No completion for unsourced namespace

[abo-abo]

I have a buffer with contents:

#_(ns test)
(Double/)

With point behind /, I get proper completion. Note that nothing has been sourced yet.

But if I uncomment the first form, I get Namespace not found error when I try to complete.
After sourcing, the problem disappears.

It's a bit of a nuisance, since at the point when I need completion,
the code isn't in the valid state. And I'm currently just editing
within org-babel source blocks, so I need to drop out of source block etc.

Yep: in general, completion doesn't work well if the namespace isn't defined yet. I don't know if there's a practical strategy for dealing with this.

I kind of solved it with this hook:

(add-hook 'clojure-mode-hook (lambda ()
                               (when (member 'cider-mode minor-mode-list)
                                 (cider-eval-ns-form))))

I don’t know if there are any bad side effects yet.
