in use with tests about boot-reload HOT 4 CLOSED

The runner namespace doesn't depend on the test namespaces.

When a test namespace is changed, only the dependent namespaces are recompiled and as runner ns is not such, it is not reloaded. This is the way incremental compilation is implemented in ClojureScript compiler. You could check how the compiler works by compiling the same project with cljs.jar and using cljs.compiler.api/watch.

To fix this you should require all the test namespaces in the runner ns.

Please reopen or create another issue if this doesn't fix this.

Sorry for leaving this dangling. Including the tests specifically in the runner fixes the problem, although in an inconvenient manner. I'll keep thinking and come up with a better solution.

Due to how ClojureScript compiler works, and how boot-reload leverages it, this is not easy thing to solve. The compiler depends on static dependency information to select which namespaces and in which order to compile, and boot-reload completely depends on that.

Check https://github.com/crisptrutski/boot-cljs-test. It is not perfect, and doesn't really solve this problem yet but there are two issues related to this: crisptrutski/boot-cljs-test#40 crisptrutski/boot-cljs-test#7
