Subject: perhaps rephrase "misplaced interactive spec"
Date: Thu, 31 Jul 2014 23:06:49 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87mwbputjq.fsf@debian.uxu> (raw)
If have a minor mode (i.e., buffer local) for caps, all
in sweet software [1]. I got it from someone else but I
modified it to auto-reset when one uppercased C
constant or acronym or whatever is typed, so you get
back to non-caps automatically.
I got the following message when otherwise successfully
and without warnings byte-compiling it:
;; caps.el ... Warning: misplaced interactive spec:
;; `(interactive (list (or current-prefix-arg (quote
;; toggle))))'
Turns out, I didn't have a docstring! As in, the second
line of:
(define-minor-mode caps-mode
"Caps on you."
:init-value nil
:lighter " Caps")
After thinking my brains out over this, I see now in
the help that
(define-minor-mode MODE DOC ...
so I wonder why I just didn't get a
wrong-number-of-arguments? That would have instantly
made it clear.
Well, just a suggestion. But I think most people will
have a hard time deciphering that kind of error
message.
