How to reload a clojure file in REPL

Question

What is the preferred way of reloading functions defined in a Clojure file without having to restart the REPL. Right now, in order to use the updated file I have to:

• edit src/foo/bar.clj
• close the REPL
• open the REPL
• (load-file "src/foo/bar.clj")
• (use 'foo.bar)

In addition, (use 'foo.bar :reload-all) does not result in required effect, which is evaluating the modified bodies of functions and returning new values, instead of behaving as the source haven't changed at all.

Documentation:

• load-file
• use

Answer 1

Or (use 'your.namespace :reload)
