Will you please send me the example (with ancillary files), so that I
can see exactly what's going wrong?
Most of my actual systems reverted to using
```
(asdf:load-system "fiveam-asdf")
```
in the `.asd` file, because I didn't know about the keyword trick, so I
haven't tested it extensively.
Also, I tend *not* to use the `ASDF/USER` package, but instead be old
school and make a package for each `.asd` file.
Best,

If you get a chance, can you eyeball [my example code to try to use

Various versions of ASDF-3.1.x (SBCL, CCL, ABCL) are failing with
problems about symbols:
Error while trying to load definition for system
fiveam-asdf-example from pathname
/Users/evenson/work/asdf-test-harness/eg/fiveam-asdf-example.asd:
EXPORT ASDF/INTERFACE::FIVEAM-TESTER-SYSTEM causes
name-conflicts in #<PACKAGE "ASDF/USER"> between the
following symbols:
ASDF/INTERFACE::FIVEAM-TESTER-SYSTEM,
ASDF/USER::FIVEAM-TESTER-SYSTEM
[Condition of type ASDF/FIND-SYSTEM:LOAD-SYSTEM-DEFINITION-ERROR]
I had problems like this, too -- it's because of the fact that when
the defsystem form is first read, before the :defsystem-depends-on is
loaded, the symbol named "FIVEAM-TESTER-SYSTEM" gets interned in
ASDF/USER and then when it's later exported from ASDF/INTERFACE (used
by ASDF/USER) it collides with the earlier-read symbol.
I believe that the correct fix for this is to use any new symbols
(like fiveam-tester-system) in the keyword package, so
:class :fiveam-tester-system
and then when the defsystem form is processed after the defsystem
dependencies (in this case, fiveam-asdf), ASDF will look for keyword
symbols in the current package.
Give that a try and see if it fixes your problem.
Unfortunately, it doesn’t help to specify a keyword, but one gets a
new error:
Error while trying to load definition for system
asdf-test-harness-example from pathname
/Users/evenson/work/asdf-test-harness/eg/asdf-test-harness-example.asd:
The following symbols need to be imported to #<Package
"ASDF/INTERFACE"> before they can be exported
from that package:
(:HARNESS-TEST):
I think with some futzing around with EVAL-WHEN around EXPORT
statements we can get this to work.
I’m coming to the end of my day with a Common Lisp Foundation board
meeting, so I will probably get back to this tomorrow.
best,
Mark
