This could really be helpful for some fixtures during unit testing. One minor change that I personally would make is using when vs. if in delete-file-recursively. Perhaps also renaming the parameters of the functions to file, although this may conflict with the function file that you are using. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
