Is there a way to get the output of the cider-jack-in command without actually jacking-in :lol I need to start by repl from the command line because i'm starting it inside a container (guix)
It's also written into the *Messages* buffer when you jack in 😉 ... oh wait ... without jacking in ... sorry ... my bad
yeah. that requires process creation. i’ve wanted the copy command without having to start it, kill it, restart it from the terminal. i think it’s a great feature
Certain characters would need to be escaped or wrapped in a string when used on the command line. Different command line shells may need more escaping than others, e.g. power shell.
i’ve wanted this for a while. But here’s a way to get it
C-u cider-jack-in will give you the jack in process where you can edit the connection string. do this, copy it, and then C-g to kill the jack in procedure
@drewverlee From memory, sure, just take a look at the source code, it shouldn't take more than 20 minutes to get a POC (maybe Claude Code will be good at it)
Practicalli Clojure CLI config has several aliases to start a REPL on the command line and supports an Emacs CIDER (and Neovim Conjure) editor connection, e.g. :repl/basic if you want a simple interactive repl prompt or :repl/headless if you don't need a REPL prompt and only interact via Emacs

Either clone the deps.edn from this project or copy the aliases you want to the relevant Clojure project deps.edn
