Error custom-initialize-reset: Symbol’s function definition is void: helm-mode--in-file-completion-p #413

Closed averter closed 2 years ago

averter commented 2 years ago

I use helm-bibtex mainly to visualize my references in combination with org-ref. Today I was not able to, because of the following error custom-initialize-reset: Symbol’s function definition is void: helm-mode--in-file-completion-p. I've used toggle-debug-on-error to try to obtain some more info, but it's not been easy as the debug buffer constantly disappeared (had to take a screenshot) image

All that is needed to reproduce is to call helm-bibtex, and I am using version 63c108a5efc130f037bc1c36cb3ee7d963567c12, emacs 27.1 on Linux Mint 21. Thank you in advance for any help.

Someone else reported the same error, but it's not happening on my system. We haven't changed anything recently that could explain this error. I think the issue may perhaps be in helm?

tmalsburg commented 2 years ago

Please make sure that helm is correctly installed.

@tmalsburg Thanks. It is working now, but I had to look at the package list and install "manually" (by marking helm and helm-bibtex with "I" and then "x"). For some reason use-package is not doing what is supposed to do... Could it be because of my configuration? I am calling org-ref as follows

(use-package org-ref
  :ensure t :ensure helm :ensure ivy-bibtex :ensure helm-bibtex
  :bind (("\C-c«" . helm-bibtex)                 ; helm-bibtex
         ("\C-c )"  . org-ref-insert-link)
         ("\C-x c d" . doi-utils-add-bibtex-entry-from-doi)  ; find based on doi
         ("\C-x c n" . crossref-add-bibtex-entry))       ; find based on name
   [other stuff]
   )

In any case, I'll close this issue.

Glad that it's working now. No idea about the cause since I don't use use-package myself.

It also works for me whenever I reinstall it, but as soon as I restart emacs the error returns

I'm glad that you made this comment as when I restart indeed the error returns...something fishy is going on

tmalsburg commented 2 years ago

If it stops working after restarting, I strongly suspect that the root cause is not in this package. Seems more likely that it's in helm or in the package manager.

@thierryvolpiatto could it be because the installation is via melpa instead of straight as suggested in helm's installation instructions? @boturon are you also installing via melpa, and can you also share your configuration so that we can try to reproduce the bug? thanks.

No, it is because I use since recently helm-mode--in-file-completion-p in helm-core and it is not yet required, I will fix this soon. If you start helm-mode in your config this should not happen.
