error on fetcher example

[ghost]

Running this code in the REPL,

(def fetcher (build-url-fetcher :disk "/tmp/cache"))

(def fetched
      (with-fetcher fetcher
        (retrieve-feed "http://planet-muddev.disinterest.org/rss20.xml")))

results in the error,

<ClassCastException java.lang.ClassCastException: clojure.lang.Var$Unbound cannot be cast to clojure.lang.Symbol>

ClassCastException clojure.lang.Var$Unbound cannot be cast to clojure.lang.Symbol clojure.core/find-ns (core.clj:3659)

The reader example works as expected.

Do I need to somehow register converters in fetcher?

[ghost]

After some experimentation I got the fetcher example working by:

• copying the reader.clj register-converters to fetcher.clj
• changing the fetcher.clj ns macro to (require ... :as) rather than (use ... :as) (not sure if that was a problem?)
• changing the retrieve-feed fn so that gav/translate takes a :nspace like it does in reader.clj

However I'm not sure if this is really the solution, though I'd be happy to make a pull request if this looks right to you.

yes, sorry about this, the gavagai API has been somewhat in flux lately as it is nearing it's first stable release and I have failed to keep the rome fetcher in sync. The commit 5c4ebfb should fix this. Actually, only your third modification was really necessary, it fits the new gavagai API where translation are namespace local. I have pushed a new snapshot to Clojars and I hope to get a stable 0.3 soon (as soon as I have a stable gavagai release really). Tell me if this fixes it for you!

Thanks for the prompt fix, pulled down the new snapshot and it works great. Also I like what you've done with clj-rome + gavagai, nice work.
