https://ask.clojure.org/index.php/tag/autoresolved https://ask.clojure.org/index.php/8856/how-read-namespaced-keywords-with-clojure-tools-reader-read <p>I'm using clojure.tools.reader/read for reading clojure and cljs forms from files.</p> <p>Everything works fine but reading namespaced keywords like <code>::keyword</code> get read as :user/keyword. </p> <p>I know the reader uses <em>ns</em> dynamic var to figure out the current namespace for reading symbols and keywords but I don't know how to use it to read a non existing namespace, like the one from the file I'm just reading.</p> <p>I'm trying a (in-ns file-ns-symbol) before doing the read so it creates the ns before reading and it works but sometimes I'm getting <code>java.lang.IllegalStateException: Can't change/establish root binding of: *ns* with set</code></p> <p>Just doing </p> <pre><code>(binding [*ns* file-ns-symbol] (reader/read ...)) </code></pre> <p>doesn't work since it will try to call (the-ns file-ns-symbol) for a ns that doesn't exist.</p> <p>Any ideas or pointers on how to do this?</p> <p>Thanks!</p> tools.reader https://ask.clojure.org/index.php/8856/how-read-namespaced-keywords-with-clojure-tools-reader-read Mon, 18 Nov 2019 14:04:04 +0000
