How to get the namespace for an unqualified symbol?
I was looking at combining the namespace and resolve functions: user= (def x 5) #'user/x user= (resolve 'x) #'user/x user= (namespace 'user/x) user user= (namespace 'x) nil user= (namespace (resolve 'x)) ClassCastException clojure.lang.Var cannot be cast to clojure.lang.Named clojure.core/namespace (core.clj:1497) In the final expression I was expecting to get the value user. Having read the doc's I understand that the return type from resolve is not compatible with namespace: namespace: Returns the namespace String of a symbol or keyword, or nil if not present. resolve: Returns the var or Class to which a symbol will be resolved in the current namespace else nil. Question: given a symbol 'x' how can I determine the 'fully qualified' symbol (i.e. 'user/x')? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Clojure group.

How about backquote? user= (def x 5) #'user/x user `x user/x Bye, Tassilo -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Clojure group.

Yikes! Try ((juxt (comp ns-name :ns) :name) (meta (resolve 'inc))) - name information is stored on the var's meta in a clojure-friendly way - no need to use undocumented behavior on the java internals.

Assuming the symbol is bound to a Var, you can do this: (name (ns-name (:ns (meta (resolve 'x) -S -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Clojure group.
