Clojurians Log v2

getting a hard-to-parse error on shadow 2.12.5 when trying to compile an app with react-pdf@5.2.0 as a dependency:

any idea what I might be doing wrong?

@mss I'm guessing you are using project.clj or deps.edn to manage dependencies and don't have the proper shadow-cljs+cljs versions. 2.12.x requires cljs 1.10.844

was exactly the issue. really appreciate the help + all the work you’ve done on shadow – amazing piece of software
