I had the same issue.

You can add a hook, like this:

(add-hook 'slime-connected-hook 'your-hook)

to get the appropriate actions to happen AFTER slime is set up.

The problem is that the function 'slime-connected-p' is returning 'nil', meaning that there isn't a swank connection... Can somebody tell me why?

IIRC the call to SLIME returns almost immediately, but setting the connection up takes a while -- so you need to wait for it a bit.

I changed the code to:

(save-current-buffer   (slime-disconnect)   (if (get-buffer "*inferior-lisp*")       (kill-buffer "*inferior-lisp*"))   (slime)   (while (not (slime-connected-p))     (sleep-for 1)))

I could be wrong, but I think sleep-for doesn't do what you think it does. In particular, sleep-for doesn't call timer functions, which is needed to toggle the connected-p flag. Try sit-for instead.

Consider something like:

(lexical-let ((hook nil) (done nil)) (setq hook (lambda () (remove-hook 'slime-connected-hook hook) (setq done t))) (add-hook 'slime-connected-hook hook) (slime) (while (not done) (sit-for 1)))

and it stays in the 'while' loop for more than 5 minutes (i "only" waited 5 minutes), meaning that 'slime-connected-p' is returning 'nil'...

Can you tell why i can't make the connection?

Again I could be wrong, but apparently you are trying to restart the Lisp process and connecting to it. Have a look at slime-restart-inferior-lisp(-aux) to see how to properly kill the process.
