is https://gist.github.com/xzj/1518834 the "Right Way" to add ctags support for Clojure? i'm asking here, since my end goal is to be able to use fzf.vim's BTags (or similar) for jumping to symbols in the current Clojure buffer. so the solution doesn't need to use ctags.

it seems like that ~/.ctags works, but is limited: it doesn't support e.g. defprotocol and defrecord. while it's easy enough to add those statements, it makes me think that there should probably be a better solution/setup out there.

i think some of that clojure config may be part of universal ctags i do have some configuration similar to the link you've posted: https://github.com/daveyarwood/dotfiles/blob/master/ctags/clojure.ctags a lot of my config (maybe all of it?) is a hold-over from when i was using exuberant ctags before, so i'm not sure how much of that is still necessary

i too would be interested to know if there is a "canonical" way to do ctags with clojure

have we moved on from exuberant-ctags? o_O

I think there is still good support for both in the vim ecosystem. One of the benefits of universal ctags is that more languages (including clojure) are supported out of the box

latest universal ctags does not need any extra config for basic clojure iiuc. does anyone know differently?

universal ctags does not use .ctags iiuc.

> Universal-ctags doesn't load /.ctags and ./.ctags at starting up time. Instead, it loads /.ctags.d/.ctags and ./.ctags.d/.ctags. See the above web site and man pages (man/ctags.1.rst.in and man/ctags-incompatibilities.7.in in the source tree). via: https://github.com/universal-ctags/ctags#user-content-differences

I use Exuberant Ctags and it has support for Clojure

ctags --list-languages has Clojure in it's list.

Then I use vim-gutentags to manage.

would you mind posting some related links? i never had luck with exuberant ctags out-of-the-box (ended up mucking around with .ctags) -- i only found universal ctags to have clojure support built-in.

you're an arch linux user, right? i'm using universal-ctags-git from aur.

Hi, if I recall, I didn't do much. I simplly installed ctags, then installed the vim plugin

If I open up a clojure file in vim, then a ctags file is created for me in the project root

so you're using extra/ctags then?

Then I installed vim Plug 'majutsushi/tagbar' to show me a nice tagbar

fwiw, extra/ctags is universal ctags: https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/ctags/

I stand corrected, I use universal ctags

all these different versions had me pulling my hair out, so i was curious 🙂

bbl - kid needs feeding 🙂

thanks for mentioning vim-gutentags -- hope the feeding goes well 😉

meh. i'm using ubuntu's exuberant-ctags: Version: 1:5.9~svn20110310-11! 😱

its last official release is even older! > Version 5.8 [09 July 2009] -- http://ctags.sourceforge.net/

no debian/ubuntu packages make universal-ctags hard to accept, though 😢

@snoe trying to debug my coc-clojure not showing doc on hover, still the case. I've got trace on and I can see coc sending the uri along with position and line number, then following into the clojure-lsp code, I can see where the information is attempting to be gathered, but the result is like this:

[Trace - 20:47:46] Sending request 'textDocument/hover - (3)'.
Params: {
    "textDocument": {
        "uri": "file:///home/foo/ojure/scratch/src/scratch/foobar.clj"
    },
    "position": {

        "character": 2
    }
}

Hrm, are you building from the repo? the homebrew formula is out of date. You can also try deleting the project's .lsp folder

nope, using arch, using the release version of clojure-lsp

deleted the .lsp, no joy

Is this cljs or clj?

clj

@clojurians-slack100 is this not something that's usable? https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=universal-ctags
