There have been so many reports from users that want to eval code from random context into whatever their most recent REPL is that we should probably add an option to allow this.

There's at least 1 person complaining about the changes we've made every day. :-)

For that particular issue I agree with your second suggestion.

Opening this issue for those interested in an option to mimic the behavior of previous versions of CIDER, in which code is evald in the "default repl".

I find the new behavior frustrating because I run many separate instances of emacs, each one connected to zero or one nREPL connections.

That means I never had any confusion about where the code was being evaluated, and could easily eval code in a checkout or even just a fork of some dependency.

Such an option would be useful for those of us who launch separate Emacsen for separate projects.

I found a workaround that does what I want. YMMV.

In my cider-connect-mode-hook I run this:

    (sesman-link-with-buffer (current-buffer) (car (hash-table-values sesman-sessions-hashmap)))

and it seems to behave like the old CIDER.

Yeah, I completely agree we should add some extra configuration for this. Seems we just failed to anticipate all the ways in which people were using CIDER. In the classic style of software engineering - we managed to solve a problem for some of the users, by creating a problem for another part of the users. 😆

Anyways, I believe that some behaviour of the type "if there's no session for this context just use the most recent session" should be very easy to implement. I'm taking a break from CIDER to focus on some other things, but I'm hoping that @vspinu or someone else will be able to take a look at this soon.
Afterwards I'd be happy to cut a 0.18.1 release.

Okay, that description helps me grok what's relevant, perhaps I can add such an option. I'm happy with my cider-connect-mode-hook hack for right now and I can't work on this today but I'll come back to it.

Thank you for making CIDER so fun and useful @bbatsov ... 🍻

I am traveling till 9th. Will have a look then. The automatic linking of dependency projects should go a long way in solving this. I will also add an option to sesman to pick first available repl if no link is in place.

Sounds like a plan to me!
