I’ve been suffering from this for a while, and had to just workaround by using println in dev for a while … although, seeing your post inspired me to re-investigate the issue again in my environment, because when I first started the project it was working. I messed around with a lot of different require combinations …
I was finally able to get cast/dev to actually work again in my local environment, once I removed my require call for datomic.dev-local, something in requiring that was interfering with my cast logging. After discovering that, I was able to still require datomic.dev-local so long as BOTH the cast init call AND a single/first call to cast/dev was made before requiring dev-local.
Do you think this is the same thing affecting you as well?? Either way, sounds like dev-local OR datomic.ion.cast might have some kind of bug that doesn’t allow them to play well … (unless I’m doing something wrong)
