Silly ns question

[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

Haha!  (Can .shared.connection-test be require'd by another ns?)

I haven't messed with it extensively, but it works from the REPL.

Weird. Also I thought your file name would need an underscore.

Oops, yes. I typoed the file name.

It just got stranger.

Same project. I've been tinkering with it for about an hour a night.

I don't think I've changed anything significant structurally, although
I have restarted the JVM.

I created a new file, world_test.cljc, in the same shared/ folder as
connection_test.cljc.

cider set up the ns directive the same way, so it's

(ns .shared.world-test ...)

This time, trying to compile it failed with the error "Namespace
.shared.world-test has a segment starting with an invaild JavaScript
identifier"

Aside from misspelling "invalid", that's about what I expect.

And now the original '.shared.connection-test ns fails with the same error.
