No it doesn’t; only mouse click

I would also like to extend the example with the use of eval pseudo-variable to use (clojure-project-dir) instead of a fixed project path. This is useful when having the .dir-locals.el shared across a team that have the cloned repo in different locations

yeah i wish there was a second dir-locals that could be gitignored that each person could use

so that kind of thing could go in there. what's wrong with the example though? I thought it was right. root/.m2 and src/ should be translated to users/foo and users/foo/project

ah! yeah, you're right, any /root/* will get translated to /Users/someuser/*

I'm more used to translate paths that are meaningful to the development, not any path under /root/

i made that feature and it was pretty tailored to my then current work setup of working in a docker image. if you want to adapt it and make it more flexible/general go for it

after checking https://github.com/clojure-emacs/docs.cider.mx I now understand that the actual documentation comes from cider main repo

i had a very concrete problem at hand so there may be room for more generality

We're using docker too, and a group of Linux and macOS devs, and came with this one - https://gist.github.com/iperdomo/88f3156dbb79fe99bc440d1700bb7162#file-dir-locals-el-L3-L8

in the case of linux users the reported user is not root but akvo ... what I'm proposing is a general example on how to use eval to get clojure-project-dir call working

does it make sense?

in docker i figured the user would be consistent. you are all presumably using the same docker configs

and i think we ended up just making a template file that was committed and then having everyone make their own (git ignored) dir locals

as i think eval runs on every new buffer rather than just once

I'm a basic emacs user (use it for CIDER only), so the whole eval and .dir-locals.el is new to me

yeah. i'm not a big fan of it

note that eval is also mentioned in other config documentation - https://github.com/clojure-emacs/cider/blob/master/doc/modules/ROOT/pages/config/project_config.adoc#project-specific-configuration

yeah. its an option. we just went with the far simpler template and make your own dir locals

do you think it would be interesting/beneficial to contribute that approach of using eval?

sure

I'll open an issue and a PR, thanks

re-reading the documentation again, what confused me was this In the example above, the .m2 directory is mounted at /root/.m2 but the example is the root folder is mounted as the host's home folder

perhaps making explicit reference to /root/.m2 -> /Users/foo/.m2 makes that sentence less confusing?

sure. fundamentally its just prefix matching. so whatever prefix you want, go for it

Ok, issue and pr open - happy to change, improve it if needed - https://github.com/clojure-emacs/cider/pull/2989
