bug#67785: Unhelpful error message when a mandatory & innate field is mi


From: Skyler Ferris
Subject: bug#67785: Unhelpful error message when a mandatory & innate field is missing after inheritance
Date: Mon, 11 Dec 2023 19:48:31 +0000

Normally, when a field is missing Guix provides a helpful error message 
explaining the precise problem:

(define-record-type <t> t make-t t? this-t

   (mandatory-field t-mandatory-field))

(t) => t: missing field initializers (mandatory-field) in form (t)

However, if the field is innate, a value is inherited, and the mandatory 
field is missing, the error message is not helpful:

(define-record-type <t> t make-t t? this-t

   (mandatory-field t-mandatory-field)

   (innate-mandatory-field t-innate-mandatory-field (innate))

(define base (t (mandatory-field #t) (innate-mandatory-field #t)))

(t (inherit base)) =>
