Invalid byte code error (cl--defalias) in emacs 24.5 and emacs 25.x

[kaushalmodi]

Hi,

I haven't tried M-x esup in earlier versions but in versions 24.5 (latest stable as of now) and the latest build from git master branch (25.x), I get this error:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "Invalid byte code")

Emacs byte-code isn't stable between versions. It looks like esup is struggle with a newer version of byte code.

Please post the contents of *esup-log*. It probably won't appear by default, but it does exist.

[kaushalmodi]

Thanks for looking into it.

Here are links to stuff that might help with the debug:

• *esup-log*
• my init.el

For what it's worth, I saw this too:

  command-line()
  normal-top-level()

Deleting all the smartparens/*.elc files and bytecompiling afresh does not help.

Ok, I'll investigate. The tricky part is isolating the issue.

I was able to reproduce this with (require 'dired-x) enabled during profiling. Disabling debugging when profiling (https://github.com/jschaf/esup/pull/37) works around this issue.

[jschaf]

Can you give it a try now that debugging is disabled?

[kaushalmodi]

I now get this error:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (file-error "make server process failed" "Success" :name "esup-server" :type nil :server t :host local :service t :family nil :nowait t :stop nil :buffer "esup-log" :coding utf-8 :noquery t :filter esup--server-filter :sentinel esup--server-sentinel :log esup--server-logger) make-network-process(:name "esup-server" :type nil :server t :host local :service t :family nil :nowait t :stop nil :buffer "esup-log" :coding utf-8 :noquery t :filter esup--server-filter :sentinel esup--server-sentinel :log esup--server-logger) esup-server-create(t) esup(nil)

Looks like you are seeing the same issue too.

Currently, I am on the latest master build.

[destroyhimmyrobots]

It looks like I was mistaken, and had dired-x disabled while testing this, so evidently #37 doesn't work around the invalid byte-code issue. (Sorry @jschaf). I haven't seen the trace you mentioned on the latest master, however.

[jschaf]

@kaushalmodi I found a work-around by removing the :nowait t, or setting it to nil. I'm still not exactly sure what changed in make-network-process.

[kaushalmodi]

@jschaf Thanks! That worked for me too. I'll close this issue as the fix seems to be done in the master. But if removing :nowait t works for any emacs version, please commit that.

[jschaf]

Glad it worked. I'll change it tonight.
