GitHub - clojure-emacs/cider-nrepl: A collection of nREPL middleware to enhance Clojure editors with common functionality like definition lookup, code completion, etc. (original) (raw)
CIDER nREPL
A collection of nREPLmiddleware, originally designed to enhanceCIDER.cider-nrepl
is also used:
and other Clojure development tools based on nREPL.
If you're just a user trying to get started with CIDER, then you probably don't want to read this. You should follow the steps inCIDER's user manual instead.
Tip
People who are new to nREPL might benefit from reading its user manual.
Documentation
Please refer to the documentation site for information on how to setup cider-nrepl
or how to leverage its nREPL API.
Release policy
We're following SemVer (as much as one can be following it when the major version is 0). At this point bumps of the minor (second) version number are considered major releases and always include new features or significant changes to existing features. API compatibility between major releases is not a (big) concern (although we try to break the API rarely and only for a good reason).
The development cycle for the next major release starts immediately after the previous one has been shipped. Bugfix/point releases (if any) address only serious bugs and never contain new features.
Contributing
Issues
Report issues and suggest features and improvements on theGitHub issue tracker. Don't ask questions on the issue tracker - the mailing list and the IRC channel are the places for questions.
Patches
Patches in any form are always welcome! GitHub pull requests are even better! :-)
Before submitting a patch or a pull request make sure all tests are passing and that your patch is in line with the contribution guidelines.
Local development
Local development tasks, like running the tests or locally installing cider-nrepl are offered by our Makefile. We recommend using it, since some aspects (e.g. the use of mranderson) can be intricate to newcomers.
These are its main tasks for local development:
Run tests, using mranderson (slower but more realistic)
make test
Run tests, without using mranderson (considerably faster)
make quick-test
Install the project in your local ~/.m2 directory, using mranderson (recommended)
The JVM flag is a temporary workaround.
export LEIN_JVM_OPTS="-Dmranderson.internal.no-parallelism=true" PROJECT_VERSION=X.Y.Z make install
Install the project in your local ~/.m2 directory, without using mranderson
(it's faster, but please only use when you repeatedly need to install cider-nrepl)
The JVM flag is a temporary workaround.
export LEIN_JVM_OPTS="-Dmranderson.internal.no-parallelism=true" PROJECT_VERSION=X.Y.Z make fast-install
Runs clj-kondo, cljfmt and Eastwood (in that order, with fail-fast).
Please try to run this before pushing commits.
make lint
Regenerates our user manual.
When you modify our middleware such that its schema changes, please reflect so in the cider.nrepl
namespace
and run:
make docs
Releasing to Clojars
Important
Make sure you've updated the changelog, docs/antora.yml
, etc before cutting a new release.
Release to clojars by tagging a new release:
git tag -a vX.Y.Z -m "Release X.Y.Z" git push --tags
The CI will take it from there.

Let's also acknowledge some of the projects leveraged by cider-nrepl:
- orchard - extracted from
cider-nrepl
, so that non-nREPL clients can leverage the generic tooling functionality (likeinspect
,apropos
,var-info
, etc - compliment - for Clojure code completion
- clj-suitable - for ClojureScript code completion using runtime inspection
- tools.namespace - for namespace reloading
- clj-reload - for namespace reloading
- cljfmt - for code formatting
