synopsis: Coercion errors include the failing value
issues: #561
prs: #9553
description: {
The `error: cannot coerce a <TYPE> to a string` message now includes the value which caused the error.
Previously, a failed string coercion produced a confusing error message if the trace didn't show where the offending value was defined:
```bash
$ nix-instantiate --eval --expr '
let x = { a = 1; }; in
"${x}"
'
error:
… while evaluating a path segment
at «string»:4:2:
3|
4| "${x}"
| ^
5|
error: cannot coerce a set to a string
```
Now, the error message includes the value itself:
```bash
$ nix-instantiate --eval --expr '
let x = { a = 1; }; in
"${x}"
'
error:
… while evaluating a path segment
at «string»:4:2:
3|
4| "${x}"
| ^
5|
error: cannot coerce a set to a string: { a = 1; }
```
}
