solved: PEBKAC
I wanted to build a etst case where I verify that an insert statement parameter vector is correctly populated as the data has few different formats internally (historical baggage, need to support both). Now, I'm using next-jdbc and PostgreSQL. One column is an enum value which are nicely covered with next-jdbc's https://github.com/seancorfield/next-jdbc/blob/develop/doc/tips-and-tricks.md#working-with-enumerated-types.
Now, with a simple (is (= "enum-value-one" value)) I get the following test error (of course)
; expected:
"enum-value-one"
; actual:
#function [clojure.lang.AFunction/1]as-other?
(This could be a #C03S1KBA2 question also)The metadata is
#:next.jdbc.prepare{set-parameter
#function[next.jdbc.types/as-other/fn--32211]}I tried couple of ways to "call" that fn to no avail
The actual value is created as follows to the insert vector
(defn- kw-to-enum
"PostgreSQL enum compatible data format"
[kw]
(-> kw
(name)
(as-other)))picard-facepalm
Oh my days.
(value)
I need either to go home or get more coffee. Oh well..

I'll apologize for that: I really like the idiom of value-or-thunk and probably overuse it 🙂
No worries, this was a great journey into next-jdbc source code and function metadata 😂
sometimes the answes is just too close
