(mount/stop #'server) (mount/start #'server), or just clojure.tools.namespace.repl/refresh if you changed code and it affects the server, because the server will be restarted automatically

should i run that command in a REPL running in cusrive/IntelliJ or ? command line ?

i am super newbie and you can picture a squid flailing in the ocean to describe me apptitude with clojre right now

i loaded dev.user.clj file into the repl and with that command (mount/start .. ) i got N-> o such namespace: mount, ...

even though mount is required and declared in the require section of dev.user

sure, alias it

(require '[mount.core :as mount])

yes, you should run it from the repl

also you should switch to the namespace where the server is, or refer to it

assuming it is my.app.server, (in-ns 'my.app.server)

and assuming you want to stay in the user ns, (require '[my.app.server :as server]) and then (mount/start #'server/server)

trying

what do you mean by my.app.server ? i am aiming to run server locally for development

thanks for your help though .. i think what your telling me is correct, i am using datomic though so that is my sticking point. if it were not for that library ( not loading ) it would work fine

ok so you say you have a server as a stateful component. that component must be in a namespace

that namespace is what I mean by my.app.server, I don't know which name it has in your app

@U5LPUJ7AP thanks again for your help/time .. i think i got it ( i set up a REPL and had to set the alias to -> dev <- so it would be able to find the datomic libraries and i was able to mount/start the server
