@deas Yes, that’s very strange. What’s inside that directory?

Do you have a library that references that somehow? You can see them in File->Project Structure

@cfleming Advanced optimization compiled Javascript code. No clue how this folder ended up being library root. I think we can ignore the issue unless other people see similar things.

@cfleming Will check for refs when I'm in front of the box tomorrow morning.

Ok, great. Let me know if you can’t figure out how that’s getting marked. I’ve actually never seen that type of directory marking before.

Is it possible to have the output of a repl command inserted (or replace the evaled form) in the edit buffer?

And is it possible to access metadata about the current buffer (like the path name)?

I'm trying to run refactor-nrepl commands that change my current file like:

(with-open [conn (repl/connect :port (Integer/parseInt (slurp ".nrepl-port")))]
  (-> (repl/client conn 1000)
      (repl/message {:op "clean-ns" :path "src/something/example.clj"})
      first
      :ns
      read-string))

hello!

I have a question

how do I see the result of macroexpansion on my macros?

I'd like to test them

@ericnormand You need to have a REPL running. Then Tools->REPL->View macro expansion

(or whichever key you have that bound to, if any).

You’ll need your cursor over a macro form to expand.

You’ll see a window which initially shows your original unexpanded form.

Then you can put the cursor anywhere in the form, and either hit the right arrow icon in the toolbar, or Ctrl/Cmd-Right

That will expand from the root down to the point your cursor is over, so you can selectively expand the parts of the macro you’re interested in.

thanks, mate!

is that documented somewhere?

@snoe Hmm, no - currently the only thing that can be substituted into a REPL command is the selection.

The path would be a nice addition to that.

@ericnormand Sadly, no - the doc that exists is at https://cursive-ide.com/userguide/ but it is sadly incomplete.

The x button to "interrupt current execution" doesn't seem to reliably work. Anyone else have this issue? I really don't like having to kill the entire REPL due to one hung evaluation.

@puzzler Unfortunately I don’t think there’s more I can do - I just call the nREPL interrupt operation.

@cfleming how about being able to echo the output of a repl command into a file buffer instead of the repl output?

That’s not there now but it sounds like a good improvement.

I wanted to do that for standard REPL execution, but the problem is that I end up with a combinatorial explosion of commands (execute top-level form and print output, execute top-level form and substitute into editor, execute previous form and… etc).

Vim’s verb-object model works much better for that.

yeah, I'm looking to hoop it up to ideavim, is it possible to expose :actions for just vim users?

like, don't have menu items

@snoe Is that what you’re after? https://github.com/cursive-ide/cursive/wiki/Mapping-IdeaVim-actions-to-Cursive-actions

See also: https://github.com/cursive-ide/cursive/wiki/IdeaVim-issues

oh I meant for stuff like execute top-level form and substitute into editor that gives the combinatorial explosion

So… I don’t think so at the moment. How would you want that to work? I’m almost totally Vim-ignorant.

i.e. I think the sort of action you’re talking about is not a standard IntelliJ action.

Right now I have a mapping like noremap cpp :action :cursive.repl.actions/run-last-sexp<CR> which works great. But, like you said, there aren't as many repl actions in cursive as say cider. I assume that's because you're trying not to overwhelm people. However as a vim user if they existed I could take advantage of them even if they weren't exposed to most users.

So you’d like smaller more composable actions? What sort of actions would be helpful?

so I would like to add noremap c!! :action :cursive.repl.actions/eval-last-sexpr-and-replace<CR>

Oh, I see.

Hmm

even if they weren't composable

I don’t think there’s a way to have lots of actions but only expose some.

one composable one I would like is to get the first and last char positions of a sexp

All actions are by default visible. I guess I could expose them all, perhaps others might like to use those instead of the existing ones.

with that I think I could build motions for inner/outer form

What would I do with those positions? Select from start to end, or something?

right if you look at https://github.com/guns/vim-sexp#text-object-selections-visual-operator-pending a motion just defines the bounds to operate on, so I could write a vimscript function that called the cursive action to get the bounds of the curent form, omap af call get_current_form_bounds() that and it'll be available to delete (`daf`) or select (`vaf`) etc...

But IdeaVim doesn’t support vimscript, right?

hrm, darn I'm still learning the differences.

Hehe - it’s tricky for me to understand since I don’t understand vim, to begin with.

And then the subtleties of IdeaVim, even less.

I do want to figure it out so I can help people get it set up.

cool, I'll play with some static positions and see what's possible, there's stuff like :goto that can jump to byte indices
