Executing from the command line: emacsclient -c file.txt displays a quick momentary frame that disappears and shows on the command line: $ emacsclient -c file.txt emacsclient: can't find socket; have you started the server? To start the server in Emacs, type "M-x server-start". Waiting for Emacs... *ERROR*: Wrong type argument: stringp, nil $ To try to track down why this was happening I "spoke" the Emacs server protocol to the Emacs daemon, created a GUI frame and enabled "debug-on-error" and server logging. Trying to connect again using "emacsclient -c", I see again a momentary newly-created frame that quickly disappears and I see in the " *server*" buffer (from my previously-created frame of the Daemon): Thu Mar 30 06:43:33 2017 server <127.0.0.1:44966>: Status changed to open: open from 127.0.0.1 Thu Mar 30 06:43:33 2017 server <127.0.0.1:44966>: server-delete-client Thu Mar 30 06:43:33 2017 server <127.0.0.1:44966>: Received -auth -env TERM=xterm-256color [...] -dir /home/liveuser/ -display :0 -tty /dev/pts/1 xterm-256color -window-system -file file.txt Thu Mar 30 06:43:33 2017 server <127.0.0.1:44966>: Authentication successful Thu Mar 30 06:43:33 2017 server <127.0.0.1:44966>: Sent -emacs-pid 10797 Thu Mar 30 06:43:33 2017 server <127.0.0.1:44966>: New file: /home/liveuser/file.txt Thu Mar 30 06:43:33 2017 server <127.0.0.1:44966>: # created Thu Mar 30 06:43:33 2017 server <127.0.0.1:44966>: Sent -error Wrong&_type&_argument:&_stringp,&_nil Thu Mar 30 06:43:33 2017 server <127.0.0.1:44966>: Wrong type argument: stringp, nil Thu Mar 30 06:43:33 2017 server <127.0.0.1:44966>: Status changed to closed: connection broken by remote peer Thu Mar 30 06:43:33 2017 server <127.0.0.1:44966>: server-delete-client Thu Mar 30 06:43:33 2017 server <127.0.0.1:44966>: Deleted There's nothing new in the *Messages* buffer except: Debug on Error enabled globally Executing "emacsclient -t" yields the same error results.

So a couple of questions this raise for me: What is different about using "--no-wait" with emacsclient that one is able to get past invocation errors (and at least get a new frame) that you can't get without "--no-wait"? What is the cause of the "stringp" error and why doesn't "debug-on-error" give further diagnostics on its cause? The " *server*" buffer logging information appears to show the correct passing of the protocol parameters so what is the argument(s) that the Emacs server belives is nil or missing? Although the new frame popped up (ONLY when using "--no-wait"), why didn't the specified buffer/window get created? This just started happening about 4 hours ago although my "emacs --daemon" has been up for 3 days with frequent use in that timespan. How cam I track these errors down? I can leave the Emacs daemon up for a while. Thanks.
