Cannot remove aux0 cluster

I'm trying to generate an SCAD file without the aux keys and the mounting plate, but deleting the aux0 sections from dmote/base.yaml make the compilation fail with ExceptionInfo Configuration lacks key clojure.core/ex-info (core.clj:4739)

That happens because several other parts of dmote/base.yaml refer to the aux0 cluster or its keys, a0 and a1. In the following, I assume you’re using the current development snapshot, not a release version.

  • main-body -> bottom-plate anchors a fastener to a1.
  • by-key has settings for the aux0 cluster.
  • tweaks refers to a0 and a1 in several places, integrating these keys with the rest of the keyboard case.

If you look at the details of the exception message, you can see what reference has been broken. If you remove them all, you get SCAD with a gap where the cluster used to be. Nothing about this process is peculiar to aux0.

Ah, that's good to know! Also I didn't realize that it was an exception and that I could print the stack trace of that exception in the REPL, I assumed that it was just a println. Thanks!
