@cfleming never once did I consider that the pprinting was being done client-side

@cemerick Yeah, I suddenly realised that that might not have been obvious

I figured you were adding a shaded fipp dep to every classpath and using it in cursive middleware, etc

No, I just lex (and parse in a very primitive way) the output string coming back from nREPL.

(or whatever else is returning values to me).

Again, it’s swings and roundabouts - what I have will work for CLJS as soon as I get a dedicated CLJS REPL going.

But it’s harder for the user to customise - I can expose knobs, but customised renderers are trickier.

yeah, it's a very uncomfortable notion, insofar as I'm so used to always having pprint or an equivalent available

I'll forgive you when a webkit output view shows up 😜

Well, as far as I can tell, you should be able to use the middleware I sent and just disable pprinting in Cursive

Hehe

yeahyeah, should be a snap

I'm still confused re: the syntax highlighting though.

it sounded like you were using fipp in order to get that somehow, but clearly that's not the case

Nope, I have my own lexer

so why bother with all the trouble of client side pprinting at all?

Well, if pprinting is enabled, I lex and (somewhat, basically just data structures) parse using Cursive’s existing machinery, then use a custom fipp on that.

If it’s not, I just lex and highlight.

Other advantages are that the syntax highlighting colours are what the user expects (they’re the same as in the editor, which will not be the case if using e.g. puget)

And it’s just generally less intrusive on the user app - after all this time, I’m still not used to the idea that dev tooling has to be injected into the running app.

Not doing that reduces all sorts of version conflicts etc that Cider has suffered from

very fair

Plus, it will work with non-nREPL things.

When I ever get around to adding them.

do you have any sense of the socket repl stuff? I actually don't really have a dog in the fight anymore, but I had been figuring there'd be more activity at some point

I’m planning to add support shortly.

It’s surprisingly tricky from a UI point of view. It involves explaining to users the difference between RPC and streaming REPLs, making them choose one and then supporting the various tradeoffs depending on what they choose.

Technically, it’s pretty easy.

question about test integration. seems to me that cursive somehow holds on to old test definition. After overwriting example test = 1 0, with sth that passes it still reports that original as failing? how can i reset short of stopping the lein process that remote repl works on? redefines seem not to work...

stopping process and starting helps and it goes away. do not know how often one can run into that, maybe i am unlucky. Is there something specific at play with regards to test integration that might shed light on such behaviour?

Do you guys know if I can get the form/something under caret in a REPL command? Something like (pprint $form)

@felipehummel You can def do that with a macro

@rauh how? What should I put in the command to be executed?

Yeah that part is little tricky

1. Grow selection 2. Copy. 3. Focus REPL window 4. Paste

#3 "Jump to REPL" is provided by Cursive. I have a macro that uses it

Oh, I guess I wasn't clear. I'm talking about this: https://cursive-ide.com/userguide/repl.html#repl-commands I'd like a command that gets whats under my caret (or something similar) and pass it to a function. Like: (my-pretty-print-function $form-under-caret)

@felipehummel Oh I see, I wrote a macro like that (actually calling clojure.repl/doc on the symbol) but it's not pretty and was a little flaky

@felipehummel So currently you can only get the selection with ~selection (although I think I just saw a bug in that - gah). If you’d like more possibilities, please file an issue - I’m definitely interested in hearing about use cases.

The use case I was thinking about was to show a pretty-printed version of a Prismatic Schema in the repl. We use extensively schemas and sometimes we want to take a quick look at the schema definition. As schemas are normally combined/merged with one another, going to the definition of the schema doesn't always give the answer.

Newbie cursive user here.. I'm trying to connect to a remote REPL and I get the "REPL run configuration is incorrect - no module selected" error. However in the REPL configuration Context Module dropdown there are no choices??

Hi @tmarble, what that probably means is that none of your modules have Clojure attached to them.

How did you set this project up?

Hi Colin!

I just tried to import https://github.com/martinklepsch/tenzing out of the box

Interesting, I think the issue is that that project.clj has no Clojure dependency.

My memory is failing me on how eval-in-leiningen is handled, one sec.

In task-options! I set repl {:port 8082} and then configured that port in the "MyREPL" config which is based on Remote

@cfleming boot, not lein

@tmarble Sadly, Cursive currently doesn’t support boot out of the box - it’s very near the top of my list, though. How people usually handle this is to do this: https://github.com/boot-clj/boot/wiki/For-Cursive-Users

That generates a project.clj using the deps from your boot build, which Cursive can then import.

The problem is that tenzing already has a project.clj - I don’t know why that would be.

hmm i must have deleted project.clj... let me regenerate it and try again

I do above with boot, only issue I have with it is I regularly forget to run boot lein-generate so the deps in Cursive are out of date until I remember to run it again.

the project.clj in the repo is for the lein-template... the generated example (from lein new) only has build.boot

Umm - so this is a boot project which creates a lein template which creates boot projects?

🙂

hahaha, yeah

Ok, so that project.clj is really like a static resource, and is not the project definition for tenzing itself.

Wait - but it also doesn’t have a build.boot file?

I just generated a new example, did lein-generate and Cursive is indexing now..

What are you trying to do - work with tenzing itself?

nope... just figure out how to get Remote REPL to work in cursive. In this example just one (1) CLJS REPL... Ultimate goal is to have CLJ REPL (web server) and CLJS REPL (Weasel connected browser REPL)

OK, yay!, now Edit Configurations Clojure REPL -> Remote has the Context Module

Nice!

Hmm.. i ran 'boot dev' per the tenzing instructions... and it says nREPL started on 8082... but when I try to start the Cursive REPL it appears to start a new nREPL on a different port?

@tmarble It shouldn’t if you’re using a Remote REPL - can you send a screenshot of your REPL run config?

sure

@cfleming see http://info9.net/downloads/tenzing3.png

OH.. in the REPL window it says LOCAL!

hmmm.. how to I make that Remote??

You shouldn’t have to - your REPL run config looks ok, but it seems to be running a local config instead of a remote one.

How come? 😛

This is a project you just created from a template, right? Nothing sensitive in there?

correct

want me to push it to github?

Ok, can you zip the project up and send it to <mailto:[email protected]|[email protected]>?

Sure, or that - either is fine.

If you push it I’ll need the config that lives under .idea

i'll give you the whole shebang

@cfleming https://github.com/tmarble/tenzing3

Following import i did 'Add project' 'Add SDK', opened a terminal, ran 'boot dev', then made the new Remote REPL configuration and tried to connect to it

@tmarble Arg - one thing that’s missing is the REPL config itself. Could you open your run config, select “share” and then add the file and push it?

sure

By default run configs aren’t added to the project, they’re user-local.

pushed

@tmarble Ok, that all looks good. I can’t run boot dev for some reason, I get “Unable to resolve symbol: update in this context, compiling:(pandeiro/boot_http/impl.clj:156:36)"

But when I run the REPL it says: Connecting to remote nREPL server... Error connecting to localhost:8082 - class java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused

Which is as it should be.

I’m wondering if your REPL config has got itself into a funky state somehow. Could you try deleting it and recreating it, just to be sure?

sure

first let's get your boot dev working

do you have things setup in ~/boot (see my Boot/ directory) -- save what you have if already present

~/.boot

~/d/cursive-bugs> ls ~/.boot
boot.properties cache           lib             tmp

But I don’t use boot for anything except sporadic testing, yet

cp Boot/{boot.properties,profile.boot} ~/.boot/

So I can delete all of that with no problem

shouldn't need to delete

then, in a terminal, do boot dev again

Ok, done - boot is supposedly deving

Downloading things...

it'll take 30 seconds AFTER it says listening on 8082 before it's truly ready

ends with Elapsed time: ....

Yep, I’ve made it that far

Now try to connect the Remote REPL

Connecting to remote nREPL server...
Clojure 1.8.0
(+ 1 2 3)
=> 6

yay!

ok, now my turn... i'll delete the project

it's ok if it deletes all of .idea, right?

Yeah, that will all be recreated when you import.

Import project... tenzing3

The project file .idea already exists, would you like to overwrite it?

I assume yes

Yes please

open terminal, run boot dev

Edit configurations...

Do I edit the Defaults / Clojure REPL / Remote -or- just add a new REPL config?

Add a new one

The defaults are used as a template for new configs when you create them.

crap... no Context module

Ok, I’m going to import the project instead of opening your files, one sec

Actually, I’ll send you a PM, this is getting pretty specific to your case
