error during redisplay: void-variable mode-line

[Vonfry]

Recently, spaceline-all-the-icons cannot work for me. I have tried to track why it is, but failed.

If I disable this package, my emacs can work correctly. I have tried to test only with spaceline and spaceline-all-the-icons by only loading the two packages with emacs -q, and the issue is same.

I'm also having this problem, it started occurring with the latest spaceline release spaceline-20181223.2024. You can work around this by pinning spaceline-2.0.1 melpa-stable.

The problem I'm seeing is that the modeline appears blank and the error Error during redisplay: (eval (spaceline-ml-all-the-icons)) signaled (void-variable mode-line) repeats.

Here is a minimal init.el that will reproduce the error:

(require 'package)
(setq package-enable-at-startup nil)
(add-to-list 'package-archives '("melpa" . "http://melpa.org/packages/"))
(add-to-list 'package-archives '("melpa-stable" . "http://stable.melpa.org/packages/"))
(package-initialize)

(unless (package-installed-p 'use-package)
  (package-refresh-contents)
  (package-install 'use-package))

(use-package all-the-icons :ensure t)
(use-package spaceline :ensure t)
(use-package spaceline-all-the-icons
  :ensure t
  :after spaceline
  :config
  (spaceline-all-the-icons-theme))

Quoting the faces after each :face in the calls to spaceline-compile in spaceline-all-the-icons.el was a sufficient fix for me, besides the highlight-face and default-face.

See this commit here: https://github.com/TheBB/spaceline/commit/ddd4907e4775dd0aa242936f1c8bfbb6bd1afae4.

This was how I fixed it: https://github.com/syl20bnr/spacemacs/issues/11784#issuecomment-452633754

Hopefully once the fix you mention is deployed I can roll my changes back.

This issue should be re-opened until a fix is actually merged. I have a fix that doesn't involve pinning that I'm about to create a pull request for.

[mjgiarlo]

@hexmode are you still planning to submit a PR for this? @Vonfry @domtronn are you inclined to consider said PR?

Thanks, all.

[hexmode]

@mjgiarlo thanks for the nudge. I thought I had a pull request already. I think @domtronn has to merge it, though, not @Vonfry.
