salve.vim

Static Vim support for Leiningen, Boot, and the Clojure CLI.

Leiningen ran… [the ants] would get to him soon, despite the salve on
his boots.

– from “Leiningen versus the Ants”

Features

• :Console command to start a REPL or focus an existing instance if already
  running using dispatch.vim.
• Autoconnect fireplace.vim to the REPL, or autostart it with :Console.
• Navigation commands: :Esource, :Emain, :Etest,
  and :Eresource.
• Alternate between test and implementation with :A.
• Use :make to invoke lein, boot, or clojure, complete with stacktrace
  parsing.
• Default dispatch.vim’s :Dispatch to running the associated test file.
• 'path' is seeded with the classpath to enable certain static Vim and
  fireplace.vim behaviors.

FAQ

Why does it sometimes take a few extra seconds for Vim to startup?

Much of the functionality of salve.vim depends on knowing the classpath.
When possible, this is retrieved from a fireplace.vim connection, but if
not, this means a call to lein classpath or boot show --fake-classpath.

Once retrieved, the classpath is cached until a project manifest file
changes: for Leiningen project.clj or ~/.lein/profiles.clj, for Boot
build.boot or ~/.boot/profile.boot, for the Clojure CLI deps.edn or
~/.clojure/deps.edn.
