All the examples of defrecord I see seem simple enough and when I
experiment in the REPL I get things to work as they should. However,
when I move to 'real' code I can't get it to work at all.
The problem at hand is simple enough - I want to create a record that
hold records. For example I have (defrecord foo [list1, list2])
where list1 and list2 are defined records themselves. The issue is
that the data in list1 and list2 is dynamic - it is loaded from a file
at run time. So I do the following:
(def MyFoo (foo. nil nil))
(defn get-data [path]
(let [list1Data (load-data-from-file path)] ; fill in the record
for list 1
(assoc MyFoo :list1 list1Data) ; assign the data
record to the foo record
(:list1 foo)
))
As I say, if I do this non-dynamically in the REPL I get the proper
result.
In my program (using let) (:list1 foo) always remains nil. What am
I doing wrong? And how can I get the fields of foo to take on the
dynamic data.
