Questions about using error-kit

[Thomas Hicks]

I'm trying to learn something about error-kit and encountering some unexpected responses, as follows:

Clojure 1.3.0
user=> (use 'clojure.contrib.error-kit)
Warning: *handler-stack* not declared dynamic and thus is not dynamically rebindable, but its name suggests otherwise. Please either indicate ^:dynamic *handler-stack* or change the name.
Warning: *continues* not declared dynamic and thus is not dynamically rebindable, but its name suggests otherwise. Please either indicate ^:dynamic *continues* or change the name.
nil
user=> (def tm (throw-msg java.lang.IllegalArgumentException))
#'user/tm
user=> (tm "hi")
IllegalArgumentException   sun.reflect.NativeConstructorAccessorImpl.newInstance0 (NativeConstructorAccessorImpl.java:-2)

First, note the dynamic variable warnings upon use...(might this possibly indicate an out-of-date version of error-kit (I'm using using clojure-contrib.jar from 1.2.0)?).

I'm just starting with error-kit but I would have expected that the last call (involving a previous throw-msg function) would have returned something like this:

-> java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: hi

and would not have included the additional junk from 'sun.reflect.NativeConstructor....'. Is this some OSX Java bug or does this also happen on other JDKs?
Any help or suggestions appreciated.

As far as I know contrib is deprecated[1].

Perhaps others can shed more light on your problem.

Contrib has been separated into separate libs since 1.3

http://dev.clojure.org/display/design/Where+Did+Clojure.Contrib+Go

Suggests to use slingshot.

The are 1.3 compliant monolithic contrib versions out there but it's better to move to
the new implementations.

Thanks Luc and Mayank. I will chuck the monolithic contrib lib and check out Slingshot as an error-kit replacement.
