rcmerci Clojure Parenthesis Repair (how to fix unbalanced brackets/parens)
Use clj-paren-repair to fix unbalanced brackets in Clojure files using parmezan:
# Show help info
clj-paren-repair -h
# Fix file in place (default)
clj-paren-repair src/myapp/core.clj
This is useful for recovering files with bracket errors.
When to Use
Run this tool when you encounter unbalanced delimiters (parentheses, brackets, braces) in Clojure, ClojureScript, or EDN files.
IMPORTANT: Do NOT try to manually repair parenthesis errors. If you encounter a file with unbalanced parentheses or delimiters, run clj-paren-repair on that file instead of attempting to fix the delimiters yourself.
If the Tool Fails
If clj-paren-repair doesn't fix the problem, report to the user that they need to fix the delimiter error manually. Do not continue attempting repairs.
