Which browser are you using? I’ve just tested that with FF, Chrome and Safari on OSX and it works fine.

81.0.4044.138 on Ubuntu

Updated to 83.0.4103.61 and same issue.

I’d have to go back to the code to check, but IIRC, anything in the test alias becomes a test root, and everything else becomes a source root. However, since this is a bit crap and there really isn’t a better way to do that with deps, you can manually mark particular roots as test roots and Cursive will leave that when syncing later.

Thanks, it seems that everything in test paths ends up being marked as test sources. If I manually mark them as regular sources this info is reset on re-import. I will try to rework the deps structure so I can mark sources as test manually instead of regular. But maybe it'd be better if it didn't reset anything manually set.

One question is: why would you want something under the test alias not marked as a test source?

Right now the reason is there is an overlap between aliases. But now that I know what is the system for marking some paths as test sources I can rework it. Basically there were aliases for many little things but tests ran just with clj -A:test ... instead of combining all those.

It works! It needed a manual mark-as source dirs for the first time but then it no longer changes it to test sources. Thank you.

if you type (. and optionally some more chars, then hit ctrl-space it will give you autocomplete options

If you have an object whose type can be determined in the first arg position, then it will be contextual to that

so if cursor after . in (. (java.util.Date.)) - will give you method completions from Date

Thanks, I use that one, but I heard there was a faster option that lets you type the subject first and then tab (without threading too). Maybe I'm wrong.

Actually, Cursive does lots of magic here but not for the dot form - that’s on my to-do list.

All examples assuming Cursive knows the type of my-obj:

(.| my-obj) completing here will give you the context sensitive completions.

You can also do (my-obj .|) and you’ll get the context-sensitive method/field completions, and when you auto complete the method and receiver will be switched.

This also works with other forms where Cursive knows the type, like (-> my-obj .|)

interesting, i’ve been using cursive for years but never known it supports the 2nd from of code completion.

Yes, I really need to document this, it’s one of the coolest features in Cursive and I’ve talked about it on the mailing list etc but have never properly put it in the doc.

@U0567Q30W Nice! That second one is what I was thinking of

i think what you're describing is called Postfix Completion in intellij idea. as you can see from the screenshot attached, cursive doesn't seem to provide any postfix completion template for clojure.

that said, cursive does provide a bunch of live templates for clojure.

Ah, neat. Maybe that's it, thanks @UDCGPTV9R :thumbsup::skin-tone-2:

I talked about this over here: https://clojurians.slack.com/archives/C0744GXCJ/p1591161803088400?thread_ts=1591113838.079600&cid=C0744GXCJ

I upgraded to IDEA 2020.1 and Cursive 1.9.1-2020.1 and now it works!

Great! Although very weird that that didn’t work previously…

I agree, computers are weird sometimes!

The old problem still exists though, that I can't evaluate anything when I'm at a breakpoint, except numbers like 123 but not expressions or anything with a variable, e.g.: (+ 1 2 3) - I get the error message: Invalid expression : ). I have clojure selected as language in the evaluation window popup.

That’s https://github.com/cursive-ide/cursive/issues/2345, which is fixed in the latest EAP series but is not in a stable release yet.
