Wrong number of arguments

[azzamsa]

After updating dimmer.el today. I got this error:

error in minibuffer:

Eager macro-expansion failure: (wrong-number-of-arguments (3 . 4) 2) [2 times]
define-obsolete-variable-alias: Wrong number of arguments: (3 . 4), 2

error in emacs --debug-init:

version:

4abe515 (HEAD -> master, upstream/master, origin/master) 9 months ago fix for dimmer-configure-company-box causing runtime errors (Neil Okamoto)

GNU Emacs 28.0.50 (build 7, x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.24.5, cairo version 1.16.0) of 2021-01-25

Hi. Well, that commit hash you listed 4abe515 is quite a few months old, and the fix you need for Emacs 28 went in just about 2 weeks ago... can you adjust your configuration and see if you can get a more recent version installed? That should be the fix you need.

Oh my bad.

I always use straight.el to pull the newest version.

-(use-package dimmer
-  :straight (dimmer :type git :flavor melpa :host github :repo "gonewest818/dimmer.el" :remote "upstream"
-                    :fork (:host github :repo "azzamsa/dimmer.el" :remote "origin" :branch "master"))

I removed that lines, because the upstream now fixes everything. Unfortunately, I typed the wrong command.

 git pull origin master --rebase

and it should be

 git pull upstream master --rebase

---

Sorry for the noise. Thanks a lot for dimmer.el!

No problem! Glad it’s working for you.
