I have a long-standing customization to ffap-file-finder which offers
external applications depending on file extension that is broken by the
following commit:
commit 253b36bd40d1b342cdda09b0bee183788120f67e
Author: dickmao <none>
Date: Tue Aug 3 12:02:48 2021 -0400
ffap ido accommodation
Now that ffap-file-finder can be ido-find-file, the
noninteractive portion of find-file-at-point cannot
assume ffap-file-finder always takes an argument
(ido-find-file does not).
* lisp/ffap.el (find-file-at-point): Do not call ffap-file-finder.
* test/lisp/ffap-tests.el (ffap-ido-mode): Test it.
The essence of the change is that it does find-file at the critical
point instead of funcalling ffap-file-finder. I assume that breaking
such extensions was not the intent, as it is an incompatible change to a
defcustom variable, and there is no associated NEWS entry.

I really do want to resolve this issue, but I just moved my family across the continent, and have barely had time to think for months now.

Great! Having finally gotten around to investigating this properly, I find that the solution should have been obvious: dickmao removed the feature in the following commit: commit 253b36bd40d1b342cdda09b0bee183788120f67e Author: dickmao <none> Date: Tue Aug 3 12:02:48 2021 -0400 ffap ido accommodation Now that ffap-file-finder can be ido-find-file, the noninteractive portion of find-file-at-point cannot assume ffap-file-finder always takes an argument (ido-find-file does not). * lisp/ffap.el (find-file-at-point): Do not call ffap-file-finder. * test/lisp/ffap-tests.el (ffap-ido-mode): Test it. I no longer understand why we thought it could not be reproduced in "emacs -Q", as I can do so with the following code: (defun rgr-ffap-file-finder (file-name &optional wildcards) (interactive "FFind file: \np") (message "[got %S]" file-name) (find-file file-name wildcards)) (setq ffap-file-finder 'rgr-ffap-file-finder) and this recipe: 1. "emacs -Q" 2. Load the code above. 3. Locate a suitable file in dired (I used a JPEG). 4. Position point on the file name, and do "M-x ffap". The JPEG will appear in emacs but the "[got ...]" message will not appear. Additionally, find-file-at-point can be instrumented with the patch below. That will identify the exact find-file call being used, and is how I traced it to this commit. But of course resolving my issue without breaking dickmao's issue is beyond my pay grade. ;-} Though I do notice that ffap.el already has (memq ffap-file-finder '(find-file find-alternate-file)) as a way of testing for arg-handling capability. But maybe that's enough of a code smell. -- Bob ------------------------------------------------------------------------ diff --git a/lisp/ffap.el b/lisp/ffap.el index 88b4bce9fd..a4dec5e792 100644 --- a/lisp/ffap.el +++ b/lisp/ffap.el @@ -1623,6 +1623,7 @@ find-file-at-point ((or (not ffap-newfile-prompt) (file-exists-p filename) (y-or-n-p "File does not exist, create buffer?
