Reconnect after compile?

[rudolf-adamkovic]

Actual:

1. Edit some C or Swift code
2. Build the project with C-x p c
3. In one of the C or Swift buffers, execute eglot-reconnect

Expected:

1. Edit some C or Swift code
2. Build the project with C-x p c

In other words, I would like to auto-reconnect (all instances of) Eglot after compilation.

How far I got:

(add-to-list 'compilation-finish-functions
             (lambda (buffer description)
               (eglot-reconnect (eglot-current-server))))

This does not work because eglot-current-server equals nil in the compilation buffer.

Could we have some kind of eglot-reconnect-all procedure perhaps?

Servers are indexed by project and major-mode. The project should theoretically be determined correctly in the compilation buffer, but the major-mode is probably compilation-mode, and thus wrong. You may have some success binding major-mode to c-mode or swift-mode around the call to eglot-current-server. If that works, then maybe a MODE parameter can be added to eglot-current-server.

@joaotavora I will try that, thank you! (And I apologize for replying so late.)
