Clojurians Log v2

I am using polylith with cider, I have the above variable set like this.

(clojure-mode . ((cider-clojure-cli-aliases . "-M:dev")
                  (cider-preferred-build-tool . clojure-cli)))

;; Startup: /opt/homebrew/bin/clojure -Sdeps \{\:deps\ \{nrepl/nrepl\ \{\:mvn/version\ \"1.3.0\"\}\ cider/cider-nrepl\ \{\:mvn/version\ \"0.50.2\"\}\ refactor-nrepl/refactor-nrepl\ \{\:mvn/version\ \"3.10.0\"\}\}\ \:aliases\ \{\:cider/nrepl\ \{\:main-opts\ \[\"-m\"\ \"nrepl.cmdline\"\ \"--middleware\"\ \"\[refactor-nrepl.middleware/wrap-refactor\,cider.nrepl/cider-middleware\]\"\]\}\}\} -M:dev:test:cider/nrepl @seancorfield it looks like this And connect the cider to the REPL (`cider-connect-clj`) it looks to works as expected.

Okay, if starting the REPL manually (from the workspace root) and connecting to it directly works, then I suspect Oliver's comment about which file you have open when you try to jack-in is relevant here: > Also the thing I always forget is make sure your in a clj file inside the development folder, so that it reads your root deps.edn which should have all yours dependencies inside. Since every brick has deps.edn, I suspect if you jack-in while you have a component/base source file open, it will use that brick's deps.edn instead of the root deps.edn? (and maybe there's a way to tell CIDER to use a specific project root folder instead?)

@seancorfield you're right, cider-jack-in from root deps.end works as expected.

I'm used to VS Code / Calva where it asks which folder is the project root when it thinks there are multiple options (because VS Code has the notion of "projects", which Emacs/CIDER does not). Glad you found a way to make it work.

I see. Thanks for the help

I always create a .dir-locals.el file in the project's root directory with the following content:

((nil . ((cider-clojure-cli-aliases . ":dev:test"))))

If you do C-u when you jack-in, you should get the whole command CIDER will use to start the REPL, what does that command look like? Can you run it from the command-line directly and connect a different nREPL client to test against it? (`lein repl :connect` or whatever the syntax is, if you have Leiningen installed, else maybe the latest version of Rebel Readline which now has an nREPL client)

yeah that caught me out for a while, I wonder if there is a way to configure it with .dir-locals to set the deps it will use, I always jack into to a file with in the development folder now as that should have all dependencies for all bases and components
