How to compile clojure modules that are not under “src” in a lein project










0















I built my project using lein new app hello, so I have this structure



.
└── src
└── hello
└── core.clj
└── project.clj
└── test
└── ..


I want to add another helper module to my project such that I can use the code in both the tests and the src modules as I wanted it decoupled from the src directory.



So I added a helpers module



.
└── src
└── hello
└── core.clj
└── project.clj
└── test
└── helpers
└──hello
└── helpers.clj


How can I change my project.clj file to make lein run compile. lein run does not compile and throws the following error when I try to require the helpers namespace.




Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ClassNotFoundException:
hello.helpers, compiling:(hello/core.clj:7:3)




My project.clj file looks like the default one :



(defproject hello "0.1.0-SNAPSHOT"
:description "FIXME: write description"
:url "http://example.com/FIXME"
:license :name "Eclipse Public License"
:url "http://www.eclipse.org/legal/epl-v10.html"
:dependencies [[org.clojure/clojure "1.8.0"]]
:main ^:skip-aot hello.core
:target-path "target/%s"
:profiles :uberjar :aot :all)


However in the IDE(IntelliJ) it works fine in the REPL, without throwing the class not found exception.

          • using (:require [hello.helpers :as h]) is the correct way to require . I was just testing using (hello.helpers/test) and that did not work
