Clojurians Log v2

Can you say more about what the :test alias is and the macro

I was able to partially reproduce it like so:

;; deps.edn
{:paths ["src"]
 :deps {org.clojure/clojure {:mvn/version "1.11.1"}}
 :aliases
 {:test
  {:exec-fn macrox.core/run-test}}}

;; src/macrox/core.clj
(ns macrox.core)

(defmacro get-debug-data []
  `(assoc ~(meta &form) :ns (str *ns*) :*file* *file*))

(defn ^:export run-test [& _]
  (prn (get-debug-data)))

clojure -X:test
{:line 7, :column 8, :ns "user", :*file* "NO_SOURCE_PATH"}

I say "partially" reproduce, because now I have line number and column. I didn't before, so maybe I've made a mistake in my original code.

-X is going to do the equivalent of ((requiring-resolve f) arg-map), there is no change in ns

*ns* behaves differently depending on how I run this at least.

*ns* is a really weird variable: it's pretty much never what people expect it to be. To capture the current ns, I typically do (def my-ns *ns*) since that captures it at load/compile time, otherwise it is bound to the initiating ns at runtime I think? (hence user)

Yes, or in some cases nil

I think compiled class with a main may give you the latter

Interesting. Is there a reliable way to get the namespace of the caller in a macro?
