How to redirect swank server output to emacs buffer?

Question

I want to redirect my swank server output to an emacs buffer. I put this in ~/.swank.lisp, but this does not work-

(setf swank:*globally-redirect-io* t)

Im using Clojure box.

Thanks.

Answer 1

If you're using clojure-jack-in, the output of the swank server will appear in a buffer named *swank* (So you can see it with C-x b *swank*)

I you aren't using clojure-jack-in, you can still get the same effect by starting your swank server within emacs. Here's how I start mine:

(start-file-process "swank-process" "*swank*" "lein" "swank")

This starts up a swank server, and pushes all of the output into a buffer named *swank* (just like clojure-jack-in does.)

Answer 2

Have you looked at elein? It will allow you to start the swank server right within emacs. See the elein-swank emacs buffer to see the server output.
