void function `elpaca-ui--buttonize`

[Luis-Henriquez-Perez]

Installing packages works fine until it stops working. I get an error saying that elpaca-ui--buttonize is void. I got the error first when I calling elpaca-try on the package solarized-theme and then when I tried installing org-auto-tangle. Now, that being said, I suspect it doesn't have to do with the specific package being installed.

Looking at the source code I see that elpaca-ui--buttonize is an alias for buttonize (in my case with emacs 27). I suspect somehow the alias wasn't compiled properly.

(defalias 'elpaca-ui--buttonize
  (with-no-warnings (if (version< emacs-version "29.1") #'button-buttonize #'buttonize)))

Here is a backtrace of me trying to install the company package. I noticed it's also mentioning a package I tried to install prior to this, lf.

Interestingly, this error doesn't happen immediately. It happens after installing a few packages. Again, not sure whether certain packages triggering this.

I tried: 1- re-evaluating this form It evaluated successfully but I kept getting the same error. 2- re-building elpaca The error doesn't let me re-build it.

I restarted my emacs. Installed company-mode, then installed markdown-mode. Installing company was successful. But just happened again while installing markdown-mode. Bizarrely, it referenced a package I had installed during my last emacs session (actually not sure if it was last session or current but I'll keep reporting as I learn more), enwc.

I am going to try bootstraping elpaca and all my packages again. I need to do so anyway because there's an issue I've been planning on making with the bootstrapping.

[progfolio]

Thanks for the report. I'm working on a fix for this now.

The reason you're not seeing it for every package is because that code is only called when logging byte-compilation errors. The problem is that the button-buttonize function wasn't introduced until Emacs 28 I just need to set the proper alias for Emacs 27 (if one exists, otherwise I'll alias so that the function is a no-op).

[progfolio]

This should be fixed as of 1c5ccec. Thanks again for the bug report. Testing appreciated.

[Luis-Henriquez-Perez]

I've upgraded my version of elpaca and if the error ever happens again I will notify you (or reopen this issue if it has been closed).
