(void-variable elm)

[caisah]

Every time after I update my packages with cask and there is a new version of elm-mode when I (require 'elm-mode) I get (void-variable elm). This is from my init:

`Debugger entered--Lisp error: (void-variable elm)

I have to delete the package and install it via package to get it working. Do you have any ideas why this may happen? Is it a problem with elm-mode or cask? How could I fix it? Thanks!

I don't know enough about how cask works to give an informed opinion, but that error looks similar to what is described here. i.e. for some reason the ac-define-source call gets byte compiled and the interpreter then assumes it's a function (even though it's a macro) which leads it to evaluate its first argument, elm, when you load auto-complete; obviously there is no elm variable so that leads to that error. My recommendation would be to ensure you byte-compile auto-complete before elm-mode.

Thanks for the reply, I'll look forward into it.

It looks like you weren't the only one experiencing the problem: https://github.com/syl20bnr/spacemacs/issues/4682 . I'm re-opening this issue until I get a fix in.

Alright, this problem should no longer happen.
