Command doesn't show up in Doom Emacs

[Aarkon]

Hi!

I've got no clue about Emacs, but I'm trying to change that. I don't know what I did wrong, but after installing exercism.el the appropriate way in Doom Emacs ((package! exercism) in packages.el & doom sync etc. pp.), the exercismcommand doesn't show up and I therefore can not use it.

Is there any known incompatibility with Doom? Or am I to jump through some more hoops, what I'll happily do? ;)

Thanks for the work so far already!

Hey!

Do you mind trying use-package (or use-package!)? I use doom myself and I have this in my config: https://github.com/anonimitoraf/doom.d/blob/master/config-sections/packages.org#exercism

I looked at your config and pasted this into my packages.el:

(use-package! exercism
  :config
  (map! :map global-map :nv "SPC o e" #'exercism))

Running doom sync or doom/reload directly from Emacs gives me the following error though:

> Synchronizing "default" profile...
  > Regenerating envvars file
    ✓ Generated ~/.emacs.d/.local/env
  x There was an unexpected runtime error

  - Run 'doom sync' to repair it.

The same happens if I use the "naked" (use-package! exercism).

I still think it's pretty likely my fault, so thanks for the help. ^^

No worries. So you want to put that into your config.el instead

[Aarkon]

Thank you, that did the trick!

Might that be a worthy addition to the installation instructions?

[anonimitoraf]

Great to hear! I'll add it in tomorrow :)
