Clojurians Log v2
cider
I'm using cider-ns-refresh in a project (with before/after functions for stopping/starting the system), but I've found I can't use it while I have a ClojureScript file in my buffer, as those have their own REPL connection. Is there a way to force cider-ns-refresh to always use the Clojure nREPL for a project, regardless of the mode of the buffer I'm in?
I guess I could create a custom function, cider-clj-ns-refresh , that uses cider-current-repl to search for a Clojure REPL. Would that work?
Hmm, I never thought about this much to be honest - probably we can just force the use of a Clojure connection as it doesn't work with ClojureScript anyways.
Feel free to file a ticket about this. As a workaround you can just copy the current Elisp function to your Emacs config and load a modified version from there. (but a similar function with a different name will get the job done as well)
FYI - we're considering dropping cider-ns-refresh completely down the road in favor of the newer clj-reload based commands.
I'll open an issue then! Thanks for the response!
(I mean today it's configurable, but originally the design was influenced by clojure.tools.namespace and that's what we're considering dropping)
I was considering swapping over to clj-reload as well, though I should add that there are plenty of projects that use tools.namespace, so dropping support for that would require that everyone update their existing libraries. I'd need to update integrant-repl for example.
Yeah, that's fair and that's why we're not in a rush to make such a change. But overall it seems that these days clj-reload is the better tool for the job.
Agreed. I've been meaning to get round to updating my libraries.
