Command to run (-main)

[Malabarba]

I couldn't find anything about this in the readme or the issues list.
Is there a command to run the project's -main function?

Currently what I do is write ;; (-main) somewhere in the file, and then manually move point to it and hit C-x C-e whenever I want to run -main. Is there a built-in key for that?
If not, consider this a feature request.

There's no such command, but we can definitely add one. Guess we'll just have to check the list of known vars for -main and run it. If case of ambiguities we can prompt the user for action.

You can use the :init-ns and :init options in project.clj to accomplish this (see here), but any printed output will end up in *nrepl-server* rather than the REPL buffer.

Our oldest most dreaded problem. :-)

@Malabarba Now that you're pretty familiar with CIDER I guess you can implement this yourself. :-)

[Malabarba]

Ironically I no longer need it. :-) But it should be simple enough now. I'll take up the torch.

Is there a way to get the :main entry in from project.clj?

[bbatsov]

You can always read the file, but I really think the better approach would be to just filter all vars for -main and give the user the option to select the one they need. Using project.clj is lein specific and we should avoid doing tool specific things.

Good point!
