Accidentally had the symbol "true" inside a boot comp task. Took me 2 hours to find it, because this is the error I got:

Because I'm using system.repl and component, was really hard to diagnose 😕 Hoping spec can help here

did “line: 265” point to the line of the error? would be curious if the non-prettified version of this is actually a better locator

braai engineer08:01:45

thx but no, line: 265 is not from my build.boot file

Alex Miller (Clojure team)14:01:11

I would expect that to refer to a line of code but I’m not sure in what file

Alex Miller (Clojure team)17:01:57

a spec for comp would detect this. you can try it yourself!

martinklepsch17:01:27

@petrus for the non-prettified version use boot -vv

spec is awesome. Is there work happening to spec out all the core fn's like this?
