Error: "No such namespace: mc" (monger, monger.collection)

[2FO]

I’m running into a namespace error. When I attempt to query a collection from the cljblog.db namespace.

cljblog/db.clj:

(ns cljblog.db
  (:require [monger.core :as mg]
            [monger.collection :as mc]))

(def db (-> "mongodb://127.0.0.1/cljblog-test"
            mg/connect-via-uri
            :db))

Steps taken:

1. start repl
   lein repl

2. switch namespace

(in-ns 'cljblog.db)

3. Query the collection

(mc/find-maps db "articles")

Full error message:

 Syntax error compiling at (form-init17588852473615642213.clj:1:1).

My project.clj

(defproject cljblog "0.1.0-SNAPSHOT"

The repl was restarted after the addition of each dependency.
I get the same error with the latest monger version (3.5.0)

mongodb is installed and running on the system.

in-ns doesn’t load the namespace, it just changes the current namespace. So that ns form with all its contents, along with all the defs and whatnot in that namespace - it’s all ignored.

One way to fix it would be to add (require 'cljblog.db) before that call to in-ns. The other way would be to figure out how to properly load files in Lein REPL. I don’t use Lein myself so I don’t know.
