Add argument to cider-jack-in to allow specification of profiles

[hugoduncan]

When starting a repl for a project, it is useful to be able to specify profiles that should be used.

I'm not sure how this would interact with the current prefix argument that allows specification of the project.

Fixed in #544.

why cannot i use cider-jack-in-with-profile now?

I'm not sure, but maybe developers thinks that cider-lein-parameters variable is enought for such task.

Exactly.

Huh... I'm running emacs25 with cider from melpa, but it wont let me interactively invoke set-variable and supply "cider-lein-parameters" ... it says variable does not exist... However, adding this line to my .emacsrc worked fine!

(set-variable 'cider-lein-parameters "with-profile +jetty repl")

@bherrmann7 The variable is cider-lein-parameters. You're missing an e in parametrs.

@xiongtx Thanks, I corrected my comment. I was trying to set the correct value. It seems like emacs doesnt like you to set variables that arent already in existance. Perhaps something like make-variable instead of set ?

[xiongtx]

Did you (require 'cider) to load the variable?

[bherrmann7]

@xiongtx Thanks again for taking the time. So, I'm doing exactly this on ubuntu 17.04,
$ emacs
I TYPE: M-x
I TYPE: set-variable
Emacs prompts: Set Variable:
I TYPE: cider-lein-parameters
Emacs says: [No Match]

[xiongtx]

Try this:

1. Start Emacs
2. In *scratch* buffer, type (require 'cider), put cursor after ), and eval-last-sexp (C-x C-e).
3. set-variable...cider-lein-parameters

[bherrmann7]

Thanks @xiongtx That did work!

[xiongtx]

Cool, so put (require 'cider) in your init file before the part where you set cider-lein-parameters. Or use-package if you're into that.

I add a function to my emacs init script to deal with this issue, see:
