`joy create route` fails due to nil response from `route-string`

[Andrew Caird]

joy create route fails with the error:

error: bad slot #1, expected string|symbol|keyword|buffer, got nil
  in file/write
  in <anonymous> [/usr/local/Cellar/janet/1.8.1/lib/janet/joy/cli/routes.janet] on line 112, column 7
  in create [/usr/local/Cellar/janet/1.8.1/lib/janet/joy/cli/routes.janet] (tailcall) on line 111, column 5

because route-string is returning nil. Adding a few print statements to create:

    (print "Table Name: " table-name)
    (print "Route String: " route-textstring)

right after the let results in:

% joy create route account
Table Name: account
Route String: nil

I don't know Janet, but it looks like columns goes out of scope before the end of the function.

Anyhow, what am I missing?

You weren't missing anything, I was returning nil from the route-string function, woops!

If you pull latest by changing your project.janet to look like this:

(declare-project
  :name "<your project>"
  :description ""
  :dependencies ["https://github.com/joy-framework/joy"]
  :author ""
  :license ""
  :url ""
  :repo "")

Instead of using a git tag, and re-rerun jpm deps then it should work 👍
