Not-found is not the same is not-nil. Is it possible that
this-users-converstation *does* have an :incoming-message key with a nil
value?
See the difference between these two cases:
(get {} :a :not-found)
=> :not-found
(get {:a nil} :a :not-found)
=> nil
Notice also that records always "have" keys that are defined on them even
if they are not set:
(defrecord Rec [a])=> user.Rec
(get (map->Rec {}) :a :not-found)
=> nil
Perhaps you want to use or instead?
(or (get this-users-conversation :incoming-message) "")
Or figure out why nil is written and prevent it?
