Restarting CLJS repl when using cider-restart

[leppert]

cider-jack-in-clojurescript is a great convenience method for booting up a piggiebacked ClojureScript REPL. It'd be handy to have an equally easy way to restart both the primary CLJ and piggiebacked CLJS repls, perhaps by modifying or extending cider-restart.

Does this already exist by chance? Any big barriers to its existence?

I think it will be really easy to extend to cider-restart restart both REPLs. The only reason we haven't done is probably because we didn't think about this. I don't do ClojureScript development myself and rarely come up with ideas to improve the ClojureScript support in CIDER.

As far as I can tell, this feature is implemented?

(defun cider-restart (&optional restart-all)
  "Restart the currently active CIDER connection.
If RESTART-ALL is t, then restarts all connections."
  (interactive "P")
  (cider-ensure-connected)
  (if restart-all
      (dolist (conn cider-connections)
        (cider--restart-connection conn))
    (cider--restart-connection (cider-current-connection))))

Have you tried this with a prefix?

Looks like the clojurescript repl comes back but doesn't "know" to run its invoking stuff: ie, the initial invoking of the cljs repl. also looks like a couple errors pop up at the bottom as well.

Seems we need a solution similar to the one tracking the invocation command here #1905 //cc @cskksc
