New Custom Function is not deleted when namespace is deleted

test_ns = New Namespace("Test");

add custom functions({
 new custom function("Test", "test_function", 
  function({}, 
   print("hello world!!");
   Return(1);
  );
 );
});

test_ns << Delete Namespace();

custom_functions = get custom functions();
custom_functions = custom_functions[Loc(custom_functions << get namespace, "Test")];
custom_functions << get name;

Deleting a namespace will not delete it's associated custom functions as shown above.

The only way I have found to remove the custom function is to use the function "Remove Custom Functions."

 

Is there a way to delete a namespace and remove all of it's associated custom functions?

Re: New Custom Function is not deleted when namespace is deleted

I don't believe there is a builtin way to remove a namespace and all of its associated custom functions. However, you could use something like the following user-defined function:

Delete Namespace and Matching Custom Functions = Function({ns}, {i, mask, fs},
 fs = Get Custom Functions();
 mask = Loc(fs << Get Namespace, ns << Get Name);
 If(N Items(mask),
  fs = fs[mask];
  For(i = 1, i <= N Items(fs), i++,
   fs[i] = ((ns << Get Name) || ":" || (fs[i] << Get Name));
  );
  Remove Custom Functions(fs);
 );
 ns << Delete Namespace(Force(1));
); 

I'll look into better ways to manage this for future versions of JMP.
