<davidl>Im getting formatting issues constantly for parts of guile-code that previously worked fine. Is there a trick to this? Using a special editor or something? <ijp>you'll need to give more context <davidl>ijp: I have my config.scm for GuixSD where I added some parts, then all of a sudden when I run reconfigure it says "invalid field specifier" for the (file-systems line. <davidl>it just seems like unrelated issues pop up. <ijp>I can't say anything about guix or guix-sd <davidl>ijp: do u know if there's something like shellcheck for guile? <ijp>I think there is a linter in guild, but I've never used it <ijp>doesn't seem very featureful <daviid>OT: what would be the american english expression 'travailler main dans la main', which I can poorly trnslate to 'working hand to hand'? <spk121>daviid: I think "work hand-in-hand" is alright, if slightly old fashioned. <rekado>davidl: a syntax checker probably wouldn’t help you here. “invalid field specifier” means that you have a record (e.g. operating-system) and you try to initialise a field that doesn’t exist. <rekado>davidl: this can mean that you close an expression too early, which makes it seem that its contents are fields for the parent expression. <rekado>davidl: but without more context it’s hard to say what’s wrong in your case. <davidl>rekado: re: "..which makes it seem that its contents are fields for the parent expression." I think that was it thanks. I tried to add a dvd-drive and probably made some mistake there which got caught "further up". <happy_gnu>what is the right way to load this file in guile so it recognizes it?
