I defined my DEFPACKAGE like this

Code: Select all

(defpackage :test
  (:nicknames #:test #:t)
I would like "test to be shown on the REPL but it keeeps defaulting to "t". I think it picks shortest one. I s there any way to change this. Thanks in advance for any help on this

This is not an ASDF issue. It is a package and implementation dependent issue.

It appears that some implementations prefer the shortest package nickname to use in the prompt. You just have to dig out the relevant configuration bit for your implementation(s). In any case YMMV.
