for a symbol or try to locate it

do you use lsp or anything like that?

cider along side with clojure-mode and clj-refactor

let me try with only clojure-mode and cider

can you do m-x nrepl-toggle-message-logging and then find a messages buffer? you can watch the messages go back and forth with cider and see what its sending and what it is returning

do this with cider-jack-in and also with cider-connect and see what's up

is there any docker stuff involved?

yes, there are

I will turn it on here

> yes there are what do you mean by this?

sorry, let me explain. I'm doing a setup of a workflow using docker-compose. I know clj-refactor is not working using this. The current setup is running lein repl :headless :port 17019 :host 0.0.0.0 as entrypoint. I can successfully connect in this repl by exposing the 17019 port and running m-x cider-connect

are you using a docker container when you run cider-connect?

if so, there's an PR open. but its because the source location of your file has a path in the docker container that it doesn't know how to find. ie ~/projects/foo/src/bar.clj is just /src/bar.clj in the docker container

I run cider-connect in my local emacs gui to connect to the localhost:17019

yes

but is that running inside of a docker container

oh, this is a known issue, so?

https://github.com/clojure-emacs/cider/pull/2606

by toggling the log I can see the variable file is not correct with the actual file of my source code

that's the reason why

Yeah. My PR was quick. Needs to be cleaned up a little bit more

I might get your current solution to have this working

🙂

Grab the patch and clean it up and get it merged if you have time :)

I'll try to work on it; I was working in another issue related to paredit and clojure-mode

@dpsutton thanks for the help on this problem. Started with a weird-blind-issue and finished with a PR to be made lol

The nrepl and cider-nrepl packages are very different, so I don’t quite understand what you mean. nrepl is the REPL server itself and cider-nrepl is a collection of nREPL middleware.

@qythium Do they? I thought most commands had some check about the presence of a connection. Unfortunately its pretty easy to forget to add one…

Cider eval commands do put a message in the mini-buffer if you call them without a repl.

Historically many commands had this in them https://github.com/clojure-emacs/cider/blob/master/cider-eval.el#L1146

Generally it seems it’s better to push those checks lower to the nREPL client code.

(so you’ll get them “for free”)
