Weird behavior on evaluations after execute op refresh

[afucher]

After execute the op refresh seems that not all places are getting the new code, leading to an unexpected result after evaluations.

I have two files foo.clj and baz.clj (branch in github)

;;foo.clj
(defn some-function []
  "-foo")
;;baz.clj
(defn baz []
  (clojure-sample.foo/some-function))

(baz)

(clojure-sample.foo/some-function)

If I change the some-function to return -foz , call the op refresh and try to eval the function baz it returns the old value (-foo) but calling directly the function returns the new value

(baz) ;;=> "-foo"

(clojure-sample.foo/some-function) ;;=> "-foz"

If I evaluate the definition of baz or evaluate some-function again or load foo.clj file, it works. The behavior just happens after using the refresh op.

Additional Info

Reproduced on clojure-repl-intellj (plugin for IntelliJ) and Emacs

I managed to reproduce this with both tools.namespace and clj-reload until I noticed that clojure-sample.baz does not require clojure-sample.foo. This is considered incorrect for these tools and leads to this and also other problems. After requiring clojure-sample.foo, everything started working correctly.

Thanks @alexander-yakushev for catching this, makes sense. I made some tests locally, and seems to be working fine with the require.
