emacs-guix throwing errors

emacs-guix throwing errors

[Brett Gilio]

Hi all. I am hoping the maintainer of emacs-guix will see this:

Whenever I try to search for a package, or perform any of the routine
guix commands using the emacs-guix interface, I am getting this error.

guix-geiser-eval: Error in evaluating guile expression: ERROR: In procedure string-append:
In procedure string-append: Wrong type (expecting string):
#<<search-path-specification> variable: "GHC_PACKAGE_PATH" files:
("lib/ghc-8.0.2") separator: ":" file-type: directory file-pattern:
".*\\.conf\\.d$">

The specifics of the string seem to change based on what I am trying to
do, but regardless it does not work and I have to perform those commands
using the command line.

Any ideas?

No ideas currently, but could you please switch to *Guix Internal REPL*
buffer, run ",bt" command there and show its output.  Thanks.

Hi Alex,

Here is the backtrace for doing a regexp search for 'emacs'

scheme@(emacs-guix)> ,bt

The backtrace seems to change depending on what I search, here is one 
for regexp 'python'

I can reproduce this on a fresh install with no emacs configuration. Is 
anybody else experiencing this issue?

Sorry, I'm afraid I don't know what causes this error.  I hope I will
face this bug soon, so that I could figure it out.  Maybe it happens
only to people who installed "ghc" package (as the error says about
GHC_PACKAGE_PATH variable), I don't know :-(

Hey Alex, I think I mentioned earlier that I can replicate this bug on a fresh install of Guix. Only installing Emacs and emacs-guix to my profile. Can you see if you can replicate it that way?Sent from my Sprint Phone.------ Original message------From: Alex KostDate: Sun, Apr 7, 2019 11:28 AMTo: brettg@posteo.net;Cc: help-guix;Subject:Re: emacs-guix throwing errorsbrettg@posteo.net (2019-04-06 02:59 +0200) wrote:

I think this may be due to the ABI change in commit
154f1f0937754fafac0c6288dd458b66b332e6bb and the one before.

Commit 6624df5bb91bdd5c2e2c27834576d1e521369631 updates ‘guix’, against
which ‘emacs-guix’ is built, so perhaps if you install ‘emacs-guix’ now
that issue is gone.  Could you give it a try?

Thanks,
Ludo’.

No, I don't reproduce it, sorry.  Perhaps you have not run "guix pull"
for a long time (?).  If so, this may be a problem if emacs-guix is
compiled with a "fresh" guix and is used with an older guix.

BTW, are you on Guix System or do you use guix package manager on a
foreign system?

Hey Alex, I believe the issue was fixed with Ludo rebuilding after the
Guix ABI change.

I forgot to reply to Ludo to tell him that fixed the issue.
