bug#64834: 28.2; Auctex fails to load properly

[Roger Lipsett]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 14968 bytes --]

I recently switched from an Intel Mac to an Apple Silicon mac, and
Auctex no longer loads properly.

If I start an emacs server, set debug-on-error to t, and try to load a .tex
file, I get the
following, and the first line below continues until I get the message
"error lisp nesting exceeds 'max-lisp-eval-depth'".
  internal--fill-string-single-line("Use the command `TeX-Omega-mode' to
change this va...")
  internal--fill-string-single-line("Use the command `TeX-Omega-mode' to
change this va...")
  internal--fill-string-single-line("Use the command `TeX-Omega-mode' to
change this va...")
  internal--format-docstring-line("Use the command `%s' to change this
variable." TeX-Omega-mode)
  #f(compiled-function (arg1 arg2 &rest rest) "Define a new minor mode
MODE.\nThis defines the toggle command MODE and (by default) a control
variable\nMODE (you can override this with the :variable keyword, see
below).\nDOC is the documentation for the mode toggle command.\n\nThe
defined mode command takes one optional (prefix) argument.\nInteractively
with no prefix argument, it toggles the mode.\nA prefix argument enables
the mode if the argument is positive,\nand disables it otherwise.\n\nWhen
called from Lisp, the mode command toggles the mode if the\nargument is
`toggle', disables the mode if the argument is a\nnon-positive integer, and
enables the mode otherwise (including\nif the argument is omitted or nil or
a positive integer).\n\nIf DOC is nil, give the mode command a basic
doc-string\ndocumenting what its argument does.  If the word \"ARG\" does
not\nappear in DOC, a paragraph is added to DOC explaining\nusage of the
mode argument.\n\nBODY contains code to execute each time the mode is
enabled or disabled.\n  It is executed after toggling the mode, and before
running MODE-hook.\n  Before the actual body code, you can write keyword
arguments, i.e.\n  alternating keywords and values.  If you provide BODY,
then you must\n  provide at least one keyword argument (e.g. `:lighter
nil`).\n  The following special keywords are supported (other keywords are
passed\n  to `defcustom' if the minor mode is global):\n\n:global
GLOBAL\11If non-nil specifies that the minor mode is not meant to
be\n\11\11buffer-local, so don't make the variable MODE
buffer-local.\n\11\11By default, the mode is buffer-local.\n:init-value
VAL\11the initial value of the mode's variable.\n\11\11Note that the minor
mode function won't be called by setting\n\11\11this option, so the value
*reflects* the minor mode's natural\n\11\11initial state, rather than
*setting* it.\n\11\11In the vast majority of cases it should be
nil.\n\11\11Not used if you also specify :variable.\n:lighter SPEC\11Text
displayed in the mode line when the mode is on.\n:keymap MAP\11Keymap bound
to the mode keymap.  Defaults to `MODE-map'.\n                If non-nil,
it should be an unquoted variable name (whose value\n                is a
keymap), or an expression that returns either a keymap or\n\11\11a list of
(KEY . BINDING) pairs where KEY and BINDING are\n\11\11suitable for
`define-key'.  If you supply a KEYMAP argument\n\11\11that is not a symbol,
this macro defines the variable MODE-map\n\11\11and gives it the value that
KEYMAP specifies.\n:interactive VAL  Whether this mode should be a command
or not.  The default\n                is to make it one; use nil to avoid
that.  If VAL is a list,\n                it's interpreted as a list of
major modes this minor mode\n                is useful in.\n:variable
PLACE\11The location to use instead of the variable MODE to
store\n\11\11the state of the mode.\11This can be simply a
different\n\11\11named variable, or a generalized variable.\n\11\11PLACE
can also be of the form (GET . SET), where GET is\n\11\11an expression that
returns the current state, and SET is\n\11\11a function that takes one
argument, the new state, which should\n                be assigned to
PLACE.  If you specify a :variable, this function\n                does not
define a MODE variable (nor any of the terms used\n\11\11in
:variable).\n:after-hook     A single Lisp form which is evaluated after
the mode hooks\n                have been run.  It should not be
quoted.\n\nFor example, you could write\n  (define-minor-mode foo-mode \"If
enabled, foo on you!\"\n    :lighter \" Foo\" :require \\='foo :global t
:group \\='hassle :version \"27.5\"\n    ...BODY CODE...)\n\nFor backward
compatibility with the Emacs<21 calling convention,\nthe keywords can also
be preceded by the obsolete triplet\nINIT-VALUE LIGHTER KEYMAP." #<bytecode

How did you switch?  Especially, did you copy over ~/.emacs.d/elpa/?

I cannot reproduce that.  I've tried emacs 28.2 with auctex 13.2.1 (on
GNU/Linux) from ELPA with a sample TeX file also declaring TeX-engine:
omega as a file local property.  The (obsolete) TeX-Omega-mode is
properly activated.

That also works fine for me...  Do you also get that error when starting
a fresh emacs and evaluating (require 'ansi-color) in *scratch* or M-:?
Actually, ansi-color-faces-vector does exist in emacs 28.2 though it is
obsolete.  Do you use that variable somewhere in your configuration?  It
looks a bit like you would use it without requiring ansi-color first...

It's hard to tell what's wrong here.  I'd start by looking at the output
of M-x list-load-path-shadows RET to check if there are obsolete elisp
files on the load-path.  If there aren't, I'd try nuking
~/.emacs.d/elpa/ and reinstalling the packages anew so that they are
byte-compiled again (with emacs 29.1, there's a package-recompile-all
command making that much easier).

I did copy the elpa subdirectory originally. I just nuked it and
reinstalled auctex from the package list screen, and received many messages
of the form

M-x list-load-path-shadows says "No Emacs Lisp load-path shadowings were
found".

I am quite sure, as I suspect you are, that this is a migration problem.
I'm happy to start over, but I thought I had already done that. My Emacs
28.2 is installed via HomeBrew. What would you suggest I try if I want to
wipe all traces from my system and restart it? (BTW, I do not refer to
ansi-color-faces-vector
in my init file, and actually if I remove my init file (rename it) I still
get the same errors.)

Really strange.  What's the value of max-lisp-eval-depth in your emacs?
Here it is 1600 which is the standard value.  AFAICS, it doesn't have
different values on different OSes.

At least there seems to be some systematics here: context-en.el:33 is a
(require 'context) [which in turn requires tex] and bib-cite:590 is
(require 'tex).  But I don't see how that can lead to exceeding
max-lisp-eval-depth...

Good.  (Or rather bad; I've hoped for some easy solvable cause.)

I don't have any knowledge about HomeBrew but I guess you've installed
emacs anew on the new machine rather than copying over the installation
from the old one, right?

What about evaluating (require 'ansi-color) as suggested in my previous
mail?  Does that also lead to an error?  Also with emacs -Q?

And does the auctex load error happen with all tex files (i.e., even
with an empty tex file in a fresh directory)?

Does something change when you start emacs -Q and then do M-x
package-initialize RET before opening some TeX file?

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 2965 bytes --]

So first, apologies for being a moron.

I had an old version of auctex in an Aquamacs directory that was apparently
being used instead, and I had migrated off of Aquamacs and onto Emacs
recently as well. I've removed all files that I can find referring to
Aquamacs from my box. So now that appears to work.

However (and this is a separate problem, but I'd appreciate advice) when I
start an emacs server, I get the message "Invalid image type 'svg'"; the
server crashes but I'm still left with an editable file in the buffer. This
happens with emacs -q as well.

Thanks.

AFAIU, this means that your build of Emacs cannot display SVG images.
Maybe it was not built with librsvg (but I thought the macOS build
used native APIs for that?).

That's still strange.  M-x list-load-path-shadows RET is meant to
uncover exactly this issue.

As Eli said, it appears your emacs has no SVG image support.  You can
check with M-: (image-type-available-p 'svg) RET.  Of course, it would
be interesting to know why emacs wants to display some SVG.  Does M-x
toggle-debug-on-error RET before staring the server reveal who wants to
show the SVG?

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1796 bytes --]

Tassilo,

You are correct; that was not the cause of the problem; I wrote you all too
early. In fact, after lots of experimentation, it appears that if I try to
load-package auctex in a standard emacs server (that is, after loading my
init.el file), things fail as described above, while if I load it in an
emacs -q session, everything works properly. I can definitely reproduce
this behavior. So my environment is now where I want it to be. But if you
want more information (such as my init files), I'm happy to provide it. I'm
also now using 29.1 rc1 to fix the SVG bug.

Thanks,
Roger

Bug that could cause Emacs to say "Invalid image type 'svg'"?

Apparently, yes. See https://emacs.stackexchange.com/questions/74289.

That means, the culprit is in your init file, maybe popping in only in
combination with the emacs server.  To remove the "maybe", does it work
when just starting emacs (with no server but also not with -q)?  Also,
does "emacs --debug-init" show some error?

You want an error when using the server?

Yes, please.

Sorry, poor choice of terminology. What I meant to say was that if I
*install* auctex after loading my init.el file, I get that error in
compilation, while I do not in an emacs -q session. So I've installed
auctex using emacs -q and then everything is fine.

init files attached.

Thanks.  I've skimmed through the inits but couldn't see anything
obviously wrong.  Maybe powerline could be the culprit as it does
extravagant font stuff which might not work when emacs has been started
as server...
