Emacs stuck in failed state after straight-pull-recipe-repositories #1089

dadinn · 2023-05-18T16:11:05Z

What's wrong

I've tried to install vertico-prescient package, which fails, and the error recommended that I update my straight repos using straight-pull-recipe-repositories. When I did this, and restarted Emacs, it failed to load and finish init. I've not even got to trying to install vertico-prescient itself.

The error (with stacktrace) when starting Emacs with --debug-init:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument stringp afternoon-theme)

After this Emacs is completely bricked, and I have to remove the straight/build and straight/repos directories, and download and recompile all packages again.

After this Emacs is completely bricked, and I have to remove the straight/build and straight/repos directories, and download and recompile all packages again.

You should be able to start Emacs sans your config from the command line via emacs -q.
Please try that and then do the following:

Open straight.el's main file (usually located at $HOME/.emacs.d/straight/repos/straight.el/straight.el)
M-x eval-buffer in the straight.el buffer.
Please share the output of M-x straight-version.

I suspect you are running an older version of straight.el which does not account for the change in NonGNU's recipe format:

6848c14

If that is the case, updating straight.el should fix the issue.

I've updated straight.el to 8753008.

Now Emacs loads fine, but vertico-prescient still doesn't work, as I get the error:
Error (use-package): Cannot load vertico-prescient

Perhaps your recipe repositories need to be updated?
I would try M-x straight-pull-recipe-repositories, then M-x straight-use-package vertico-prescient.
If that doesn't work, please evaulate the test case from above in you *scratch* buffer.
It will install straight in a temporary test environment and pop up a *straight-bug-report* buffer when the test is complete. Share the contents of the buffer here.

dadinn · 2023-06-10T22:11:25Z

If I try to execute the test in the *scratch* buffer I get an error Buffer *straight-bug-report-process* does not visit a file.

I've also tried starting Emacs with emacs -q command, opening and evaluating the straight.el buffer with eval-buffer, but nothing seems to happen.

progfolio · 2023-06-10T22:22:45Z

If I try to execute the test in the scratch buffer I get an error Buffer straight-bug-report-process does not visit a file.

Please ensure debug-on-error is non-nil (you can do this with M-x toggle-debug-on-error) and try evaluating the test again. Copy the whole backtrace buffer contents here. You'll likely need to expand any ellipses in the backtrace buffer first. Typing "." should do that.

dadinn · 2023-06-11T12:39:48Z

debug-on-error is t, after turning it on with toggle-debug-on-error. Yet when executing the test it doesn't enter the debugger, and shows the same error. Actually, realised there is a flash of another message before, shown in the *Messages* buffer:

Testing straight.el in directory: /tmp/straight.vertico-prescient
"Testing straight.el in directory: /tmp/straight.vertico-prescient"
user-error: Buffer *straight-bug-report-process* does not visit a file

dadinn · 2023-06-11T12:42:43Z

Just realised, your Emacs version is 30.0.50. Mine is only 27.1.
Debian Bullseye... conservativism...

progfolio · 2023-06-11T13:33:36Z

debug-on-error is t, after turning it on with toggle-debug-on-error. Yet when executing the test it doesn't enter the debugger, and shows the same error.

Where is this error displayed?

If no backtrace buffer shows up, the next step would be to step through the expanded macro w edebug. You can get the expansion by evaluating:

(let (print-length print-circle)
  (macroexpand
   '(straight-bug-report
    :user-dir "straight.vertico-prescient"
    :post-bootstrap 
    (straight-use-package 'vertico-prescient))))

Copy the output to the scratch buffer.
Then execute C-u M-x eval-defun.
That should start evaluating the expression in edebug. Typing n will step through each expression being evaluated and show the result. It should show where that error is being signaled.

The macro expands for me to this:

And edebug seems to say the issue is with the (append ... ...) part:

And edebug seems to say the issue is with the (append ... ...) part:

That's odd. The print-level should be let-bound to nil here.
Try evaluating the following in your *scratch* buffer and then evaluating the test case:

(setq print-level nil
      print-length nil
      eval-expression-print-length nil
      eval-expression-print-level nil)

valignatev · 2023-07-14T13:02:04Z

I have exactly the same issue: Error (use-package): Cannot load vertico-prescient

funnily enough, m-x straight-version errors out with wrong type argument stringp. The straight commit I'm on is 039e5c9a9b5c00749602afb41341e9e77ba09429.
emacs-version is 29.0.60

here's output of straight-bug-report from the scratch buffer:

@valignatev:

The straight commit I'm on is 039e5c9.

Please update straight.el to the latest commit and see if that works for you.

valignatev · 2023-07-15T15:34:09Z

Ok made sure I'm on the last commit (ff63b15) No difference, unfortunately, still can't load just this one package

progfolio · 2023-07-15T15:51:34Z

@valignatev please share your init file.
It looks like the package installed correctly for you in the test environment.

valignatev · 2023-07-15T16:48:29Z

https://github.com/valignatev/dotemacs/blob/master/init.el

here it is. I installed orderless + set up savehist to compensate for prescient

progfolio · 2023-07-15T17:30:22Z

https://github.com/valignatev/dotemacs/blob/master/init.el

here it is. I installed orderless + set up savehist to compensate for prescient

Thanks. I uncommented the presciient/vertico-prescient declarations and everything installed fine for me. I would try a completely clean install (delete the eln-cache, straight directory, everything installed as a result of bootstrapping) and see if that works. Unfortunately, I can't give much more help than that considering I'm unable to reproduce the problem.

valignatev · 2023-07-15T19:46:31Z

I see, I see, thanks for the help anyway! Weird that it's only one package. If orderless + savehist didn't satisfy me as a replacement, I'll try to wipe everything and reinstall it. Thanks again for your time!
