wrong-type-argument timerp

[manuel-uberti]

Hi,

on a recent Emacs 28 (commit: 03dcceeeeeda6cefe4c0a79be328dd44b289b20b), I did this:

• emacs -Q
• M-x package-initialize
• M-x toggle-debug-on-error
• (spinner-start)

And then I got

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument timerp [t nil nil nil nil nil nil nil nil])
  timer--time-setter([t nil nil nil nil nil nil nil nil] (24878 14508 400000 0))
  timer-set-time([t nil nil nil nil nil nil nil nil] (24878 14508 400000 0) 0.1)
  spinner--start-timer(#s(spinner :frames ["┤" "┘" "┴" "└" "├" "┌" "┬" "┐"] :counter 0 :fps 10 :timer [t nil nil nil nil nil nil nil nil] :active-p t :buffer #<buffer *scratch*> :delay 0))
  spinner-start()
  (progn (spinner-start))

  command-execute(eval-last-sexp)

Looks like something changed in the byte-compilation output between 27 and 28 in a way that's not backwards compatible. I managed to reproduce the same problem here, and it got fixed by just reinstalling the package. (or you can recompile, if you know how to that)

Thank you for the quick reply. You're right: reinstalling the package fixed the problem.

No problem Manuel. If you feel like it, this might be worth submitting a bug report.
