There's also a few features on the horizon that might be EDN transport only.

including the upgrading socket repl to nREPL one...

Oh, wow. Sounds crazily cool!

Is it still only clojure cli where I can start the edn transport server via a command line switch?

hmm.. how do you normally start the repl process?

lein repl?

think setting it in .nrepl.edn also works?

Calva supports tools.deps, lein and shadow-cljs. Ideally I’d like to add whatever is needed to the command lines starting the processes. But I’ll check out .nrep.edn too.

Bottom of this page: https://nrepl.org/nrepl/0.6.0/usage/server.html

There was a discussion of configuring nrepl via JVM opts: https://github.com/nrepl/nrepl/issues/54

in lein, it's passed via :repl-options

guess .nrepl.edn is something different, but saves you the effort of threading config through whichever tool you are supporting?

https://shadow-cljs.github.io/docs/UsersGuide.html#nREPL <- how to configure shadow

Thanks. I was looking at the shadow-docs yesterday and it wasn't obvious to me what I should put there to get the EDN selected.

(Still isn't. so if you can give me a hint. 😃 )

I'm looking now, think shadow might need to do some work to support it: https://github.com/thheller/shadow-cljs/blob/92bb8076f6d1774bdbcf32dc8b0e14ce949c769a/src/main/shadow/cljs/devtools/server/nrepl.clj#L123

or rather, it seems to support .nrepl.edn

but not by adding things into shadow-cljs.edn

Thanks again!

@U05224H0W, is this something you would consider adding as a configuration option? I could probably go via .nrepl.edn, and maybe even should go that way, but so far I haven't let Calva edit config files on the user's behalf. It's pretty nice to be able to specify these things on the command line.

add what? not entirely sure what you are talking about here

Sorry. Add a way to config the nrepl server to use another transport. (EDN transport is what I currently am considering to try with for Calva.)

as soon as the alpha tag disappears I guess? https://github.com/thheller/shadow-cljs/issues/514

don't know why it has an alpha tag, not keeping up with whats going on over there

but I guess I can add the config option regardless

The API is not settled, is one thing I have picked up.

I was just about to comment on that issue

https://github.com/thheller/shadow-cljs/commit/43050cf14338236a30d823a247e51e8cdf1a51ec

trying to finish up some other work. will probably make a release later

Working fast!
