@p-himik I’m planning to improve all of that shortly, hopefully in this EAP cycle.

How do I enable deps.edn aliases in my project so that the dev deps are included in the repl classpath?

I presume RTFM but I can’t find what I’m looking for

@steveb8n I’m fixing that right now 🙂

great. should I wait or is there a workaround for now?

@steveb8n @kenny Would you want aliases enabled or disabled by default?

I’m trying to enable aliases using CLI params

I think waiting is the only option, sorry.

ok

I’d like to have same as lein: pick which aliases are enabled in the run config

I prefer explicit enabling.

Ok. Lein actually has a series of common profiles which are enabled by default, deps doesn’t really have that (except :test I guess).

@steveb8n You can start a nrepl and connect to it in Cursive.

thx, I’ll try that

That will mean that in every new project you’ll have to enable those deps.

Yep

that’s ok with me too. I don’t mind the extra step to know exactly what’s happening

Ok.

I’ll only enable :test by default then.

when I noobed Cursive, I was a bit confused how “dev” was auto-enabled

You could have an IDE level setting for default aliases to cater to users who want aliases automatically used.

Yeah, I’ll think about that - that’s probably the best solution.

@kenny remote nrepl worked. thanks

fyi I’m working on a Datomic Ions project and using the new Ion lib is much easier in deps.edn than lein. hence the question. thanks for adding this, starts nice and fast too

Hey there, n00b question here, when I'm running the debug REPL and I'm exploring variables in the debugger, is there an easy way to def a variable of interest so that I can start poking it in my REPL session? (e.g. I'm interested in a symbol that's defined in a let)

You want to code (let [x 42]...) and then get at x in the REPL? let bindings are not like def vars, so no.

I haven't tried it myself, but I think https://github.com/vvvvalvalval/scope-capture is precisely for that sort of thing.

scope-capture looks neat, but for my use cases I can achieve something similar with as much effort doing

(let [x 1
      _ (def y x)])
