All gist functions result in: Wrong type argument: stringp, nil

[goodevilgenius]

I just installed gist via marmalade on Emacs 24.3.1 on Windows 7. I ran the function gist-list and it gave the error Wrong type argument: stringp, nil. I tried several other gist- functions, all with the same result. It didn't ask for a username or password.

1. I got gh profile configured and set.
2. gist keeps to ask for username and password (why?)
3. Some error reports I get:

gh-url-set-response: Changing multibyteness in a narrowed buffer

For emacs 24.3.1 x86_64-pc-linux-gnu I also recieve. "Wrong type argument: listp, "https://developer.github.com/v3"" while doing initial gist-list. Currently unable to use it at all. Removing, installing ... did not work.

Like @marcinant, I also get the password/username question all the time. :(

@cb0: I had the same "wrong type argument listp" problem in emacs 24.4.1. I fixed it by re-installing all my elpa packages. YMMV.

I'm unable to reproduce, but there I've seem weird issues that seem to suggest that eieio underwent some changes that require getting rid of old .elc files. You might wanna try that... :/

I'm still unale to use it. That's the detail error, maybe someone can see what's wrong.

I get this error: byte-code: Wrong type argument: listp, "https://developer.github.com/v3" with emacs 24.5 using latest MELPA package and dependencies.

I fixed it by moving the gitconfig entry for token to token-oauth, I think the github blog entry which is referenced in the Readme is way to old (from 2008...) and the config sytnax has changed now.

Seeing the same thing as @axionix after being prompted for username/password, on 24.5 with latest off melpa

Same problem here.
