I noticed that leiningen has a great unit test plugin - you just enter "lein test" :) . However, it's not clear how it "finds" the test files. Is there a specific folder I need to put them in? Or, if its just scanning namespaces (which is what it says in the lein docs), how do I know what namespace I need to use for leiningen to see my tests?
I was thinking about simply making one test file, called tests.clj. A sample template would really be nice.

At the top level make a test/ directory, and then create some file, say mytests.clj. Here's a sample (caveat: I didn't actually compile this, but simplified an existing test):
(ns mytests
(:use clojure.test))
(defn myfixture [block]
(do
(println "before test")
(block)
(println "after test")))
(use-fixtures :each myfixture)
(deftest mytest
(is (= 2 (+ 1 1))))

for lein version 2.7.1 : {this is from Linux Mint with Leiningen 2.7.1 on Java 1.8.0_121 Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM } I wanted to do more with testing and now have this new knowledge...
lein new <projname>
cd <projname>
tree -d
cat test/<projname>/core_test.clj
lein test
-> observe failing test template even on blank new project
then you could add: (print "start adding test"
)
and see your efforts ...
