EDN coercion is broken

Would this explain the following failing ?

(ns app.env
  (:require [wrench.core :as cfg]
            [clojure.spec.alpha :as s]))

(s/def ::env #{"DEV" "PROD"})

(cfg/def ENV {:name "MYAPP_ENV"
              :default "PROD"
              :spec ::env})

dev-config.edn:

{"MYAPP_ENV" "DEV"}

From a repl

> (cfg/reset! :env (cfg/from-file "dev-config.edn"))
> (cfg/validate-and-print)
Failed to load config:
- configuration #'app.env/ENV present, but does not conform spec: nil

@jwdevantier hallo! sorry for the late reply.

The issue you are facing is related to the fact that when Clojure reads EDN from a sting, it would interpret single string as a symbol. So if you change your spec to this

(s/def ::env #{'DEV 'PROD})

Then the validation would pass. I understand that it is not intuitive at all :) and it would be nice to have a way of limiting the value with a spec while still having them as strings. And it also does not print the actual spec.

Let me check what could be done about it and get back
