How To Invoke GetCurrentDirectory Method in Clojure CLR?

Question

I am just trying out Clojure CLR a bit and I am stumped about how to make what seems as if it should be a pretty simple call work.

Version is Clojure 1.10.0-master-SNAPSHOT

In the REPL I do this:

(import 'System.IO.FileSystem)
(FileSystem/Directory/GetCurrentDirectory)

I get the following response:

Syntax error (InvalidOperationException) compiling at (REPL:1:2).
Unable to find static field: GetCurrentDirectory in

Everything I can find about "Unable to find static field:" would seem to indicate that I've got the assembly name wrong but that doesn't seem to be it.

I also tried this:

(. FileSystem/Directory GetCurrentDirectory)

and I get

Syntax error (InvalidOperationException) compiling at (REPL:1:2).
Unable to find static field: Directory in System.IO.FileSystem

Also tried this:

(FileSystem/Directory/GetCurrentDirectory [])

And I get this error:

Syntax error (InvalidOperationException) compiling at (REPL:1:2).
Unable to find static field: GetCurrentDirectory in

Can someone please tell me what it is that I've gotten wrong here?

Under Core 3.1 and Net 5.0, System.IO.FileSystem does not contain GetCurrenDirectory or Directory. (You can check this quickly by evaling ((map #(.Name %) (concat (.GetMethods System.IO.FileSystem) (.GetProperties System.IO.FileSystem)) to see what's available.)

There is a System.IO.Directory class with a GetCurrentDirectory method. Try

(System.IO.Directory/GetCurrentDirectory)

or if you prefer to import the class

(import 'System.IO.Directory)
(Directory/GetCurrentDirectory)
