Error: byte-code: Recursive load

[hitswint]

When i load the yasnippet, emacs warns "byte-code: Recursive load". After some investigation, it seems to fix the problem by removing

(require 'yasnippet-snippets)

from "yasnippet-snippets/snippets/bibtex-mode/.yas-setup.el".

Just stumbled upon the same issue!

Mm odd I can't see the same issue, how are you loading yasnippet?

[AndreaCrotti]

Could it be possibly related to moving from one version to Emacs to another maybe?

@hitswint @sebhahn, would you please provide the information AndreaCrotti requested as well as the steps to reproduce this warning? If this issue affects the Debian package then I'd like to fix it asap.

Thanks in advance!

Nothing special.

(use-package yasnippet-snippets
  :after yasnippet)

I have removed (require 'yasnippet-snippets) from snippets/bibtex-mode/.yas-setup.el to fix this. Then a few days later i realized that i upgraded the package, so all changes have gone. However there are not any issues anymore. So i cannot reproduced it now.

Same issue, running Emacs v. 28.2 on Ubuntu, trying to get yasnippet up and running on a new machine. I'm not sure if this is useful or relevant to anyone, but I thought I might as well write up what I've learnt just in case it's helpful.

I installed both yasnippet and yasnippet-snippets via melpa. The relevant section of my init.el reads:

(require 'yasnippet)
(setq yas-snippet-dirs
      '("~/.emacs.d/snippets"                 
    "~/.emacs.d/elpa/yasnippet-snippets-20230314.2056/snippets/"
      ))

and concludes with either

(yas-global-mode 1)

or

(yas-reload-all)
(add-hook 'python-mode-hook
          (lambda ()
        (yas-minor-mode 1)
           ))

I have tried with both python-mode-hook and LaTeX-mode-hook.

Upon editing the code and evaluating the relevant lines and/or the whole buffer, I get the following error message:

helm-M-x-execute-command: Recursive load: "/home/[name]/.emacs.d/elpa/yasnippet-snippets-20230314.2056/snippets/bibtex-mode/.yas-setup.elc", "/home/[name]/.emacs.d/elpa/yasnippet-snippets-20230314.2056/yasnippet-snippets.elc",

with the two listed files repeating several times over.

Following @hitswint's suggestion, I removed (require 'yasnippet-snippets) from "bibtex-mode/yas-setup.elc". Re-evaluating the code without closing emacs does not fix the issue, but closing emacs and re-starting does appear to fix the issue, so there's clearly some internal variable being reset here that I'm missing.

For what it's worth, I took a peek in some of the other mode "yas-setup.elc" files, and none of the ones I checked had (require 'yasnippet-snippets) present.
