Improve REPL test development about bob HOT 6 CLOSED

Hey @aldosolorzano,
good catch. The :extra-path for :test-alias is not included. I believe because kaocha has this as a default value and it should not be needed when using kaocha as test-runner. It surely is not hurting adding the :extra-path to the :test-alias.

Yeah but I think the use case mentioned here is to have the test path in the usual repl mode as well which wouldn't use the :test alias. Maybe simply documenting that people should start their repls with an extra -Sdeps mentioning the test paths suffices than adding anything to the deps.edn?
Otherwise we need to have another alias :dev which would duplicate the deps just for adding the extra path?

I am starting my repl with clj -M:test:repl and it works somehow.

How would you do that? @lispyclouds I tried what @TimoKramer did and it's not working for me, I'm doing it inside the runner

I work with emacs+cider using nrepl so what it's wokring for me it's

:repl {:extra-paths ["test"]
                  :extra-deps {nrepl/nrepl {:mvn/version "0.8.3"}
                               cider/cider-nrepl {:mvn/version "0.30.0"}
                               org.clojure/test.check {:mvn/version "1.1.1"}
                               com.github.seancorfield/next.jdbc {:mvn/version "1.3.862"}}
                  :main-opts  ["-m" "nrepl.cmdline"
                               "--middleware" "[cider.nrepl/cider-middleware]"]}

But we have the duplicated extra-deps.
question: how do I know in which port a repl is running?

from bob.

@aldosolorzano Added a new task repl to all the bb.edns in the services in 0429b32

It should start an nREPL in a port with all the right paths and deps. Try that out, lemme know if that's any improvement!

from bob.

This seems to be addressed, do reopen otherwise!
