I'm trying to install cursive for clojure development. Cursive will download leiningen(although there's lein available on PATH) but failed. Now I want to manually put the leiningen leiningen-2.7.1-standalone.jar somewhere that Cursive can locate it. How can I achieve?

@doglooksgood Cursive will use the one in ~/.lein/self-installs like lein itself does.

my ~/.lein/self-installs is empty, maybe this is because my leiningen is installed via homebrew? I will have a try

Interesting, do you know where homebrew leaves it?

I wonder if there’s any way to have Cursive pick those up too.

Yes I know

Now I copy this jar to ~/.lein/self-installs and It works, thanks!

the jar installed by homebrew is located at /usr/local/Celler/leiningen/2.7.1/libexec/

BTW, It's there any trick to help me figure out where the file from and path the file will be placed when I know there's process is downloading something?

Hmm, I wonder if I can figure that out somehow without hard-coding it.

Which OS are you using?

macos

There are various answers here: https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/14409/how-to-monitor-file-access-for-an-os-x-application - looks like Instruments might be the tidiest option if you have XCode installed.

Thanks, I'll take a look!

@cfleming Just realized you are the author of Cursive, awesome!

@doglooksgood I am!

I’m planning to work on the Parinfer impl soon too, don’t worry 🙂

why Cursive not ship a second completion system from REPL. maybe that can have better perform for macros?

It does when you’re working in the REPL, but that doesn’t work when you’re in your editor.

The problem is that IntelliJ needs to resolve symbols all the time, for things like inspections.

Emacs etc only need that info on a user action (doc lookup, navigation etc)

Just not comfortable to see that there's a lot of stuffs can not resolve. I've see https://cursive-ide.com/userguide/macros.html And I want to use it on following code:

(defstate |datasource  ;; | is my cursor
  :start
  (make-datasource db-spec)
  :stop
  (close-datasource datasource))

@doglooksgood You want your caret on the defstate

I just realised that’s ambiguous in the screenshots, I’ll clarify that doc.

that works, but where the information will be stored, If someone else clone the repo, how can he got this configuration. should I commit .idea and *.iml?

So this is a problem right now, see: https://groups.google.com/d/topic/cursive/FcHwzTpPUuo/discussion

I’m still not sure what the best solution is.

Eventually this will be handled with a public API and a repo users can contribute to.

But there’s also a need for project-specific customisations.

maybe a repo is not the solution for in-house macros. and commit configuration with project is somehow most convenient way for team.

The parinfer on Cursive works great, I prefer to use it with paredit.

does cursive have feature for aligning code?

(let [x    1
      yyyy 2]
  xx)

I thought it will format map literals, but not let binding form.

Yep code style settings

Align let bindings iirc

Is it possible to get IDEA to halt when a unit-test throws an exception?

@danielcompton thanks!

@grav What do you mean “to halt” - to stop the running tests?

Halt is the wrong expression -I mean to leave me hanging in the debugger. Actually I did find kind of a solution, namely to enable breaking on all exception. But that means that all other exceptions also trigger the debugger

Is anyone using IdeaVim happily? AFAICT, it's…pretty poor

There's very positive comments about it here and there (and very strong reviews FWIW), so I wonder if there's something badly wrong in my env

@cfleming So for instance, running the foo-test below will break on both the handled and unhandled exception. I only want to break on the unhandled one in (defn foo …

(ns foo-test
  (:require [clojure.test :refer :all]))

(defn foo []
  (throw (Exception.))
  "foo")

(deftest foo-test
  (let [expected (try (throw (Exception.))
                      (catch Exception e "foo"))
        x (foo)]
    (is (= x expected))))

@cemerick I’m not a vim person myself, but I’ve heard “about the same level of emulation as evil-mode” from people who sound like they know what they’re talking about.

Are there specific things you’re missing?

@grav Ok, so you have an exception breakpoint set, right?

Go to Run->View Breakpoints…, then select your breakpoint. There are options there for only breaking on caught or uncaught exceptions.

Is that what you’re after?

@cfleming Interesting. I was using evil for some years, and I would not say that.

Really simple stuff seems missing and/or really wrong. %, d%, c%, all the specific bracket edit stuff (`ci[`, etc)

I know everyone has their own 80% of vim they use, but that seems like really basic things for any lisper using vim

I have it on my to-do list to figure out what all that stuff really means.

But I’m planning to patch IdeaVim to work better with Cursive at some point.

I ended up disabling it because it was frustrating enough (and slowed every typing action, a separate issue)

In particular, ESC in the REPL editor needs fixing.

never even got that far, honestly

Hmm, interesting.

even stuff for plain text editing, e.g. in .md buffers

gq was always a no-op, % never worked (again, outside of cursive buffers), and Shift-up or down bizarrely seemed mapped to something like-but-not-quite pageup/down

anyway

I've sort of made my peace with not having vim keybindings for Clojure stuff, but I sorely need to work out an alternative editor for things like markdown, etc

was hoping to make intellij a one-stop shop

If you like I can put you in touch with the guy I was talking to about it.

meh 😛

He may have solutions for you.

I have a week or two of serious heads-down to get through, not going to fart around with tools any

Ok, if you decide to try again let me know, I’m definitely interested in making the experience better, but am totally unqualified to do so on my own.

@cemerick i’ve used ideavim for years outside of cursive for years without issues. At least for my 80% of vim 🙂

% for instance works flawlessly for me. Ideavim in the repl is broken in many ways best i can tell. But i use paredit for clojure and turn off vim.

@cyclocross Is IdeaVim in the REPL broken in more ways than just the ESC problem?

I know that’s pretty fundamental, but it’s the only problem I’m aware of there.

@cfleming Y, it’s really hard to tell what else is wrong if anything, since i’m stuck in insert mode 🙂 But inserting text seems fine.
