Clojurians Log v2

compile implicit loads what is compiled, so I would start by not calling require first

Thanks! It gives the same error w/o that. I did require to demonstrate that the ns is accessible

the error is likely because you don't have the output directory for the compiled classfiles to go to set

Are you trying this manually because compile-clj is throwing an exception when you try to use tools.build? (trying to figure out how this relates to tools.build)

I am trying manually b/c my build call seems to get stuck and I want to find out if something weird happens when it is compiling

Probably some top-level def form that is trying to do something?

I mean, when you require the the namespace, why is it logging stuff?

Yes, that put me off to but it is fine, obviously some def-time setup. it works now - I guess I was just too impatient and the process took too long 😅 (by it I mean the T:build invocation)

Thank you both very much!
