Seems not working after ELPA upgrade

[rongcuid]

Sorry I can't provide much information. I just did an upgrade from ELPA and suddenly ergoemacs stopped working. I tried manual checkout, but it works for the first time, and when I restart emacs, it does not work. All ergoemacs key bindings don't work. I am trying to checkout different tags without success. i don't quite know how to debug this.

[rongcuid]

Comment this line ;(ergoemacs-theme-option-off '(apps apps-apps apps-punctuation apps-swap)) which is in my init.el for whatever reason, AND reverted to tag v5.13.11 and it works. I am going to test newer tags

[rongcuid]

5.13.12-2 Works too

[rongcuid]

Well, on this try it worked all the way to the latest tag, but some intermediate ones gave segmentation fault... The latest v5.14.7.3 gives lots of warning but the v5.14.7.1 does not, so I am using that one. I think the only change was that I deleted ~/.emacs.d/ergoemacs-extra (probably)

[rongcuid]

Emacs daemon stops working though, it hang at Package assoc is obsolete! I am not so sure whether it is ergoemacs now...

[rongcuid]

OK, after some line-by-line debugging, I found that once (require 'ergoemacs-mode) is added, the daemon does not fully start, which means emacs is stuck at some place. I have no idea why.

[rongcuid]

The only thing that looks like an error message in Message is: byte-code: Symbol's value as variable is void: ergoemacs

[mattfidler]

Please post your configuration and tell me what OS and emacs version you are using so I can see if I can reproduce it.

I am on Funtoo amd64, with emacs 24.3. I am not sure if I can get attachments here because I have multiple config files. These two are the main ones.

Why do you use the after-init-hook; Could you try just loading the file directly (enabling ergoemacs-mode of course)

[rongcuid]

The same if I put the require line directly in init.el.

[mattfidler]

I can't reproduce with your init under windows. Have you deleted all the elc files in the ergoemacs-mode directory?

[rongcuid]

I deleted the whole directory. Not sure about the etc files.

[rongcuid]

Does not work even with emacs -q --load ergoconfig Where the ergoconfig contains only instructions to load ergoemacs

[mattfidler]

Could you change the start to

emacs -Q --load ergoconfig

[rongcuid]

Well, ok, it worked... Now I need to find how my config files mess this up.

[mattfidler]

Could you look at your site-lisp directory. Thats where the problem is happening.

[rongcuid]

site-lisp? Why is that the problem?

[rongcuid]

It seems that ergoemacs is not loading if I put it in real_init.el. but it always worked before.

[rongcuid]

That should be caused by -Q. If I now use an init.el that just loads real_init.el, it works. Then it should be some config in init.el, I am checking now.

[rongcuid]

I have a file called init.el.before_ecb_2.40 for some reason, and I used that file and it seems that ergoemacs is working. However, since I don't see the comments on top of scratch, I think something is still wrong.

[mattfidler]

Because -Q ignores the site settings.

[rongcuid]

Now I don't know why but both init files can initialize ergoemacs now... However, since scratch does not echo information, something should be wrong...

[rongcuid]

Well, it does not work without the -Q option... How do I find where are the site lisps?

[mattfidler]

From fhe emacs wiki

The default value of ‘load-path’ includes two special directories recursively: /usr/local/share/emacs/VERSION/site-lisp and /usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp. (On Windows, the equivalent location is C:\Program Files\emacs-VERSION\site-lisp.) The first directory contains packages for a particular Emacs version; the second contains packages for all installed versions of Emacs. These directories contain files for the current site, for use by the system administrator when installing software locally[1].

~/.emacs.d/ on the other hand contains files for the current user, and is independent of system-wide changes. This makes it the best choice for storing your personal changes. Installing all packages in a sub-directory of ~/.emacs.d/ also makes it very easy to move them along with your configuration to a different machine.

[rongcuid]

One thing I noticed is that if -Q is passed, it takes several seconds to load ergoemacs-advice.el, but on the other hand it takes a long time. And there is a message "package assoc is obsolete" which is always there but not present in -Q.

[rongcuid]

The problem comes from CEDET. I uninstalled CEDET from distribution, and somehow it works. After I reinstall, it stops working.

[rongcuid]

OK, I think I confirmed that the problem comes from CEDET 1.1 installed by distro package manager. I uninstalled that, and now ergoemacs and emacs itself works perfectly(at least for those are tested)

[mattfidler]

You should probably remove CEDET 1.1, if you look at emacs 24.3, the cedet that is built-in is 2.0

[mattfidler]

Ergoemacs-mode has been tested with eieio 1.4

[rongcuid]

I removed cedet 1.1, and now I have that GUI frame problem too...

[mattfidler]

I'm unsure. What is the GUI frame problem?

[rongcuid]

Exactly as #292

[mattfidler]

Since I'm on windows, I don't have daemon access. Could you test this.

[rongcuid]

I will. However, I am not quite sure how to debug elisp since emacs does not say anything about errors: it just hangs, and the only symptom I can find is probably the scratch page...

[rongcuid]

Sorry, I don't know elisp so I cannot debug... The only thing I could do is this:

[mattfidler]

Sorry I mis-spoke. I believe I fixed the issue, and would like you to test the newest version.

You will have to wait for marmalade to update the package, then download the update, and see if it works. Issue #292 has been closed because it works for other people.

[rongcuid]

Oh, ok. I will test it. What was changed?

[rongcuid]

I did a git pull and tested, but there is still this problem. I am on commit ad92be9c9307ed7593278598e5bbc402ef542f9a

[mattfidler]

It was shown above.

[mattfidler]

Please clarify about the problem. There was so many things mentioned, I cannot figure out what you are speaking about.

[rongcuid]

Sorry. Now my problem is that I get ERROR: Wrong type argument: stringp, C-source When I try to run emacsclient -c Just like in #292. The original problem of mine is fixed after removing CEDET 1.1.

[mattfidler]

This is another possible fix for this issue. I still cannot test this.

[rongcuid]

Works!

[mattfidler]

Great
