Changed settings for output format cannot be saved. #84

Closed abradd closed 6 years ago

abradd commented 6 years ago

Using 20180727.2201 for Melpa. When updating the output format I am prompted to save the current settings for original output format (not the one I am changing to). If I select yes, an error is produced with Wrong type argument: stringp, nil

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Enter pandoc-mode with C-c /
  2. Set output format
  3. Set or change input format
  4. Change output format The prompt will occur at this point.

This doesn't happen on my machine, so I'm afraid I'll need to ask you if you could do some debugging. Could you, after setting the output format in step 2, check the pandoc-mode settings with C-/ S?

It would probably also help if you could run the uncompiled source (move the *.elc files for pandoc-mode out of the way and restart Emacs) and do M-x toggle-debug-on-error before triggering the error. Thanks.

I'll try to do some debugging in the next few days and get back to you. Cheers.

Have you made any progress on this?

abradd commented 6 years ago

Haven't figured it out yet, but I'm pretty confident this isn't related to pandoc-mode as I am seeing the behaviour in some other circumstances. I'll close this and get back to you if it turns out that is it related to pandoc-mode.

Cheers

Still, feel free to send me a backtrace of the error. Perhaps I can glean something from it.
