Subject: 31.0.50; edebug-no-match: Invalid read syntax: "Failed matching"
Date: Wed, 05 Mar 2025 09:45:02 +0100 (CET)

Hello, I tested this in emacs -Q, using master build as of March 4
(yesterday).

The issue is also present in Emacs 30.1 (Debian package)

Steps:
1. git clone -b bug-1 https://github.com/meedstrom/el-job
2. emacs -Q el-job/
3. Load el-job-child.el
4. Load el-job.el
5. Go to the definition of el-job-launch
6. M-x edebug-defun

I get this result:

edebug-no-match: Invalid read syntax: "Failed matching", ("cl-defun"
[&name symbolp] cl-lambda-list cl-declarations-or-string [&optional
("interactive" interactive)] def-body)

Unfortunately I do not know what I did -- it was a long time since I
last edebugged this defun.

The defun succeeds when you eval it normally.

PS: I finished my FSF paperwork!  
So I'm not averse to getting pointers.
Although edebug.el seems it'll take me a while to dig into.

Despite the error message - could it be that there is a problem with
your edebug spec of `el-job--with'?  The call of this macro seems to be
the location where instrumenting fails.

Oh you are correct, removing the spec did it.  

You can close as notabug. Thank you.

Good - thanks for the quick reply.  So I'm closing this report.
