error: (wrong-type-argument listp evil-mc-make-all-cursors) on load

[hlissner]

Getting this error when loading evil-mc due to the incorrectly structured value for evil-mc-cursors-map introduced in https://github.com/gabesoft/evil-mc/commit/6e3a42e656e32ab2f87f04c5a47fe7f2a22b26fa (#100).

A note for Doom Emacs users: add (defvar evil-mc-cursors-map nil) to your private config to temporarily fix the issue. Doom binds these keys manually (on the gz prefix, rather than gr), so there will be no loss of functionality.

A temporary fix in Spacemacs is to add evil-mc to the dotspacemacs-excluded-packages variable in .spacemacs.

Adding hilssner's suggestion:

(defvar evil-mc-cursors-map nil)

to the dotspacemacs/user-init section of .spacemacs also removes the startup warning. But the gr evil-mc key bindings won't work.

The commit was just reverted: Revert "Use a keymap (#100)" (#107) https://github.com/gabesoft/evil-mc/commit/007d471e26b44e692250804f82f06ebbd27b6ec4

Melpa has updated the evil-mc version now. I just updated and the warning is gone.

[hlissner]

The issue is resolved. Thanks for the quick response and the amazing plugin!
