*1 not getting bound

[deg]

In my nrepl buffer, *1 is not getting bound to the results of the last expression evaluated. Instead, it is always ().

Is this a known issue? Or, am i somehow misconfigured?

[kingtim]

Which version of nrepl.el are you using?

[deg]

nrepl.el "0.1.6-preview"
and, on the clojure side, nrepl "0.2.0-RC1"

Seems to be working fine to me. What's your Emacs version @deg?

[deg]

24.2.1

Are you using ac-nrepl or any other add-ons to nrepl.el?

This was fixed a while back in nrepl.el (see #105). I am wondering if some other function is not using the special session that is maintained for tooling related stuff, and is causing the problem.

[deg]

I am using ac-nrepl.
Full disclosure: I'm new to nrepl and copied someone else's public configuration, which included ac-nrepl. I'm not exactly sure what ac-nrepl gives me, nor if I need it. Is it problematic?

[bbatsov]

ac-nrepl replaces the standard Emacs completion mechanism with the popup-menus of auto-complete-mode (as found in most IDEs). If you don't care about those you can remove it from your config.

[deg]

I've just removed ac-nrepl, and it looks like that fixes the problem. Thanks!

I definitely need ac style completion less than I need *1, etc., so I'll leave ac-nrepl off for now.

Guess I should report this bug to the ac-nrepl folks. What info can I tell them, beyond "*1 doesn't work"? Or, are you already in touch with them?

[bbatsov]

Submit an issue to ac-nrepl's issue tracker https://github.com/purcell/ac-nrepl with a reference to the issue here. It's maintainer keeps a pretty close eye on all his projects so I guess you'll get a response from him very soon.

[kingtim]

Please let me know the issue number once you have posted it in ac-nrepl. I can prepare a pull request to resolve the issue there.

[deg]

Done, thanks. clojure-emacs/ac-nrepl#21
