As I've mentioned in my first post, I'm coding a function that finds functions with a certain metadata field within namespaces I pass on to it. To test it, I want to set up namespaces with minimal stuff for testing, namespaces that I want to throw away once the test is passed. My problems don't seem to stop at referencing the stuff I put in these temporary namespaces. It also seems that the (defn) macros that I expected would define mappings in the temporary namespaces expand before the execution of the test function. This means that these definitions don't go in the temporary namespaces, but in the same namespace as the test function itself. The only way that I've found yet to effectively put these defn's in the temp namespaces is to wrap them in quoted-lists and invoke eval: (eval '(defn fn-a [] :a/a)) The posts I got to read last week with regards to eval suggested it was bad style. Is there a more elegant way to do this? Benoit --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
