Is there a setting I missed somewhere that can limit output? If not, any thoughts about how to implement something like that? Would it be alright to just change nrepl-emit-output to (optionally) truncate large outputs? I hacked this together and it seems to work.

 

Hi Chris,

nrepl.el is using clojure.pprint/pprint, which honors the dynamic variable *print-length* so one solution would be to set *print-length* in your REPL session.

http://clojure.github.com/clojure/clojure.core-api.html#clojure.core/*print-length*.

Another longer term solution that we could think about would be to modify the pprint-ing code to accept a :level parameter which is configured in nrepl.el and passed along to the pretty printer.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,

Tim
