Is it intentional that the functions in clojure.spec.gen that alias functions in clojure.test.check.generators aren't considered generators?

Or am I doing something wrong?

(clojure.test.check.generators/generator? clojure.spec.gen.alpha/int) seems to be returning false

In my case, I'm trying to write a spec for an 5-10 character alphabetic string with a custom generator that uses clojure.spec.gen.alpha/char-alpha

Sampling is failing with an AssertionError with a message of Assert failed: First arg to vector must be a generator (generator? generator)

It works fine when I use clojure.test.check.generators/char-alpha - just seems counterintuitive that the aliased function doesn't work

the spec aliases are actually single argument functions that return generators

oh

that makes more sense

this is to support lazy loading of clojure.test.check

so i shouldn't be using them?

you can use them, you just have to be aware of that fact when mixing with plain test.check generators

and if I recall correctly, most places in clojure.spec where you can supply a custom generator, you supply a no arg function that returns a test.check generator

yup

i just put parens around it - (gen/vector gen/char-alpha 5 10) to (gen/vector (gen/char-alpha) 5 10) - and it worked

that's lisp for you

cool, thanks
