This is a guix question, or a guile question.

I am working on a package definition.  I run into this error from guile:
---begin---
The following derivation will be built:
   /gnu/store/mc4ssrfp1bsima42rylxmnj8h1vjrik9-opencv-3.4.14.drv
building /gnu/store/mc4ssrfp1bsima42rylxmnj8h1vjrik9-opencv-3.4.14.drv...
Backtrace:

In unknown file:
           0 (string-append "-DCMAKE_LIBRARY_PATH=" #f)

ERROR: In procedure string-append:
In procedure string-append: Wrong type (expecting string): #f
---end---

Since I just worked on the scheme code, I know where the error came
from.   But no where is the error message pointing to the actual line
number and the scheme file name of the error.   This can be confusing
if I don't just remember the context, which is in a scheme file in
gnu/packages

(Sorry I am new to scheme).    Is there better way to help to identify
the error location in this scenario?

Thanks for info on this.
