bug#24098: 25.1; Auto complete not working

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 6265 bytes --]

This happens in any mode, but basically auto complete does not work.
It sort of works the first time I use it when I load Emacs but after
that I get this error:

Error during redisplay: (eval (list (tree-buffer-spec->sticky-indent-string
tree-buffer-spec) (tree-buffer-stickynode-fetch-stickyline))) signaled
(wrong-type-argument number-or-marker-p nil) [2 times]
Error running timer ‘ac-show-menu’: (wrong-number-of-arguments setq 1)
auto-complete error: (wrong-number-of-arguments setq 1)

And after that it never works again.

Look into your customizations, particularly something that activates
the tree-buffer feature (which AFAIK is not part of Emacs).

The first line seems to be related with Emacs Code Browser,so
I decided to M-x ecb-deactivate and then restart Emacs without
Emacs Code Browser at all.

This was the output of my *Messages* buffer as I tried to autocomplete.

No more tree-buffer errors but auto-complete still not working. I think you
should just ignore the first line of output in the original bug report.

Hi David,

Could you provide a recipe to reproduce this issue starting with a fresh
Emacs session with `Emacs -Q'?

Cheers,
Nico

Looks like auto-complete code is hitting this change:

* Incompatible Lisp Changes in Emacs 25.1

---
** 'setq' and 'setf' must now be called with an even number of
arguments.  The earlier behavior of silently supplying a nil to the
last variable when there was an odd number of arguments has been
eliminated.

Haven't followed this thread, and haven't checked the code to
see how this is handled.  But isn't an error raised in such a
way that it is clear what happened?  Why wasn't it clear to the
OP what the problem was?

The next suspect is this:

> Error running timer ‘ac-show-menu’: (wrong-number-of-arguments setq 1)
> auto-complete error: (wrong-number-of-arguments setq 1)

which is also not part of Emacs.

Hi,

> auto-complete error: (wrong-number-of-arguments setq 1)

This is fixed in auto-complete v1.5.1, see

https://github.com/auto-complete/auto-complete/commit/8d3db89eaaaebf31cca574216e630f64e5e28c5f

Please try a newer version of auto-complete.
