Clojure namespace change watcher, separate from test framework?

[Stuart Halloway]

Does this exist? If not, what is the closest jumping off point for making it?

I wrote ns-tracker, based off Stuart Sierra's Lazytest code:

Is that the sort of thing you were looking for?

watching the filesystem for changes and loading saved code is one
interpretation, in other cases you might want to listen for changes to
the namespace object (possibly triggered by a filesystem watcher). I'd
suggest extending add-watch support to namespaces, but the semantics
don't match (all things that can currently be watched are mutable
references to immutable data, namespaces are mutable). Maybe Namespace
could implement some of the change listener java bean stuff.

Ah, I see. I briefly wondered why this was posted in clojure-dev, but
I didn't make the connection. We're talking about a more general
namespace watching mechanism for a future version of Clojure?

Hi James,

Exactly the sort of thing I am looking for, thanks.

Brenton Ashworth started work on refactoring the ns-monitoring in Lazytest as a future contrib library. I don't think he finished.
