Silly ns question

2019-02-15 Thread James Gatannah
I'm using cider 0.18.0 (which is sweet) and emacs.

I just created a new buffer inside a new directory, and it generated the 
preliminary ns form for me (also sweet).

The path to the file under my source directory is 
"shared/connection-test.cljc".

The symbol of the ns that it generated is ".shared.connection-test".

I haven't seen that leading dot before. My first reaction was "That can't 
be legal." But, so far, the compiler doesn't seem to mind.

Does anyone have a pointer to docs that explain what's going on?

Thanks,
James

Re: type function returning a NullPointerException

What's the stack trace when you get an NPE? (pst *e)

Are you shadowing a core function with your own `count` or something like 
that?

Re: type function returning a NullPointerException

2019-02-15 Thread KJO
Damn! That shadowing thing has tripped me up a bunch of times. I'm 
sheepish. Thanks for the reply.

And the type thing is just more of the same (more sheepish) - events do 
conspire against us. I'd been trying to track it down for quite a while. 
Appreciate the help.

Best

type function returning a NullPointerException

2019-02-15 Thread KJO
Hi-

This one has me stumped. The following code snippet throws a 
NullPointerException and I just can't understand how it could.

(if (set? t-val)
  (println t-val (type t-val)))

It seems that if it's a set, it should have a set type.

If I change the code to 

(if (set? t-val)
  (println t-val (count t-val)))

It throws a ClassCastException
with java.math.BigDecimal cannot be cast to clojure.lang.IFn

The println is only there for debugging. I was seeing the count function 
throwing an exception further down in the code, and I couldn't understand 
why. Any ideas?

t-val is defined in a let, but if I take it out and use the original value, 
the result is the same. I'm afraid I can't reproduce the error in the REPL 
using any of the values I captured. The only other thing I can offer is 
that it's being used in a reducing function over a lazy sequence.

I'm stumped.

Thanks
