How do I remove a function from the lein repl?

Question

During a lein REPL session, I may define a number of functions. However, sometimes I would want the session to 'forget' them - for example when I execute (run-all-tests), this highlights failures from tests that I no longer need. Is there a way to remove functions from the session, or to clean it, without restarting?

note: I am connecting to the lein repl through the vim-fireplace plugin, and running tests with the 'cpR' command. — Rich Ashworth, Mar 25 '13 at 23:33

use ns-unmap as described on the Clojure namespaces page http://clojure.org/namespacesuser>

(defn foo [x] (inc x))                    
#'user/foo     
user> (foo 3)       
4                                                                                
user> (ns-unmap *ns* 'foo)     
nil
user> (foo 3)
CompilerException java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to resolve symbol: foo in this context, compiling:(NO_SOURCE_PATH:1:1)

That seems to do the trick. Is there a similar function to 'unmap' all functions? – Rich Ashworth Mar 26 '13 at 16:44

you can get a list of all the function with ns-map. then unmap them. – Arthur Ulfeldt Mar 26 '13 at 18:09
