--text follows this line--

If I have buffer like this:

Foo \cite{bar} bar.

And press `M-q` I get error:

LaTeX-indent-calculate-last: Wrong type argument: stringp, nil

It seems you're running AUCTeX as major-mode and not the builtin one.
Which version of AUCTeX are you using and how did you install it?

At any rate, I can't reproduce what you describe with this small file:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
\documentclass{article}

\begin{document}

Foo \cite{bar} bar.! Point here hitting M-q

\end{document}

%%% Local Variables:
%%% mode: LaTeX
%%% TeX-master: t
%%% End:
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Can you come up with a recipe to reproduce with:

• Start Emacs with 'emacs -Q'
• Activate AUCTeX by eval'ing this in scratch (presuming you've
  installed AUCTeX from ELPA):
    (progn
      (setq debug-on-error t)
      (package-initialize t)
      (package-activate 'auctex))
• In the file above (or any other example), tell us exactly where to put
  the cursor before hitting 'M-q'
• Show what the debugger says in your case.

Best, Arash

Arash, thanks for response. I do have auctex 14.0.6 installed via ELPA. 
I tried to reproce the problem starting from `emacs -Q` and it did not 
reproduce. With my default setup it's still happening with the following 
debug trace:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument stringp nil)
   LaTeX-indent-level-count()
   LaTeX-indent-calculate-last(outer)
   LaTeX-indent-calculate(outer)
   LaTeX-indent-line()
   indent-according-to-mode()
   LaTeX-fill-region-as-para-do(3960 #<marker at 4117 in paper.tex> nil)
   LaTeX-fill-region-as-paragraph(3960 4117 nil)
   LaTeX-fill-paragraph(nil)
   fill-paragraph(nil t)
   funcall-interactively(fill-paragraph nil t)
   command-execute(fill-paragraph)

LaTeX-indent-level-count is defined `latex.el` from acutex package. Any 
thoughts what could be causing it and what I can try to diagnose it further?

Thanks!

Vadim

You're welcome.  The above essentially says that AUCTeX isn't the
culprit per se since it works with the standard setup.

Thanks for the debug info, I have no idea why this happens in your
setup, so you have to dig further.  Some general ideas are:

• With your setup and your .tex file opened, do 'M-x
  list-load-path-shadows RET' and see if you have a stale AUCTeX
  installation on your HD; maybe you search also your HD yourself
• With your setup, load your .tex file, instrument[1] the function
  `LaTeX-indent-level-count' and trigger the issue.  Watch the function
  running[2] and where it chokes, maybe that helps
• Bisect your packages you load with AUCTeX and see which one breaks
  with your .tex file
• Just be on the safe side, uninstall AUCTeX via package manager
  interface, restart Emacs, and install AUCTeX again via the package
  manager interface.

HTH.  Best, Arash

Removing the following from my .emacs fixed the problem:


(use-package latex-extra

   :ensure t

   :hook (LaTeX-mode . latex-extra-mode))

Thanks for reporting back.  Maybe you want to report the issue to
latex-extra tracker[1].

I'm closing this report here since it's not an AUCTeX bug.

I cannot reproduce this in "emacs -Q", and I see no function named
LaTeX-indent-calculate-last anywhere in Emacs.  I suspect this comes
from some add-on package you have installed.
