I’m trying to migrate a project from pre clojure.spec.alpha to post-that, and I get this error:

nowhere in the project is clojure.spec.gen.alpha referenced directly

I’m on clojure 1.9-alpha17

any ideas?

hm, apparently I had a clojure version mismatch somewhere

its working now I think

Is it possible to remove all conforming on a spec so that it just returns identity (but still does the validation)?

With a conformer that calls unform? (yuk)

Sounds like the wrong solution to the pb. Maybe you need to decompose upstream spec(s) to build this kind of things

Yeah, I abandoned that approach. I'm trying to submit a patch for https://dev.clojure.org/jira/browse/CLJ-2199?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel

Came to what I think is a better solution.

@danielstockton clojure.spec.alpha/nonconforming

(defn ^:skip-wiki nonconforming
  "takes a spec and returns a spec that has the same properties except
  'conform' returns the original (not the conformed) value. Note, will specize regex ops."
  [spec]

@misha thanks!

TIL, regular-expression specs work like splicing, so nested reg-ex specs expect flat data structure

I read guide like 7 times already, and missed it complitely

tbh, it took me like flubbing this like 5 times before I really knew it

and I even wrote 2 implementations of it before the current one!

the spec is still alpha thing makes more sense now
