[slime-devel] SLIME talk at the Emacs Conference
by Luke Gorrie 08 Apr '15

08 Apr '15

Howdy! Long time no chat :-) I will give a talk at the Emacs Conference (emacsconf.org, London March 31) called "How to write an Emacs-based IDE like SLIME". The idea is to demo SLIME, explain how its development works, and give some encouragement and practical tips to people who might want to build something similar for other languages. If you have some ideas please fire away :) particularly about things I might easily overlook being as my SLIME know-how is about 10 years old! Cheers, -Luke

[slime-devel] cutting and pasting S-expressions from buffer to REPL
by Faheem Mitha 27 Dec '14

27 Dec '14

Hello everyone, I've recently started using SLIME with SBCl on Debian, where SLIME defaults to using SBCL, at least when it is installed. So far I am very impressed. I haven't been able to take off and fly yet, but I'm on the runway.:-) I'm particularly impressed by the underlining source which has compile errors, and doing a popup on mouseover feature. I don't know whose idea this was, but it is pretty damn cool. Does anyone know the history of this feature? So, I have a question about SLIME. When debugging, or indeed otherwise, I find it useful to copy and paste S-expressions from a buffer to the REPL. I've been using the mouse for this, which is decidedly sub-optimal. I hate using the mouse. I was thinking that it would be handy to have a command which would copy and paste S-expressions from a buffer to the REPL, while at the same time switching the buffer to the REPL. The S-expression would be chosen by having the cusor to the right of the closing expression. I'm not sure if this position has a name. I don't know if this command already exists. I could not find it in the manual. If it doesn't, could someone tell me what code would tell emacs to do this? My knowledge of Emacs programming is non-existent. Please CC me on any reply. Thanks. Regards, Faheem

[Slime-devel] Showing two test failures...
by Paul Bowyer 26 Aug '14

26 Aug '14

Hello list, I have a simple bash script that I use to upgrade and test slime that contains the following: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- #! /bin/bash # script name slime-github-setup cd ~/my-slime-sandbox [ -d ./slime ] && rm -rf ./slime #exit #debug exit git clone https://github.com/slime/slime.git cd ~/my-slime-sandbox/slime cd doc make slime.html cd .. #Proper order for these as of 5-22-14 per joao tavora make clean check-fancy make check ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The last time I used it, it ran fine and the test suite completed successfully. Today, however, I find the following two errors: Ran 198 tests, 196 results as expected, 2 unexpected (2014-08-24 18:05:09-0700) 1 expected failures 2 unexpected results: FAILED compile-defun-4 FAILED find-definition\.2-1 make: *** [check] Error 2 Specific error messages: Test compile-defun-4 backtrace: signal(ert-test-failed ("Check failed: error-location-correct")) ert-fail("Check failed: error-location-correct") slime-test-compile-defun("(defun cl-user::foo ()\n (list ` #[nil "\300\301\302\"\207" [slime-test-compile-defun "(defun cl-user byte-code("\306\307!▒q\210\310\216\311 \312\216\313\314\315\316\3 ert--run-test-internal([cl-struct-ert--test-execution-info [cl-struc byte-code("\306\307!\211▒\211r\310\311!q\210\312 d\313\223)L\210)\3 ert-run-test([cl-struct-ert-test compile-defun-4 "For input ((defun ert-run-or-rerun-test([cl-struct-ert--stats t [[cl-struct-ert-test a ert-run-tests(t #[(event-type &rest event-args) "\30\307\"\203G \ ert-run-tests-batch(t) slime-batch-test(t) eval((slime-batch-test (quote t))) command-line-1(("-L" "."

I'm using GNU Emacs 24.3.1 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.8.6). Is there now some reason why my simple script should cause the problem, or are these errors valid? Thanks, Paul Bowyer

[Slime-devel] Adding to Swank Load-Path
by Samuel Freilich 03 Aug '14

03 Aug '14

Loading a Slime module defined with define-slime-contribs will load its slime-dependencies from anywhere in the Emacs load-path. Swank, however, has its own load-path, so modules with Swank contrib dependencies don't work if they're in a non-default location. For example, if I have a module containing: (require 'slime) (define-slime-contrib my-slime-module "My custom Slime module" (:swank-dependencies my-swank-module)) (provides 'my-slime-module) Then running the following will fail if that module is anywhere other than the default SLIME directory: (require 'my-slime-module) (slime-setup '(my-slime-module)) I've seen two work-arounds, neither of them ideal: 1. Put something in ~/.swank.lisp to modify swank::*load-path*. (That works, but requires more setup and I have to change it if I'm loading from a different directory.) 2. Leave out that dependency from :swank-dependencies and add a hook to 'slime-connected-hook (called after slime-load-contribs) that calls slime-load-file. (That works, but is quite messy.) Is there a supported way for adding directories to the Swank load-path from SLIME? Should define-slime-contrib have a :swank-paths parameter or something? Peace, -Sam
