Subject: bug#51576: 27.2; Bad error message for `defface' with no doc string
Date: Wed, 3 Nov 2021 02:30:09 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <SJ0PR10MB5488F27041DC936961E56BF7F38C9@SJ0PR10MB5488.namprd10.prod.outlook.com> (raw)

emacs -Q

Eval this:

(defface foo '((t :background "gray70" :inherit region))
  :group 'faces :type 'sexp)

Instead of telling you the doc string is missing, the error message says
this:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "Unknown keyword faces")
  signal(error ("Unknown keyword faces"))
  error("Unknown keyword %s" faces)
  custom-handle-keyword(foo faces :type custom-face)
  custom-handle-all-keywords(foo (faces :type sexp) custom-face)
  custom-declare-face(foo ((t :background "gray70" :inherit region)) :group faces :type sexp)
  eval-region(146 231 t #f(compiled-function (ignore) #<bytecode 0x2293dd9>))  ; Reading at buffer position 151
  elisp--eval-defun()
  eval-defun(nil)
  funcall-interactively(eval-defun nil)
  call-interactively(eval-defun nil nil)
  command-execute(eval-defun)
