`emacsclient` doesn't works.

[samyakbardiya]

I am trying to open via leetcode edit <ID> command, it is working fine with vim, nvim & even emacs but does not open the file with emacsclient it gives error:

$ leetcode edit 1
error: No such file or directory (os error 2), please try again

here's my leetcode.toml

[code]
editor = "emacsclient -n -s doom"             # "nvim" and "emacs" works fine
lang = "cpp"
pick = "${fid}.${slug}"
submission = "${fid}.${slug}.${sid}.${ac}"

Note: emacsclient is the command to use emacs in daemon-client mode.

what about just using emacsclient? I'm an emacs user also

@clearloop, then this error comes up:

$ leetcode edit 1
emacsclient: can't find socket; have you started the server?
emacsclient: To start the server in Emacs, type "M-x server-start".
emacsclient: No socket or alternate editor.  Please use:

        --socket-name
        --server-file      (or environment variable EMACS_SERVER_FILE)
        --alternate-editor (or environment variable ALTERNATE_EDITOR)

that's why -s doom is important, it solves this error.

I have tried every other options but all them gave the same error, the previous one.

I have tried -c, -nw & -nc along with -s doom; but no success.

that's why -s doom is important, it solves this error.

hi @samyak039 !, have you run emacs --daemon before emacsclient?

[samyakbardiya]

yeah of cource. it's in my xinit file.

edit: I forgot to mention, if I open the file manually it working fine.

$ emacsclient -n -s doom <file>

[clearloop]

hmmm, my editor config is just emacsclient

[code]
editor = 'emacsclient'
lang = 'rust'
pick = '${fid}.${slug}'
submission = '${fid}.${slug}.${sid}.${ac}'

and it works fine...the code of using editor is here https://github.com/clearloop/leetcode-cli/blob/2b373c0eee7824d96f13353cbe7ff53828db5815/src/cmds/edit.rs#L102, not sure if this could help

[samyakbardiya]

maybe I found the issue, it is that your editor command is unable to deal with the options given to it.

I tested it:

• nvim working but nvim -o not working
• bat working but bat -p not working
• likewise, your emacsclient is working, but mine emacsclient -s doom is not

hence the issue is that the rust command is unable to parse the option given in the editor command.

PS. I cannot open any file if I don't give -s doom along with the command, ig this is happening because I am using chemacs2

exactly, and we mb can update the command to sth like

let editor_with_args = conf.code.editor.split(" ");

// do some checking stuffs

let mut editor_args = editor_with_args[0..];
editor_args.push(file_name);

std::process::Command::new(editor_with_args[0]).args(editor_args);

sorry I don't know any rust :)

[clearloop]

sorry I don't know any rust :)

nevermind, I can fix this on this weekend

[samyakbardiya]
