I observed this too and became sceptical why spec doesn't go further down the path and apparently stops at ::binding-form. I could isolate the problem a bit by changing the spec of ::arg-list and temporarily removing the :varargs branch.
(s/def ::arg-list (s/and vector? (s/cat :args (s/* ::binding-form) ;; :varargs (s/? (s/cat :amp #{'&} :form ::binding-form)) ))) This leads to a much better message: (s/explain (:args (s/get-spec 'clojure.core/defn)) '[foo [{:or {a/b 42}}]]) In: [1 0] val: {:or #:a{b 42}} fails spec: :clojure.core.specs/local-name at: [:bs :arity-1 :args :args :sym] predicate: simple-symbol? In: [1 0 0] val: ([:or #:a{b 42}]) fails spec: :clojure.core.specs/seq-binding-form at: [:bs :arity-1 :args :args :seq] predicate: (cat :elems (* :clojure.core.specs/binding-form) :rest (? (cat :amp #{(quote &)} :form :clojure.core.specs/binding-form)) :as (? (cat :as #{:as} :sym :clojure.core.specs/local-name))), Extra input In: [1 0 :or a/b 0] val: a/b fails spec: :clojure.core.specs/or at: [:bs :arity-1 :args :args :map :or 0] predicate: simple-symbol? In: [1 0] val: {:or #:a{b 42}} fails spec: :clojure.core.specs/arg-list at: [:bs :arity-n :bodies :args] predicate: vector? The third one is the desired one and very precise - it seems to be usually the one with the largest :in path. The length of the :in path seems a good sorting criterium for reporting. However I was not able to track the issue further down. I also wasn't able to reproduce a more minimal case of this problem. It seems like a bug in how spec parses and must have something to do with s/cat and the :varargs branch. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
