Hi,

sorry if I had already reported this and a fix is on the way.  Or had it
been fixed and has reappeared, or even my fault this time?

I'm doing something like

  (debbugs-gnu-search "debbugs" '((subject . "debbugs")) nil nil nil)

and when I hit RET over a bug's line I get this error:

| Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument integer-or-marker-p nil)

Annoying.  When I had started Gnus before, this doesn't happen.

TIA,

Michael.

I think this should be fixed on the trunk now -- can you check?

Ok, thanks.  Yes, good, though, now I get (deja vu again):

I have

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(defalias 'gnus-user-format-function-M
  'gnus-registry-article-marks-to-chars)
#+end_src

and am using it in `gnus-summary-line-format'.  Can you reproduce that
problem?


Thanks,

Michael.

Yes, we've been here before, in bug 36903, and commit a81223aeaa...

Oh hang on, it looks like that took me several tries to get right,
in a81223aeaa, 87b7c06958, a34216351f, and then finally ae76ce57cf, in
which it looks like I was confident that checking
`gnus-registry-enabled' was sufficient to ensure that the registry was
actually an object. Give me a second to figure out why that's not true.

Ok, please keep me informed :-)

It was embarrassing.

So it's pretty clear: `gnus-registry-initialize' in effect looks like
this:

(defun gnus-registry-initialize ()
  (gnus-registry-install-hooks) -> (setq gnus-registry-enabled t)
  (if (gnus-alive-p)
      (gnus-registry-load)
    (add-hook 'gnus-read-newsrc-el-hook #'gnus-registry-load)))

So in your case `gnus-registry-enabled' is set to t, but then
`gnus-registry-load' is never called (because Gnus is neither alive, nor
loaded later).

I suppose it's still reasonable to set `gnus-registry-enabled' in this
way -- the registry is, in fact, "enabled", it simply hasn't gotten
loaded (the naming problem again!). Perhaps the formatting functions
should go back to the earlier, more explicit check of `eieio-object-p'.

Bleagh.

Eric

This was almost a year ago -- is this still failing?

Yes, it still bugs me all the time.

Right.  Eric, could you have a look at this again?

I can switch the test to be something more explicit, but how about --
bear with me here -- making `gnus-summary-line-format' a group
parameter? It's something I've been thinking about for a while. It would
be really nice to be able to give different groups different summary
appearances. And it would allow Michael and everyone else to use a
separate format string for groups like debbugs or whatnot, that are
often opened without Gnus actually being running.

WDYT?

I have no strong opinion, but - why not, could be useful.  I don't think
this will spare a fix for this issue though.  Because, AFAIR this
registry -> nil thing has several reincarnations in debbugs.

But we could probably provide a default option value for debbugs groups,
so that most users wouldn't even realize that they had a different
format value for those groups.

Uhm...  I think it sounds like a surprising feature.  People set that
variable from hooks, I think, and I think that's fine without getting
group parameters involved.

And I'm rather doubtful that this will fix the problems Michael are
experiencing.

Huh, that's odd, and something I hadn't considered. I wonder if the
hooks would end up running after the group parameter setting. If so, I
don't see why current configurations wouldn't simply continue to work as
they have.

In debbugs groups or what have you, he would use a summary line format
that didn't include registry-specific functions, only data that was
available by default in the summary buffer.

This happens to me with the default summary line setting:

Guess I didn't refresh my memory as fully as I thought! I was still
remembering this as a summary-line-format issue. I've pushed an
additional guard onto `gnus-registry-register-message-ids', I expect
this will fix it.

Works for me, thanks!

Of course the `gnus-registry-article-marks-to-chars' (and the such)
problem remains.

Wouldn't it make sense to replace the `gnus-registry-enabled' checks
with a function call (gnus-registry-enabled-p) that would not only check
the variable but also the existence of the database, just like in your
installed patch?

TIA,

Michael.

Okay, dang it, here we go. Having thought about it, it seems like the
solutions might be simpler than I thought. `gnus-registry-initialize'
looks like this:

(defun gnus-registry-initialize ()
  "Initialize the Gnus registry."
  (interactive)
  (gnus-message 5 "Initializing the registry")
  (gnus-registry-install-hooks) => sets gnus-registry-enabled = t
  (gnus-registry-install-shortcuts)
  (if (gnus-alive-p)
      (gnus-registry-load)
    (add-hook 'gnus-read-newsrc-el-hook #'gnus-registry-load)))

It makes no sense to set `gnus-registry-enabled' to t when we haven't
fully loaded the registry. How about we move
`gnus-registry-install-hooks' and `gnus-registry-install-shortcuts' into
`gnus-registry-load', after the actual loading, a la the attached patch?
Does this solve the problems you're seeing?

Eric

I can't tell whether your solution is appropriate but it indeed seems to
fix my problem!  I'll leave your patch installed and report back should
I see any downside.

Thanks,

Michael.

Great, thanks. I can't imagine any downside, since the code is still
guaranteed to run, and the flag is set only if the initialization is
completed. Even if you weren't seeing erroneous behavior, I would still
think this was an appropriate refactor.

But yes, let's let it sit for a bit and see.

I looked back over the code and made some more rearrangements, I hope
really protecting various state variables behind the successful loading
of the registry. Please re-open if I've gotten anything wrong.

Thanks,
Eric

In hindsight, there didn't need to be a `gnus-registry-enabled' boolean,
we should have just been checking the existence of `gnus-registry-db',
but I think it's too late to remove that boolean now.

It's not used so often.  And it makes things unnecessarily mixed-up.  My
gut feeling says you should give it a try.

Anyway, thanks for fixing this bug.

Michael.

Hmm, I suppose an obsolete variable alias wouldn't hurt, I doubt
anyone's trying to do anything with `gnus-registry-enabled' besides
checking it for truthiness.

Yes - preferably with a mention of what to use instead (which will
anyway be more likely what the user really wants, I guess).

Regards,

Michael.
