cider-jump fails when nrepl server isn't local

[hugoduncan]

The cider-jump command looks for symbols in local jar files, rather than in jar files on the nrepl server.

@jeffvalk, would you please have a look at this?

@tpope added a 'resource' info key for this use-case in vim.

@bbatsov Is this not the intent of cider-use-local-resources? The tramp usage in CIDER isn't anything I'm too familiar with...

[bbatsov]

@jeffvalk Frankly, I'm not particularly familiar with the tramp usage myself. I might eventually get to check this, but these days I'm mostly trying to figure out problems like #583 and #587. I found so many problems with the existing code in nrepl-client.el, that I'm feeling pretty down right now...

[jeffvalk]

@bbatsov I hear you loud and clear. I'll give this one a look (it's also somewhat related to #552, which I'd like a clean solution for). At the moment, I don't have a non-local server handy to investigate though.

@hugoduncan Could you try (setq cider-use-local-resources nil) and see if the current tramp behavior works for your original test case?

[hugoduncan]

Setting cider-use-local-resources to nil causes things to work correctly. Is there any rationale for having the default as t?

Note that this isn't just related to tramp usage - it is possible to connect to a remote repl without using tramp.

[jeffvalk]

Possibly to avoid transport of large files over a constrained network connection -- but that's just a guess. (For instance, if you're VPN-ed in remotely, cider-jump into the 40+MB JDK src.zip might hurt.)

For reference, it looks like that feature was introduced in a9763ea. It also looks like having the cider-use-local-resources flag set does not prevent the remote resource from being resolved; it just prefers a local one if one exists. @hugoduncan Is this true in your case?

[lsgrep]

Is it possible to view source code while connecting to remote REPL? I am getting "No source Location".

I have the same question with @c4ravan.

Would anyone look into this. Thanks.
