Clojurians Log v2

I don’t think we need more help with this particular issue, but there are always other issues one can tackle. 😄

I really need to do that. Let me see what I can find.

what is the cider command that lets me evaluate a function under the point in the minibuffer, supplying arguments?

or an equivalent.

I’m constantly typing out functions in my buffer with arguments so I can evaluate them then deleting them. So, if I made

(defn foobar [x]
  (* 2 x))

(foobar 8)

aha, found it: cider-read-and-eval-defun-at-point

I remember now. I also remember I was getting errors and that’s why I had stopped using it and thus forgotten it.

I’ll put the error in a thread…

when running cider-read-and-eval-defun-at-point on

(defn foobar [x]
  (* 2 x))

cider-eval-defun-at-point works fine, however.

to define the function in the buffer, that is.

This is a cljs file in a Reagent project, by the way, running in a browser.

I then delete it.

I do this with most functions I define, so dozens of times a day. Probably my doing this is the result of a bad approach… not sure.
