Issue when compiling - clojure

Question

I keep getting the following error, its most likely something obvious but i'm rather new to this. Any help would be appreciated. I'm quite sure there error is in this section of the code.
(b/defcomponent client {:bounce/deps #{config/value}}
(log/info "Connecting to Discord")
(let [token (get-in config/value [:discord :token])
client (if token
(.. (ClientBuilder.)
(withToken token)
login)
(throw (Error. "Discord token not found, please set {:discord {:token \"...\"}} in `config/config.edn`.")))]
Had a look through where i believe the error is, cant seem to figure it out though.

Answer 1

From this bit:
> 19-05-25 19:05:47 localhost INFO [snowball.discord:150] - Connecting to Discord
> Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ClassCastException: class clojure.lang.Symbol cannot be cast to class java.lang.String
It looks like the expression (get-in config/value [:discord :token]) in line 152 is returning a symbol (a clojure.lang.Symbol) instead of a String, and that is causing a ClassCastException to be thrown when building the Client class.
I guess what's going on is that you are reading the configuration from an external file or some other source and your token is not properly quoted, so it's being resolved as a Symbol ("a variable name") instead of a String.
