bug#59864: emacs-guix

[Amade Nemes Gmail]

Hello Guix Folks,

I've updated my guix version today and found that most emacs-guix
interactive commands no longer work. For example, guix-packages-by-name throws:

guix-geiser-eval: Error in evaluating guile expression: ice-9/boot-9.scm:1685:16: In procedure raise-exception:
In procedure package-license: Wrong type argument: #<package abduco@0.6 gnu/packages/abduco.scm:28 7f45f9d11f20>

similarly, guix-all-services throws:

guix-geiser-eval: Error in evaluating guile expression: ice-9/boot-9.scm:1685:16: In procedure raise-exception:
In procedure service-type-location: Wrong type argument: #<service-type account 7f45de40d7c0>

finally, guix-installed-system-packages throws:

guix-geiser-eval: Error in evaluating guile expression: ice-9/boot-9.scm:1685:16: In procedure raise-exception:
In procedure manifest-entry-name: Wrong type argument: #<<manifest-entry> name: "nss-certs" version: "3.81" output: "out" item: "/gnu/store/1klwvqm3njp070h982ydcix1gzf2zmdl-nss-certs-3.81" dependencies: () search-paths: () parent: #<promise #<procedure 7f45f99873c8 at guix/profiles.scm:576:57 ()>> properties: ()>

My guix version if following:

$ guix describe
Generation 18	Dec 06 2022 14:13:59	(current)
  guix 4413512
    repository URL: https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/guix.git
    branch: master
    commit: 44135122930c8175c6a7a1b4af5b3604bbf73bf6

I haven't made any modifications to the standard configuration of
emacs-guix. Thanks for your work!

Best,
Amade

I think this is caused by an ABI incompatibility: the ‘guix’ package is
currently at 1.4.0rc1, which doesn’t have the change made in:

  https://issues.guix.gnu.org/59390

However, current ‘master’ does have this change.

The ‘emacs-guix’ package is built against the ‘guix’ package; it has
inlined calls like (package-name p) to something like:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
scheme@(guile-user)> ,optimize (package-name p)
$8 = (let ((s p))
  (if (eq? (struct-vtable s)
           (@@ (guix packages) <package>))
    (struct-ref s 0)
    (throw 'wrong-type-arg
           'package-name
           "Wrong type argument: ~S"
           (list s)
           (list s))))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

But on ‘master’, <package> is a macro, not a record type descriptor;
thus, the (eq? …) expression is always false.

I’ll fix this by upgrading the ‘guix’ package and/or merging the (guix
records) bit in the ‘version-1.4.0’ branch.

Thanks,
Ludo’.

Hi Ludo,

Thanks for the quick reply! Unfortunately I'm still getting the same
errors after pulling in the latest guix. Here's my emacs-guix package:

As you can see it's depending on the updated guix@1.4.0rc1-1.9ccc94a,
however the errors persist. Let me know I've misunderstood something,
still quite new to guix:)

Best,
Amade

False alarm, is working correctly today. Not sure why it was not working
previously. I guess I skipped the tried and tested "have you tried
turning it off and on again?" troubleshooting step:)
