Periodic errors from consult-line

[jonathanwilner]

This may very well be a personal configuration issue, but I think it's over my head to figure out how to track what's impacting the positioning using consult-line.

I don't get the error every time - and I can't quite figure out how to repro - or in any particular mode. Happy to hunt for this if it's happening to others, or hoping for a tip on how to solve this!

Hello @jonathanwilner , Thanks for reporting this.

Can you explain the context in which you are getting this error? I should be able to reproduce it to debug it.

[abougouffa]

Hi again @jonathanwilner

I've pushed a commit that should solve this. Please let me know if this fixes the issue.

[jonathanwilner]

Hi - you are right that it was happening in the mini-buffer. I unfortunately believe it may still be occurring, but now I also know where to explore. I'll keeping going and see if it's either gone or I can consistently reproduce.

Thanks!

[abougouffa]

I suspect the advice around consult commands to be the source of this issue. You can disable the advices by dropping this in your config.el, this can help to identify if this is really the cause of the problem.

(with-eval-after-load 'consult
  (dolist (cmd '(consult-line consult-man))
    (advice-remove cmd #'+consult--dwim-first-arg-a))
  (dolist (cmd '(consult-ripgrep consult-line-multi consult-grep consult-find))
    (advice-remove cmd #'+consult--dwim-second-arg-a)))

[jonathanwilner]

@abougouffa - THANK YOU ! This looks like it's working.

[jonathanwilner]

Nope - it's definitely still happening. When the mini-buffer frame is small, it can prompt an args out of range error. Making the mini-buffer/frame wider will usually (potentially always) solve the problem.

[abougouffa]

I didn't get it! What steps can I apply to reproduce the issue?

Did you try to add the snippet mentioned above to your config.el? If yes, then I think the issue should be reported to consult, the advices are the only tweak I apply to consult's commands.

Hi - I did try it and it doesn't help. If you squeeze down the size of the Emacs app far enough, you can likely see the error happen pretty consistently. :-(

[abougouffa]

In this case, I think this should be reported in the consult repo.

NB: I didn't manage to reproduce the bug!

i think you can make prune and reinstall

[jonathanwilner]

I switched to a non native-compilation build of Emacs and the problem disappeared. I'm going to close this one and apologize for wasting time !

Aha! It could be related to this https://github.com/abougouffa/minemacs/issues/38#issuecomment-1482611285
