naming your project "clojure" with "lein new clojure" gives problems

[Sean Neilan]

Hello Lisperati,

Naming your project "clojure" is a bad idea because doing

seans-macaroni-book:BigNumberNames seanneilan$ lein  new clojure

Created new project in: /Users/seanneilan/BucketsOfNantucket/BigNumberNames/clojure

Look over project.clj and start coding in clojure/core.clj

seans-macaroni-book:BigNumberNames seanneilan$ cd clojure

will give you problems...

seans-macaroni-book:clojure seanneilan$ lein repl

Copying 1 file to /Users/seanneilan/BucketsOfNantucket/BigNumberNames/clojure/lib

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError

     at clojure.main.<clinit>(main.java:20)

Caused by: java.lang.IllegalStateException: Attempting to call unbound fn: #'clojure.core/refer

     at clojure.lang.Var$Unbound.throwArity(Var.java:43)

     at clojure.lang.AFn.invoke(AFn.java:39)

     at clojure.lang.Var.invoke(Var.java:401)

When I made a new project called "clj" it worked just fine.

seans-macaroni-book:BigNumberNames seanneilan$ lein new clj

Created new project in: /Users/seanneilan/BucketsOfNantucket/BigNumberNames/clj

Look over project.clj and start coding in clj/core.clj

seans-macaroni-book:BigNumberNames seanneilan$ cd clj/

seans-macaroni-book:clj seanneilan$ ls

README          project.clj     src          test

seans-macaroni-book:clj seanneilan$ lein repl

Copying 1 file to /Users/seanneilan/BucketsOfNantucket/BigNumberNames/clj/lib

REPL started; server listening on localhost port 21062

Does this count as a bug?

Thank you for your time.

It used to be that lein new would not allow you to create projects
with "jure" in the name. I guess that restriction has disappeared,
which is unfortunate since it would have prevented the problem you ran
into...

[Sean Neilan]

I agree. That would be helpful.

This is definitely a bug. I just ran into this problem and was not able to decipher the error messages, and digging up this thread wasn't too easy either.

It was improved in Leiningen 2.1: it refuses to create projects named "clojure" and only use *jure names if

you force it with an ENV variable.
