How to use packages in async-start? #106

Closed jennykwan closed 5 years ago

jennykwan commented 5 years ago

I'm trying to (require 'alert) or do something similar in async-start. No joy.

As an aside message isn't displaying in the minibuffer for me. Perhaps I'm expecting "echo area" to mean minibuffer area at the bottom and it isn't supposed to be?

Hi, sorry for the delay.

If you just (require 'alert) the child emacs have no clue where this package is located, you have first to give it the value of load-path by using in a quoted lambda ,(async-inject-variables "\\load-path\'")`. HTH.

I can approve it does work.

`(lambda ()
     ,(async-inject-variables "\\`load-path\'")

More exactly:

`(lambda ()
     ,(async-inject-variables "\\`load-path\\'")

sorry for the typo.
