external editing doesn't work #7

When Conkeror is opened from GUI and run_external_editor_function or run_external_editor_functionis set to emacsclient, emacsclient cannot find the sever. But when Conkeror is invoked by Applications/Conkeror.app/Contents/MacOS/xulrunner_launcher, emacsclient can find the sever and open the file correctly.

I think it is caused by the environment variables, or some other reasons, but I have no idea about how to solve the problem.

I find something related to this problem, and it finally works!

Well, the solution (see below) in EmacsWiki is not perfect since some other packages such as magit would be affected.

(setq server-socket-dir (format "/tmp/emacs%d" (user-uid)))

A little bit more perfect is set editor_shell_command to the value of with-editor-emacsclient-executable. For me, It is something like /private/var/folders/h6/9g_dxxxxxxxxxxxx0gn/T/AppTranslocation/1XXXXXXX5DF0C/d/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/bin/emacsclient.

But it cannot permanently get work.

editor_shell_command = "/Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/bin/emacsclient -c -s ${TMPDIR}emacs${UID}/server"
