Clojure can't find .clj in local directory, . and ./classes on CLASSPATH

Question

When I evaluate (use \'hello) to load hello.clj, the REPL complains with the following error:

java.io.FileNotFoundException: Could not locate hello__init.cla         


        

Answer 1

when I'm working from the repl and want to load files i find i have to call something like this first:

(add-classpath "file:///home/arthur/.../src/")
(add-classpath "file:///home/arthur/.../build/")

before the repl can find them on the classpath. I put these in a file that is not included in the jar file along with a statement that reloads everything from the other files. When I build a jar file i find I don't need to do this.
