Printing out unbalanced parens causes NullPointerException #19
Description
Activity
I should be able to run a debug build of lein-cljsbuild this weekend to capture the exact stack trace that the ClojureScript compiler is throwing in the above instance. It seems that something in the trace is giving clj-stacktrace some trouble.
I was wondering if there's any progress/workaround for this issue. This essentially makes lein-cljsbuild unusable for me in auto mode, as it crashes every time there's a compile error.
Though I get the impression that not everyone sees this exception.
I found a workaround by cloning clj-stacktrace as a checkout dependency under my project. (ie. clone into /checkouts/ )
Looking at the dependencies, cljsbuild 0.3.0 depends on clj-stacktrace 0.2.5, which is what shows in HEAD. Perhaps there are commits that haven't been published?
Weird, from what I can tell, 0.2.5 contains the latest commits (in fact, changing the version number to 0.2.5 was itself the most recent commit).
Regarding why more people are not complaining about this: I think a lot of people use Paredit or something equivalent, so it's rather difficult to ever save a ClojureScript file with unbalanced parenthesis.
I use Paredit myself. In the relatively rare case when I save an unbalanced file, this bug is somewhat annoying, especially if I don't notice that cljs-build has crashed.

Something like this
would trigger it.
