There seems to be a bug in the way the variable vr/match-separator-string is initialised. Recipe to reproduce:
$ emacs -Q -L /path/to/visual-regexp/
Then in Emacs:
M-: (require 'visual-regexp)
C-x C-f <some-file> RET
M-x vr/query-replace RET
<some regex with matches> RET
Then, when asked for a replacement string, simply hit RET, i.e., leave the replacement string empty.
At this point, I get the error:
vr--perform-query-replace: Symbol’s value as variable is void: vr/match-separator-string
C-h v vr/match-separator-string RET indicates this as well:
vr/match-separator-string is a variable defined in ‘visual-regexp.el’.
It is void as a variable.
Documentation:
This string is used to separate a match from the replacement during feedback.
You can customize this variable.
Notice the It is void as a variable line where the value should appear.
If I call vr/query-replace again and then pick the previous search/replace pair (with the empty replacement string) from the minibuffer history, everything works fine.
This is on Emacs 25.1.2, visual-regexp 20160806.610 installed from Melpa (should be the most recent version, as I just updated my packages a few minutes ago).
