just tried to transact an entity with an string where a ref value should've been, was getting this cryptic error: :db.error/tempid-not-an-entity tempid used only as value in transaction as I understand it, Datomic was trying to interpret my string as a tempid for the ref attribute, and failed at that

it's not obvious to me how to improve the error message but it's totally unhelpful here 😂

(so basically, {:my-app/should-be-a-ref "a string"} = that error)

strings are valid temp ids

I know, I meant that it tried to take my string as a tempid and failed because I was not trying to use a tempid there

maybe the error could handle this case too, idk

I'm trying to start my local dev transactor but I get the error,

I'm using datomic-free-0.9.5561 ... maybe it's just a version mismatch?

Nevermind, just leapt to the latest pro version ^.^

Actually, I do have a question: how do I know the latest version still under perpetual license with my license-key?

in all likelihood... Release Date < License Expiry Date
