ANN: Emacs auto-complete plugin for slime users
Steve Purcell
A while ago I hooked Slime's completion and documentation features into the popular Emacs auto-completion framework "auto-complete" (http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/AutoComplete).
Since it may be of interest to others, I've released the completion plugin on github: http://github.com/purcell/ac-slime
Here's a screenshot of the plugin in action in a clojure-mode buffer, showing the (very handy) pop-up documentation:

Excellent - so if there are any quirks with this plugin, at least there'll be a couple more users to help fix it up now!
(For instance, it doesn't work perfectly if you type "some-namespace/" and then try to start completion, but that might be something related to my slime completion settings. And also, I haven't managed to bind it to TAB in the REPL yet...)
Incidentally, I've also got a hippie-expand source for SLIME somewhere in my emacs config: http://github.com/purcell/emacs.d

Definitely. :-)

It seems to work for me. I'd gist the relevant part of my config for
you, except I'm not sure which is the relevant part... I'll have to
look closer.
On the other hand, I'm having mixed luck with fuzzy completion...
slime-fuzzy-complete-symbol offers 'with-bindings and 'with-bindings*
as completions for 'wi-bi, but so far I haven't been able to provoke
ac + ac-slime to do the same (with (lambda () (set-up-slime-ac t)) in
my slime-mode-hook and slime-repl-mode-hook).
> And also, I haven't managed to bind it to TAB in the REPL yet...)
(add-hook 'slime-connected-hook
(lambda ()
(define-key slime-mode-map (kbd "TAB") 'auto-complete)
(define-key slime-repl-mode-map (kbd "TAB") 'auto-complete)))
I also put (lambda () (auto-complete-mode t)) in the hooks for
slime-mode and slime-repl-mode.

Cool! I'll look around. :-)

Sure:
There are light and dark versions, and I switch between them with "M-x light" and "M-x dark" depending on how my eyes feel: http://github.com/purcell/emacs.d/blob/master/init-themes.el
I'll willingly split the theme out into a separate git repo if it makes a difference to anyone.

Ah, yes, that would work. Using 'slime-connected-hook was the bit I was missing.
Thanks!

just yesterday I took a first look at auto-complete together with your
slime auto completion sources.
I'm encountering some Exceptions, though,
If I'm in a .clj-buffer and start typing
(clojure.
and then wait for the auto completion to popup I see a list of
possible completions like, e.g., clojure.set, clojure.xml and more,
and then an Exception pops up:
clojure.set

Did anybody else see this? I can reproduce this at will and can
easily test things if you want.

That seems to be a slime/swank problem, related to accessing the documentation for a symbol corresponding to a namespace. In a clojure-mode buffer, use M-: to execute the following expression:
(slime-eval '(swank:documentation-symbol "clojure.set"))
This results in the same error. I'll cross-post to the swank-clojure list to see if anyone knows what might be going wrong.

Underlying all this, the following clojure function call produces the error:
(find-doc clojure.set)

I'm using slime.el version 2010404, which does not define that function, although it does define slime-simple-completions. Not sure if there's a newer version of slime.el out there but I did install fresh about a week or two ago.

To use fuzzy completions you need to have and require slime-fuzzy.el, which comes with the full slime, but not with the version in ELPA.

I've fixed the problem in my fork of swank-clojure and requested that Phil pull the commit into the master repo:

i applied your patch but still throws on clojure.main and on some

MHOOO's code above seems to resolve my errors.

I guess Phil's very busy, but if he can apply this patch, then the regular swank-clojure 1.3.0-SNAPSHOT on clojars should end up containing the fix.

correctly. I tried to hook it using (add-hook 'slime-repl-mode-hook
(lambda () (auto-complete-mode t) but it doesn't seems to do anything.
I have to open the mode manually.

it a try!

following the instructions on your github page, works like a charm.
Brilliant work.

I have a problem though:
If I press 'tab' before the doc strings show up I get a Nullpointerexception.
Any ideas?

I did some digging around..
Turns out a weird string gets passed to slime-simple-completions via ac-prefix.
Suppose it's a bug in auto-complete-mode.
#("mapcat" 0 6 (selection-face ac-slime-selection-face popup-face ac-slime-menu-face document ac-slime-documentation symbol "l")))
My first thought was to do a stringp check in ac-source-slime-simple-candidates.
But apparently that is a string, I would have guessed set...
Any proficient elispers out there?
