emacs-lisp module causes "void variable: auto-minor-mode-alist"

jethrokuan commented 3 years ago

I'm getting:

Warning (initialization): An error occurred while loading ‘/home/jethro/.emacs.d/init.el’:

Error in a Doom module: modules/lang/emacs-lisp/config.el, (void-variable auto-minor-mode-alist)

To ensure normal operation, you should investigate and remove the
cause of the error in your initialization file.  Start Emacs with
the ‘--debug-init’ option to view a complete error backtrace. Disable showing Disable logging

when loading Doom Emacs. I traced this down to the following:

https://github.com/hlissner/doom-emacs/blob/develop/modules/lang/emacs-lisp/config.el#L204

which seems to use auto-minor-mode-alist, without ensuring a (require 'auto-minor-mode) is called. Not sure what optimizations Doom has in place here, but adding (require 'auto-minor-mode), in the init block there temporarily resolves this issue.

I cannot reproduce this on any of my test systems with vanilla Doom, on Emacs 26.3, 27.1 or 28+gccemacs, on NixOS, Ubuntu, Arch, MacOS, or Windows 10.

auto-minor-mode-alist is autoloaded, so a doom sync will pull its definition into the autoloads file that Doom loads at startup.

Here are a few possibilities:

When you installed Doom, the auto-minor-mode package failed to install and the error message was missed. Try deleting ~/.emacs.d/.local/straight/repos/auto-minor-mode manually then run doom sync.
An unrelated error has occurred and short-circuited other functionality in your config. Check *Messages* (SPC h e or C-h e to open it) for warnings or errors earlier in the log.
There is some breaking code in your private config. Try to reproduce this issue in the sandbox to rule out your private config.

With doom/sandbox Doom + modules - your private config:

Looks like the package failed to install. Try the other suggestions.

Hmm yeah, I had to nuke the entire .emacs.d folder and reinstall. Thanks!
