For what you're trying to do, :externs is not the solution. Ultimately, all you need to do is make sure that both src-cljs/live and src-cljs/test are on the classpath at compile time. The easiest way to do this would be to put both builds into the same project:
:builds {:live {:source-path "src-cljs/live" :compiler {...}} :test {:source-path "src-cljs/test" :compiler {...}}} When :builds contains multiple entries, they are all added to the classpath, and thus helper.webTemplateTest will be able to load helper.webTemplate. :externs is used for a totally different purpose (JavaScript interop). If you want to learn more about that, I recommend reading this: http://lukevanderhart.com/2011/09/30/using-javascript-and-clojurescript.html . -Evan On Thursday, October 25, 2012 1:25:17 PM UTC-7, Sean S wrote: > > Can't seem to get the extern functionality to work, or I'm using it wrong. > Basically I have two files: One live and one test.
