print-method now dispatches on type, rather than class as it did before. There is no default implementation for print-method, so if you put something as :type that has no implementation of print- method, weird things will happen. The fix is to provide a default implementation for print-method. Try executing this: (defmethod print-method :default [o w] (print-method "failed" w)) before printing your object, and it should print "failed" without any exception. There should be a default in clojure.core, but I am not sure what it should best be. Should it print the object stripped of its metadata? Or a string indicating the problem? Or should it throw an exception? Konrad. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
