Programming Clojure, Third Edition: Invalid token: ::music/id spec error (122)

Hi @alexmiller

I’ve been following along through PC 3rd, and hit a bump on page 122 - the ‘name’ format for the spec seems incorrect. I went back and it looked like adding a namespace might fix it, but that didn’t help either, I still get the ‘invalid token’ error.

Code:
(ns net.solarwinter
(:require [clojure.spec.alpha :as s]))

(s/def ::music/id uuid?)

Evaluating this produces:

  1. Unhandled clojure.lang.Compiler$CompilerException

  2. Caused by java.lang.RuntimeException
    Invalid token: ::music/id

I’m on Clojure 1.10.3 (java version “13.0.1” 2019-10-15, macOS Monterey, but I don’t think those should matter).

I think this is a bug in the book in that the music alias is not defined before it’s used as a qualifier. To do so, you either need to define a namespace music that is loadable or, more commonly alias music to some longer namespace (which is also loadable):

(create-ns 'domain.music)
(alias 'music 'domain.music)

In Clojure 1.11, the new :as-alias clause in require allows you to do this without loading any namespace:

(require '[music :as-alias music])
