I built a small helper ns on top of tools.namespace to make this stuff easier, it's designed for component - but it might work with integrant

I'd love to share it but GH is down 😢

https://docs.cider.mx/cider/usage/misc_features.html#reloading-code

I set cider-ns-refresh-before-fn and cider-ns-refresh-after-fn in my projects’ .dir-locals.el file

I was just looking into how to do this..perfect timing, thanks!

I guess setting

(setq cider-refresh-after-fn "user/reset")

cider-refresh can be configured to call a function before and after the refresh, stoping and starting any services, e.g: https://practical.li/spacemacs/clojure-repl/component-lifecycle.html#configure-cider-refresh-to-use-component-lifecycle

Cider-undef will remove names (vars) from the running REPL, useful to avoid the need to restart the REPL due to name changes. I rarely restart the REPL unless I really did something messy https://practical.li/spacemacs/clojure-repl/refresh-restart-repl.html

Thank you!

@U05254DQM thanks so much - now I can remove lots of small rich comments removing namespaces!
