"Auto-Confirmation: Automatically Saying Yes" but how?

Question

i have

(defun insert-buffername ()
 (interactive)
 (compile (concat "lua " (buffer-file-name))))

 (global-set-key (kbd "C-c C-e") #'insert-buffername)

but when i use this key binding it always asks me "Save file: (y, n, !, ...)" question which i would prefer not to see every time. I can not adopt the code in https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/YesOrNoP to my case. Need help

Try customizing (or binding) compilation-ask-about-save to nil. C-h v tells you:

compilation-ask-about-save is a variable defined in compile.el.

Its value is t

Documentation:

Non-nil means M-x compile asks which buffers to save before compiling.

Otherwise, it saves all modified buffers without asking.

You can customize this variable.

If you want to just bind it in your command, then do this:

(defun insert-buffername ()
  (interactive)
  (let ((compilation-ask-about-save  nil))
   (compile (concat "lua " (buffer-file-name)))))
