Take a simple project file:
(defproject sample-clojure-cloudbees “1.0.0-SNAPSHOT”
:description “Sample clojure application – clojure 1.3 !”
:blah “hello”)
When I read (get project :blah) I get “hello” string returned – as expected.
If I replace “hello”
:blah (slurp “some file…”)
I get an error, Caused by: java.lang.ClassCastException: clojure.lang.PersistentList cannot be cast to java.lang.String
It seems to not be evaluating things how I expect, any ideas?
defproject is a macro it won’t evaluate (slurp…) unless you tell it to,
replacing,
with,
will give you the content of the file.
