Exception thrown when log arguments have same name, but different separators about timbre HOT 2 CLOSED

Interesting! Yeah, we're just avoiding the duplicate naming, and this is temporary code anyways until casing issues are resolved. I don't know why any sane person would use names like this. Thanks!

@mike706574 Hi Mike,

This is actually an issue with Clojure, not Timbre.
Your example can be reduced to the following:

(let [x- 1
      x_ 2]
  (fn [] [x- x_])) ; => Duplicate field name "x_" with signature "J" in class file

I'm only aware of this since there was, remarkably, another report of this recently - also against Timbre.

As I mentioned on that issue, it's not obvious to me whether this is an intended Clojure limitation or a bug. I'd guess the former, but this would need to be verified.

Your options seem to be:

1. Escalate (e.g. on the Clojure Google Group) to see if the behaviour is possibly unintentional and can be fixed upstream.
2. Avoid the duplicate naming.

Sorry I can't suggest anything else. Best of luck!
