Dear emacs developers, if emacs is started as a named daemon
like this: `emacs --damon=foo' or like this:
`emacsclient -a "" -s foo [...]' the variable `server-name'
is initialized with the name "foo" but too late to be used
in init.el:
Warning (initialization): An error occurred while loading ´/home/grfz/.config/emacs/init.el´:
Symbol's value as variable is void: server-name
It would be helpful if `server-name' would be initialized
early enough to be used in init.el in order to enable
conditional configuration of the server, depending on it's
name.
Thanks for your attention, Gregor

Doesn't this just depend on when you call `server-start'?
Do you have a recipe for reproducing this?

When emacs is started with emacs --daemon=foo (or
emacsclinet -a "" -s foo [...]) one does not use
`server-start'.

Have
(when (equal server-name "foo") (message "My name is foo!"))
in .emacs and start emacs with emacs --daemon=foo

You should (require 'server) before referring to server-name. None of the
defcustoms in server.el are autoloaded.

thanks. Requiring server prevents this error, but `server-name'
is not set to the command line value, though:
~$ cat ~/.emacs
(require 'server)
(when (equal server-name "foo") (setq greeting "My name is foo!"))
~$ emacsclient -a "" -s foo --eval '(message greeting)'
emacsclient: Should XDG_RUNTIME_DIR='/run/user/1000' be in the environment?
emacsclient: (Be careful: XDG_RUNTIME_DIR is security-related.)
emacsclient: can't find socket; have you started the server?
emacsclient: To start the server in Emacs, type "M-x server-start".
Starting Emacs daemon.
Emacs daemon should have started, trying to connect again
*ERROR*: Symbol's value as variable is void: greeting

Whatever you do that you need server-name for, can't you do that in
emacs-startup-hook? AFAIR, that gets called after the daemon already
finished its initialization and provided its name to Emacs, so
server-name should be already populated.

the idea is to initialise the emacs daemon depending on it's
server-name. Therefore doing it via emacs-startup-hook is
somewhat counter-intuitive
But you are right that works. Thanks.

Sorry, I don't think I follow: what has intuition got to do with this?
And what do you mean by "initialise the emacs daemon"? -- that happens
out of your control, in the internal Emacs code.
> But you are right that works. Thanks.
So does this mean your problem is solved?
