reloading a ns in repl

Question

Lets say I have a code file that has the ns - (ns abc.a). Now I start my repl and am in the ns- (use-ns 'abc.a).

Now if I change any code in the file, how do I get to reload the ns in the repl?

Thanks, Murtaza

Answer 1

You can hot reload the code with (require :reload 'abc.a) or (require :reload-all 'abc.a). The latter also reloads all the required namespaces of abc.a while the former only reloads abc.a.

Answer 2

You can use load-file to reload the file.
