Missing Metadata when running unit tests

[Adam Krieg]

I'm trying to add some extra metadata on functions defined by users so that I can group them up and run them, ala clojure.test's deftest.  This seems to work from the Repl, but when I run from the maven plugin, it all goes awry.

(ns my.scenario

  (require [clojure.repl :as repl]

           [clojure.test :as test]))

(defn find-tests

  "Examines a namespace and finds all the tests"

  [ns]

  (letfn [(test-symbol? [s]

                        (println (str "symbol = " s " meta = " (meta (resolve s))))

                          (:test (meta (resolve s))))]

  (for [s (repl/dir-fn ns) :when (test-symbol? s)]

    s)))

And my test is:

(ns my.scenario-test

  (require [clojure.test :as test]

           [my.scenario :as scenario]))

;Some other non-test function

(defn not-a-test [])

;Tests that we can lookup all tests defined for a namespace

(test/deftest query-namespace

  (println (str "namespace " *ns*))

  (test/is (= 1

              (count (scenario/find-scenarios 'my.scenario-test)))))

When I run it locally, I see the output:

namespace my.scenario-test

symbol = not-a-test meta = {:ns #<Namespace my.scenario-test>, :name not-a-test,clojure/my/scenario_test.clj", :column 1, :line 7, :arglists ([])}

symbol = query-namespace meta = {:ns #<Namespace my.scenario-test>, :name query-namespace, :file "clojure/my/scenario_test.clj", :column 1, :line 14, :test #<scenario_test$fn__3699 my.scenario_test$fn__3699@d9a68cd>}

query-namespace)

When I run it in Maven with the Clojure Maven plugin, I see the output:

namespace com.theoryinpractise.clojure.testrunner
symbol = not-a-test meta = 
symbol = query-namespace meta = 

Why is the metadata stripped off the symbols?

i would expect to find the metadata on the var, not the symbol.

I would suspect that (resolve) would return the var.

I've not tried it yet - but I suspect we're falling into AOT issues here with the code being compiled in test-compile and being run separately in the test phase.

I assume meta-data is only retained at run-time and not compiled into the AOT classes anywhere.
