Completion not working #37

bobheff commented 2024年12月03日 02:34:47 +01:00 (Migrated from gitlab.com)

I am running Emacs 29.4 and Chicken Scheme 5.4 under Arch Linux.

To try and reproduce my problem as simply as possible, I run emacs -Q then evaluate the following:

(require 'package)
(add-to-list 'package-archives '("melpa" . "https://melpa.org/packages/") t)
(package-initialize)
(when (not (package-installed-p 'use-package))
 (package-refresh-contents)
 (package-install 'use-package))
(require 'use-package)
(use-package geiser-chicken
 :ensure t
 :config (setq geiser-chicken-binary "chicken-csi"))

If I then open a scheme file, run a geiser reply and begin typing, e.g. (imp, then press C-M-i to invoke completion-at-point I get the following error: geiser-completion--symbol-list: Wrong type argument: listp, Error:

I have tried removing and re-installing both the geiser and geiser-chicken packages in Emacs, as well as removing and re-installing Chicken. I have followed the instructions for installing geiser-chicken (installing various required eggs, etc.)

This was working for me in the past, but something has evidently changed since I last used geiser/geiser-chicken. I had initially assumed it was a problem with corfu (the completion framework I usually use) but my minimal example above would suggest that it might be something to do with geiser.

Any help appreciated.

I am not getting the same error as you do, but completion does not work for me when I do M-x geiser to start a new chicken repl.

In my case, chicken5.scm does not seem to get loaded as it should.

See also my comment in this issue: https://gitlab.com/emacs-geiser/chicken/-/issues/32

Invoking the load command given there manually as a workaround makes completion work for me.

Actually, manually evaling the Emacs function (geiser-chicken--startup nil) also works.

This function does get called automatically when I start a chicken REPL, but somehow this first invocation does not seem to do the trick. Calling it manually then a second time has an effect.

@bobheff @einsiedlerspiel thanks for giving a minimal emacs config. That was very helpful!

I tried to reproduce the problem using a fresh Arch Linux vagrant VM.

This also gives me: Emacs 29.4 and Chicken Scheme 5.4

I've run: chicken-install -s apropos chicken-doc srfi-18 srfi-1

These are the emacs packages used from MELPA:

 geiser-chicken 20241204.1442 installed Chicken's implementation of the geiser protocols.
 geiser 20240907.2235 dependency GNU Emacs and Scheme talk to each other.

I cannot reproduce your error from above: geiser-completion--symbol-list: Wrong type argument: listp, Error:

So, I assume this was fixed in https://gitlab.com/emacs-geiser/chicken/-/merge_requests/4.

However, completion is not working.

I run M-x geiser to start a chicken REPL. Then I type #;1> (app and type C-M-i.
I get: No match in the message area.

Now I type: M-: and then (geiser-chicken--startup nil) and RET.

When I return to #;1> (app and type C-M-i, I can complete this to #;1> (append.

@bobheff could you try if your original error has gone away and whether you also run into my issue where the chicken5.scm code is not properly loaded automatically?

@p75439 The merge of 5 days ago did fix my issue.

I am not now having the issue you describe. Completion appears to be working fine and evaluating (geiser-chicken--startup nil) does not appear to be required.

I tested this using my minimal config given above.

I can't reproduce this either. Seems like a separate issue to me.
