Broken for Clojure 1.3.0 projects

[bostonaholic]

This is due to Clojure 1.3.0 Release Feature 1.1: Earmuffed Vars Are No Longer Automatically Considered Dynamic.

https://github.com/clojure/clojure/blob/master/changes.md

I get the following stacktrace when running lein spec for Clojure 1.3.0:

Matthew,

Thanks for the report. Indeed these vars need the :dynamic entry in their metadata for 1.3. However, I'm having a problem getting every thing working on 1.3. I'm led to believe that there may be a bug in the new Clojure implementation. Investigation is underway. Assuming we can get everything working, I'll push a new release of Speclj that's compatible with 1.3.

Thank you, Micah. I'm taking a look at it as well. Hopefully we can find a solution.

Has there been any update on this? Anything I can do to help?

I was considering switching a few of my projects to speclj and 1.3 compatibility is a prerequisite now that it's been released.

Lee,

There was a thread on this topic on IRC, then it went on the email list, and finally I presonally reached out to Rich among other people. In the end, Rich added a 2 line fix to Clojure 1.4, and magically Speclj works.

1.4 will be released at ClojureConj in a couple weeks as I understand. I could be wrong but It seem like 1.3 will not see another release… so Speclj will likely never work on 1.3.

That's too bad, well I'll look forward to one that works with clojure 1.4 here in a fews weeks, thanks for the quick reply :)

[slagyr]

Will be fixed with the release of Clojure 1.4

[octopusgrabbus]

Thanks for this thread, because it answered a question I had after putting in the dynamic meta data. I'll stay on 1.2 until 1.4.

[slagyr]

Sure thing. Hopefully 1.4 comes out soon. tap tap tap

[gf3]

Hmm, I tried it on the latest alpha (1.4.0-alpha3) and I seem to be getting the same errors as 1.3.0, re: earmuffs.

[bostonaholic]

@gf3 did you build speclj with clojure 1.4.x as a dependency?

[slagyr]

I was waiting for Clojure 1.4 to come out of beta before releasing the fix, but actually there's not need to wait since the changes are backwards compatible. Speclj 2.0.0 has just been released. It works with Clojure 1.4.0-alpha3, but it won't work with Clojure 1.3.

Amazing, thank-you @slagyr!

[bostonaholic]

@slagyr could you upload 2.0.0 to clojars? Thanks!

[slagyr]

Doh! Done.
