? If on a repl, but wanting to simulate a namespace ns in a project file

(in-ns 'foo.my-test)
  • hmm I thought that would give me access to the names in that namespace, but in my project, that didnt work…
  • My namespace in .. has
(ns foo.my-test
  (:require 
    [org.httpkit.client :as http]
    [org.httpkit.fake]))
  • and when i tried …
user=> (in-ns 'foo.my-test)
#object[clojure.lang.Namespace 0x37b2f7ef "foo.my-test"]

foo.my-test=> (org.httpkit.fake/with-fake-http ["http://google.com/" "faked"
                              #_=>                  "http://flickr.com/" 500]
                              #_=>   (:body @(http/get "http://google.com/"))    ; "faked"
                              #_=>   (:status @(http/get "http://flickr.com/"))) ; 500

ClassNotFoundException org.httpkit.fake  java.net.URLClassLoader.findClass (URLClassLoader.java:381)

Also initially confused with …

  • Starting new repl and cannot use require with raw library strings…
user=> (require [org.httpkit.client :as http])

CompilerException java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.httpkit.client, compiling:(/private/var/folders/mj/7bwn1wld4pscycn91fpjn1h40000gn/T/form-init5251815666209634293.clj:1:1)
  • but use works.
user=> (use '[org.httpkit.client :as http])
WARNING: get already refers to: #'clojure.core/get in namespace: user, being replaced by: #'org.httpkit.client/get
nil
  • Hmm even so, I am using :as http, so why is use replacing the clojure.core/get in this namespace?

but using a fresh repl,

  • this worked:

user=> (require ['org.httpkit.client :as 'http])
nil
user=> 

user=> (def v1 @(http/get "https://www.braveclojure.com/organization/"))
#'user/v1
user=> (keys v1)
(:opts :body :headers :status)
  • So here, 'org.httpkit.client is a symbol and not a variable like org.httpkit.client .
