Ah ... I think I've seen this before. Is it a common convention to create a directory in the same location as the main source file with the same name as that source file and place the additional source files inside it? For example, you have src/echo/test.clj. Would you create the directory src/echo/test and put additional source files that have the same namespace in that directory? > Then, just sending (compile 'echo.test) will compile everything. > > It's now that things get a little bit much complicated.
