Groovy Mode not available #3

Closed malakeel closed 9 years ago

malakeel commented 9 years ago

I am unable to install groovy mode through elpa (Not Found):

Saving file /home/mansour/.emacs.d/elpa/groovy-mode-readme.txt... Wrote /home/mansour/.emacs.d/elpa/groovy-mode-readme.txt Type C-x 1 to delete the help window. Install package `groovy-mode'? y Contacting host: stable.melpa.org:80 package-handle-response: Error during download request: Not Found user-error: Minibuffer window is not active

This is from my .emacs

(require 'package) ;; You might already have this line (add-to-list 'package-archives '("melpa" . "http://melpa.org/packages/") t) (add-to-list 'package-archives '("melpa-2" .

I think your melpa-2 entry is redundant as melpa.milkbox.net resolves to the same IP as melpa.org. I think the gnu entry is also redundant as it is automatically in place. Your issue has already been most useful to me as I still had the milkbox URL (and have now updated to the melpa one), and I hadn't realized they had separated stable out. I must investigate further :-)

As for your real problem: I do not use MELPA to get groovy-mode, I use the files directly from my Git repository so I am testing whatever I have rather than what is released. A consequence is that I will not notice any problems with groovy-mode on MELPA in the normal course of events. groovy-mode is listed for me in the packages list from MELPA and I just tried installing it and it appeared to work fine; I got version 20141024.951. So I think the issue is we do not have an installation of groovy-mode in MELPA Stable only in MELPA, which I will investigate. However you should have seen the list from MELPA including the one I successfully installed. I wonder if having MELPA Stable after MELPA changes the behaviour of package installation?

In fact removing all others and keeping this one, fixed the issue and was able to install it succefully:

(add-to-list 'package-archives '("melpa-2" . "http://melpa.milkbox.net/packages/") t)

Probably, like you said the duplicate URLS may have caused this.

I will close it. Please reopen if this occured again.

I am pleased things now work for you. I changed "http://melpa.milkbox.net/packages/" to "http://melpa.org/packages/" in my codes as it seems that this is the more future oriented URL.
