synopsis: Coercion errors include the failing value issues: #561 prs: #9553 description: { The `error: cannot coerce a 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; } ``` }
