Configuriable "Use Leiningen REPL port" Option for remote nREPL

[thheller]

Currently Cursive can be configured to use the Leiningen generated .nrepl-port file to figure out which port to connect to. It would be very useful for shadow-cljs if it was possible to configure which file Cursive used. shadow-cljs generates .shadow-cljs/nrepl.port to avoid conflicting with .nrepl-port by default. Unfortunately there is no way to tell Cursive to use that file.

Maybe just a simple text input to configure the file path which defaults to .nrepl-port. Something generic that isn't tied to any particular tool would be nice.

Yes, this is a good idea. I have some ongoing REPL work happening, I'll add this to that.

Any timeframe for this? Configuring a fixed nrepl port is still a major annoyance and I can't use .nrepl-port because lein uses that and I don't want to fight over that file.

[cursive-ide]

Sorry for the delay with this. This is fixed for the next EAP. Users can now select between "Default", which uses a fixed list of common port files, and specifying a custom file. .shadow-cljs/nrepl.port is now also in the default list, so most users shouldn't have to touch anything unless they're customising something.

Wohoo! Thanks.

I'll second that. Thank you Colin! 👏
