I cannot get google.string.htmlEscape to work - I get compilation errors 🧵
✅ 1
I have something like
(:require
[goog.string :as gstring]
[goog.string.format]
#_[goog.string.htmlEscape])gstring/format works, but commenting in [goog.string.htmlEscape] gives me
Compilation failed!
The required namespace "goog.string.htmlEscape" is not available, it was required by "myns/core.cljc".Why is htmlEscape behaving differently than format?
Oh ... just using gstring/htmlEscape without the additional require works ...
Well, thanks for rubber-ducking 😄
Leaving this for reference; apparently sometimes the additonal require is mandatory, sometimes, it needs to be avoided.

Yes, that warning on the linked page is very pertinent: > Sometimes symbols are not auto-included when requiring their parent namespace. This happens when those symbols are in their own file and require specific inclusion
