Prevent `:defer 0.1` packages from loading in batch mode #927

Open aaronjensen opened 3 years ago

aaronjensen commented 3 years ago

I tend to think of :defer 0.1 as effectively "load this package after 0.1s of idle time after init. I just learned that this isn't how it works--it actually considers idle time during a batch process to be enough to load the package. I compile my emacs config in a batch process, so what happens is packages I defer end up getting required after the batch process. I guess for now I will do a manual deferral in an after init hook, but it'd be great if defer's semantics were changed or there were a way to specify that I didn't want the idle time to start until after init.

Thanks!

Actually, maybe I'm totally wrong on this. Maybe it's just that during byte compile all configs are evaluated... is that what's going on here?
