Subject: bug#59256: Emacs-guix tab-completion returns gexp error
Date: Thu, 15 Dec 2022 13:01:13 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <12c37abe-1c21-dc5f-8b0a-6c6f5c6618af@disroot.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <87mt8umrex.fsf@mailbox.org>
The problem can be tracked back from elisp procedure `guix-pcomplete-search-in-help` in guix-pcomplete.el to `guix-help-string` in guix-misc.el, to this problematic code :
```
(guix-eval-read "(help-string )")
```
The procedure help-string exists, as can be seen below :
```
(guix-eval-read
"(begin
(use-modules (ice-9 format))
(format #f \"~s\"
help-string))") ;; => "#<procedure help-string commands>"
```
but the object that `(help-string)` returns seems incompatible with guile's own repl/shell ....
The solution might be to just change the `help-string` procedure to return another kind of object, or to fix guile's repl/shell for that kind of object.
