Symbol’s value as variable is void: org-brain-poly-hostmode when ein:jupyter-server-start

[hwiorn]

ein uses poly-mode. But if org-brain is enabled, ein can't run server or notebook because of Symbol’s value as variable is void: org-brain-poly-hostmode

Is there some workaround?

I've not met any Symbol’s value as variable is void: org-brain-poly-hostmode issue before when I use org-brain only.

[hwiorn]

@Kungsgeten Current polymode implementation of org-brain doesn't be executed on both Emacs 28.2 and Emacs 30.x with nativecomp.

I found a workaround. org-brain needs to be changed with-eval-after-load blocks for helm, ivy and polymode like this.

(with-eval-after-load 'polymode ;; instead of "polymode"

After changes, org-brain-polymode works without any conflicts with ein and org-brain itself. I think using with-eval-after-load itself in a package doesn't be a recommended way, though. This issue seems to be related to #350, #352.

[hwiorn]

@Kungsgeten Sorry. I noticed #385 doesn't fix this issue. My test was wrong.

I found out the root cause of Symbol’s value as variable is void: org-brain-poly-hostmode error is related with bytecompile and with-eval-after-load clause. That's why the fix of #352 needs doing without bytecompile.

Check this link: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2018-03/msg00559.html

In #386, I removed with-eval-after-load and splitted org-brain.el into three parts: ivy, helm and polymode. So user can use that packages according to their needs in their init.el.

  (use-package org-brain :ensure t   
    :init
    (setq org-brain-path "directory/path/where-i-want-org-brain")
    ;; For Evil users
    (with-eval-after-load 'evil
      (evil-set-initial-state 'org-brain-visualize-mode 'emacs))
    :config  
    (bind-key "C-c b" 'org-brain-prefix-map org-mode-map)
    ;; ... omitted ...
    )

  ;; This call `polymode` inside the package. so it doesn't need
  ;; to call `(use-package polymode)` explicitly.
  ;; If you want to load `polymode` explicitly, you can add
  ;; `:after polymode` inside the below clause and `(use-package polymode)`.
  (use-package org-brain-polymode
    :straight nil
    :hook (org-brain-visualize-mode . org-brain-polymode))

  ;; If there is no helm, below code doesn't be evaluated.
  (use-package org-brain-helm
    :straight nil
    :after helm)

  ;; If there is no ivy, below code doesn't be evaluated.
  (use-package org-brain-ivy
    :straight nil
    :after ivy)

is this issue expected to be resolved? i am running into it and tried all shades of fixes i found in the issues here. various combinations of this:

(use-package polymode :defer t)

(use-package org-brain
  :ensure t
  :init
  (setq org-brain-path "~/valence/courses/elisp/brain")
  (with-eval-after-load 'evil
    (evil-set-initial-state 'org-brain-visualize-mode 'emacs))

  (setq org-id-track-globally t)
  (setq org-id-locations-file "~/.emacs.d/.org-id-locations")
  (add-hook 'before-save-hook #'org-brain-ensure-ids-in-buffer)

@FinnFrotscher

is this issue expected to be resolved?

Yes. Actually this issue need to be reopened. Because #385 which I made was a wrong PR. You need the PR #386

i am running into it and tried all shades of fixes i found in the issues here. various combinations of this:

What do you get error? What is your emacs kit and emacs version?

Did you apply the PR #386? You can use this snippet with #386

[LazerJesus]

My emacs version is "30.0.50" and its built from source, no doom or spacemacs. the error I get is:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (void-variable org-brain-poly-hostmode)
  #f(compiled-function () #<bytecode -0x18e197d61d110495>)()
  eval-after-load-helper("/Users/finn/.emacs.d/straight/build/polymode/polym...")
  run-hook-with-args(eval-after-load-helper "/Users/finn/.emacs.d/straight/build/polymode/polym...")
  do-after-load-evaluation("/Users/finn/.emacs.d/straight/build/polymode/polym...")

Did you apply the PR #386? I don't use vanilla Emacs with straight.el. The bytecompile error, it looks like it hasn't been patched.

[hwiorn]

@FinnFrotscher I updated the snippet.

I don't prefer vanilla configuration for now. So I tried to dig straight.el config and the issue you posted for a while.

My emacs version is also 30.0.50. I tested it with straight.el only and I confirmed it works. I think you need to install polymode package using straight if you don't use polymode elsewhere in your config. Check below setting.

[hwiorn]

@FinnFrotscher Did the config I pasted help you?

[LazerJesus]

@hwiorn well sort of. I implemented it just now and it works. but only when i run brain-visualize for the second time. the first time i get run-hooks: Cannot open load file: No such file or directory, org-brain-polymode.

[hwiorn]

Hm, I tried to reinstall from scratch few times, But I can't reproduce the case on straight.el config. It seems to be personal config issue. Or it might be issue by straight.el.
