Set default connection settings for nrepl

[precompute]

Hi! Been using Cider for a while. This is something I have been putting up with and haven't been able to find a solution for.

Every single time I open a .clj file, cider pops up asking to connect to a nrepl (cider-connect-*, cider-jack-in-*). If I don't have a nrepl active, it exits with an error. Often, the buffer stays the same and every single time I revert I have to enter the port details manually. I'm doing this for EVERY clojure buffer! It's very annoying! Is there a way to make it shut up or accept some default port settings?

Config:

(use-package cider
  :elpaca (:depth 1)
  :hook (clojure-mode . cider))

That's not our traditional behavior at all - if it was we'd get a lot of complaints 😄

It sounds like something is invoking cider-mode too early. Maybe it's some other package or bit of setup.

I'd suggest fixing that first, and then re-evaluating whether you need default connection settings - I wouldn't be too keen on facilitating workarounds.

Cheers - V

cider is an interactive command for jacking in / connecting to a repl, you probably meant to add cider-mode instead to your clojure-mode-hook. (which simply starts the minor mode and enables CIDER's bindings in the background)

That worked! Thank you.
I still have to enter the details manually, though. Is there a way around that?

However you don't particularly need it - you can make your own helper that performs cider-connect-clj / cider-jack-in with specific params.

If you normally use cider-connect-clj, there's not a lot to type anyway thanks to open port detection (so normally it's RET for the localhost suggestion, RET for the detected port)
