Auctex/Reftex issue

[davidcarslaw]

When using reflex to insert a citation from a bibliography I get:

Error in post-command-hook (helm--maybe-update-keymap): (error "No buffer named helm")

I can still type in a Regex - but it does not show the list of candidates that can then be narrowed. If I type "smith" nothing is shown. I then press return and it does narrow the buffer to references containing "smith".

Thanks

I suppose you mean reftex, but which reftex-* command ? Please provide a complete recipe of what you are doing, I can't guess. Thanks.

OK, apologies. In a latex file, using Reflex to insert a citation you do C-c [, which brings up a menu with different citation styles, I close t (textcite). This then brings up in mini buffer Regex{ && Regex...}{high\.]:

If I type an expression, say "smith" no candidates are shown from which I can narrow. I can press return and edit will come up with all candidates containing "smith".

Could you provide a link to such latex file (or similar) so that I can reproduce here what you are doing ?

Thanks.

OK. Here is a minimal tex file:

\documentclass{article}

\bibliography{test.bib}{}

\begin{document}

Some test text. 

\end{document}

And if you save the text below in a file called test.bib, in the same directory as the tex file above.

@article{einstein,
    author =       "Albert Einstein",
    title =        "{Zur Elektrodynamik bewegter K{\"o}rper}. ({German})
        [{On} the electrodynamics of moving bodies]",
    journal =      "Annalen der Physik",
    volume =       "322",
    number =       "10",
    pages =        "891--921",
    year =         "1905",
    DOI =          "http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/andp.19053221004"
}

@book{latexcompanion,
    author    = "Michel Goossens and Frank Mittelbach and Alexander Samarin",
    title     = "The \LaTeX\ Companion",
    year      = "1993",
    publisher = "Addison-Wesley",
    address   = "Reading, Massachusetts"
}

@misc{knuthwebsite,
    author    = "Donald Knuth",
    title     = "Knuth: Computers and Typesetting",
    url       = "http://www-cs-faculty.stanford.edu/\~{}uno/abcde.html"
}

Open the tex file, put cursor at end of "Some test text", C-c [ to insert citation, t for text citation, then start typing "einst" or some other text that exists in the bib file. For me it does not show candidates.

Thanks for the sample files.

Here what happened:

I created the files as you describe above and hit `C-c [', and I had completion on the 3 entriesthat are in bib files. Hitting RET bring me to a menu, hitting RET again insert the citation.

After restarting emacs, I have no completion, only history. But this is not helm fault, because when disabling helm-mode I had no more completion.

OK, thanks for looking into this. It's a minor thing. I'm loving helm BTW - I keep discovering neat things I can do that I didn't know about. I really miss helm when I'm forced to use non-emacs software...

Thanks, it looks like an emacs bug, but I am unsure on how works this, my latex/bibtex knowledge is limited, maybe you can try submitting a bugreport to emacs.

Closing, as this looks like an emacs bug, feel free to reopen if you find something wrong in helm itself. Thanks.

@davidcarslaw did you manage to solve this problem? I am facing the same exact issue.
