Return value from `(doall ...)` causes `getReturnValue` to throw #142

Open lgessler opened 2 years ago

lgessler commented 2 years ago

version: 0.4.3

platform: JVM 14

problem: Subcommands which return a LazySeq seem to crash because the LazySeq is treated as a deferred value by getReturnValue, and P/waitForDeferredValue attempts to deref the LazySeq, causing the crash.

clojure.lang.LazySeq cannot be cast to java.util.concurrent.Future ...

repro:

See these two files--note that in the former I am returning an :ok to work around this issue. If you remove the :ok from ingest-conllu-files and then make the call to ingest-conllu-files the last form inside ingest, the issue is triggered as the subcommand will then return the result of (doall (pmap ...))

expected behavior:

It seems like getReturnValue should never throw, so this is an unexpected behavior to me. The final form of my code ended up not needing this to work correctly anyway, since I finish the subcommand with some print statements, but I thought I'd mention this regardless.
