Clojurians Log v2

A new version of cider has been pushed to ELPA which fixes this issue.

That was quick. My pull request was just accepted earlier today. Excellent.

Hopefully you saw the discussion in #cider channel. I recommend using -A for now with Cider jack-in when setting the aliases in a .dir-locals.el file. Or using the universal argument before cider-jack-in-clj and edit the command line to add -M aliases in the correct position.

Yep, using -A or C-u and editing the command woks fine. Sadly, still cannot resolve my issue with cider-clojuredocs not working. I've tried everything I can think of and am now out of ideas. Nobody elase seems to be able to reproduce the issue, so it has to be something unique to what I'm doing, but I can't find it. I even have the same issue on different accounts and on different machines. Looks like either I will have to not use codumentation lookup from within emacs, use non-spacemacs config or stick with lein projects. very frustrating. Anyway, thanks for getting to the bottom of the -M and for your other assistance.

I'll take another look at the clojuredocs command over the weekend. You could backup your own .spacemacs config and try mine, to see if it makes any difference. You would just need to move your .spacemacs out of the way and clone this repo to ~/.spacemacs.d and start Emacs (it may give a warning about the fira font not being there, but otherwise should work fine) https://github.com/practicalli/spacemacs.d/

OK, I'll give that a go. I already us the fira fonts, so that is not an issue.

I have a PR with the fix for the -M flag in Cider, so hopefully that will be included in the next release. Its only moving two lines, so you could also hack the code in the cider package in ~/.emacs.d/elpa/.../cider.../cider.el https://github.com/clojure-emacs/cider/pull/2917/files

Sad news. Installed from spacemacs.d repository, using deps.edn from clojure-deps-edn repository and tried out project cloned from four-clojure repository and have the same problem. Only thing I changed in spacemacs.d was theme (gotham) and font size. Also wiped out .cache and elpa directories from .emacs.d so that all was 'fresh'. Updated to latest spacemacs develop as well.

@jr0cket Finally worked out what the issue is thanks to some help from Martin Racak. When running under spacemacs, you must load/evaluate the buffer at least once before documentation links work correctly (e.g. , h). Once you have loaded or evaluated the buffer, all works fine. This is not the case outside of spacemacs.

Great news. I think I tend to evaluate code before using doc functions. I am also used to just typing clojure something in a browser. However, having clojuredocs function now, I'm more likely to stay in Emacs.

Yes, I tend to use cider-apropos and cider-clojuredocs quite a bit and being able to do this quickly and easily inside emacs is something I've grown very use to. Still a bit weird that you don't need to manually evaluate the buffer when using pretty much the same setup outside of spacemacs. I originally 'discovered' this issue when working on a brand new project. I hadn't yet evaluated the buffer because I hadn't yet written anything needing evaluation. I wanted to just check the docs for a core function and did , h d and that is when the wheels dropped off!
