Building Uberjar is crashing

[Jmaasy]

When following the readme I ran the lein ring uberjar command which gave me the following error:

clojure.lang.Compiler$CompilerException: Syntax error macroexpanding clojure.core/fn at (clojure/core/unify.clj:83:18). #:clojure.error{:phase :macro-syntax-check, :line 83, :column 18, :source "clojure/core/unify.clj", :symbol clojure.core/fn} at clojure.lang.Compiler.checkSpecs (Compiler.java:6971)

looks like the new lein (2.9.0+) breaks compatibility. here is another similar issue.

what you can do meantime rather than chasing all the mad dependencies:

$ lein downgrade 2.8.3
$ lein do clean, ring uberjar

which will work, and then:

$ lein upgrade

to bring you back to the latest lein version.

let me know if it works for you

[tolitius]

you can also run it from a (prebuilt) release as per: https://github.com/tolitius/hface/blob/master/README.md#from-releases

Thanks for the quick reply! This fixed it.
