Hey everyone, I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong, but I can't make proto-repl work on Windows... 😕

imetallica23:10:30

I don't have autocompletion and stuff on the editor

seancorfield23:10:20

All that only works if you have a REPL running and the code loaded @imetallica

imetallica23:10:07

@seancorfield you mean I already need to have an repl running before starting the repl "inside" atom?

seancorfield23:10:02

No. I mean you need ProtoREPL connected to a REPL -- either in Atom or outside it -- that is running in the context of your project's code.

imetallica23:10:27

So, for autocompletion, do I need to load the file into repl?

seancorfield23:10:42

Most of the "smarts" that you get from ProtoREPL come from its ability to ask the live, running Clojure process about the code.

seancorfield23:10:44

For auto-completion, most of the support for that is based on the code having been compiled into the live, running process.

seancorfield23:10:44

Also, a lot of things are dependent on your project having ProtoREPL as a dependency (so it is also loaded and running in your REPL process).

seancorfield23:10:21

[proto-repl "RELEASE"] in your dev dependencies.

seancorfield23:10:51

(unless you want a specific version -- that will always give you the latest release when you start the REPL).

imetallica23:10:04

I'll give a shot then

imetallica23:10:34

@seancorfield thanks for the help m8! 🙂

seancorfield23:10:25

Any time! 🙂 I switched from Emacs to ProtoREPL after last year's Conj and I've been very happy with it.
