Helm recursive grep with adaptive history #986

Closed tollerm closed 9 years ago

tollerm commented 9 years ago

When performing recursive helm-grep and adaptive-history-mode is on, I got the error message "Wrong type argument: listp, ..." When looking further it turned out that the variable helm-adaptive-history is initialized to the value (("helm grep extensions" ("_" ...))) that obviously resulted in this error message. When I change the variable helm-adaptive-history to the expected value (("helm grep extensions" ("_" . 1))), everything works fine. It seems that there is a problem with initializing this variable. Best regards, Toller

For some reasons, it seems your helm-adaptative-history file is corrupted, you should quit emacs, delete the file and restart emacs.

Dear Thierry, I've deleted my helm-adaptive-history file a few times but this error comes always back.

Are you sure you delete your file from outside emacs? Otherwise emacs is saving again your history as it is when exiting.

I can't reproduce here, and I haven't deleted my adaptative file since 2 years about.

Do you have special settings ?

What happen if you:

1) Quit emacs. 2) from a terminal: rm ~/.emacs.d/helm-adaptive-history 3) cd /your/helm/directory/ ./emacs-helm.sh 4) M-x helm-find-files => goto some directory and C-u C-s

When I start ./emacs-helm.sh everything works fine. But when I use my own init.el file, then the variable helm-adaptive-history gets the value (("helm grep extensions" ("" ...))))), while the file helm-adaptive-history contains the following 3 lines: ;; -- mode: emacs-lisp -_- ;; History entries used for helm adaptive display. (setq helm-adaptive-history (quote (("helm grep extensions" ("_" ("" . 2)))))) Obviously, something strange happens during reading this file. May be I have something wrong in my init.el file? The helm part of the init.el file is ;; \ Helm (use-package helm :diminish helm-mode :bind (("M-x" . helm-M-x) ("C-x C-f" . helm-find-files) ("C-x b" . helm-mini) ("M-y" . helm-show-kill-ring)) :init (setq helm-quick-update t ; do not display invisible candidates helm-split-window-in-side-p t ; open helm inside current window helm-buffers-fuzzy-matching t ; fuzzy matching buffer names when non-nil helm-move-to-line-cycle-in-source t ; move to end or begin when reaching top or bottom helm-ff-search-library-in-sexp t ; search for lib in require' anddeclare-function' sexp helm-scroll-amount 8 ; scroll 8 lines other window bhelm-ff-file-name-history-use-recentf t helm-truncate-lines t) (setq helm-external-programs-associations '(("pdf" .

Are you using session.el ?

IIRC There was a similar problem with this package, I don't remember what was the workaround though.

Ah! found it:

https://github.com/emacs-helm/helm/issues/94

Not sure it is related to your problem though.

May be I have something wrong in my init.el file?

Yes, obviously something is corrupting your file.

Yes, indeed I am using session.el. And setting (setq session-save-print-spec '(t nil 40000)) in my init.el solved the problem. Never could think that the session package should be related to the helm-adaptive-history. Thank you very much for your help, Thierry and sorry for wasting your time. T.

Note that as helm-adaptative-history have its own file saved by helm, probably you can just remove it from the list of variables saved by session.el, don't know if it is possible though as I don't use this package (I use my own package psession.el).

Thank you very much for your help, Thierry and sorry for wasting your time. T.

You are welcome.
