bug#33141: 27.0.50; TRAMP simplified syntax doesn't work

[Dima Kogan]

Hi.

Currently the simplified TRAMP syntax doesn't work. I'm at a recent
(2018/9/8) build: e4896856172

I do this:

1. emacs -Q
2. (require 'tramp)
3. (tramp-change-syntax 'simplified)
4. I try to open a file with the simplified syntax
   - C-x C-f
   - /localhost:

I see this:

tramp-file-name-handler: Wrong type argument: stringp, ""

Thanks

FWIW, I cannot reproduce this with today's master.

(Do you mean the error message pops up as soon as you type the colon?
If not, what else do you type after the colon?)

Thanks for checking

The error message pops up after I press ENTER, and the open operation
then fails. I can imagine that this was fixed in the last month, so I'll
try the master in a bit.

Thanks.

Oops, yes. I've committed a fix to the master; could you pls check?

Best regards, Michael.

No, it seems to be system-dependent.  I see this on GNU/Linux, but not
on MS-Windows (you didn't show the details of your build, AFAICT).

Hmm, the fix I've committed minutes ago does not depend on the
underlying system. Could you, pls, test in parallel to Dima, that it
works now for you everywhere?

Thanks, and best regards, Michael.

Works on both systems.

Thanks.

It works for me on Debian. Thanks for the lightning-fast response! I'm
closing the bug.
