`(void-variable \.\.\.)` #36

lebensterben · 2022-08-15T06:04:49Z

void-variable error while calling (unicode-fonts-setup).

This happens on Emacs startup.

Very interestingly:

It only happens recently for unknown reason. (There's no Emacs upgrade or unicode-fonts package upgrade)
Even if I try to M-x unicode-fonts-setup, it may fail with the same error a few times before it succeed. It seems that the result of running this command is non-deterministic.

Below is the backtrace:

Hi!

Very interestingly:

Indeed, this is a fascinating error. It would seem that the ... elisions in an error message are being evaluated. The string ... occurs nowhere in the unicode-fonts repo.

For example, zeroing in on this snippet:

(defvar use-package--warning379 #'(lambda (keyword err) (let ((msg (format "%s/%s: %s" ... keyword ...))) (display-warning 'use-package msg :error))))

try this:

ESC : (format "%s/%s: %s" ... keyword ...) RET

to duplicate the error

(void-variable \.\.\.)

rolandwalker · 2022-08-15T13:26:54Z

I realize the version of Emacs did not change recently, but what version is it?

lebensterben · 2022-08-15T15:26:55Z

It's Emacs 28.1.

rolandwalker · 2022-08-16T11:41:45Z

Scrolling to the right I now notice the \.\.\. as an argument to set-fontest-font.

  (progn (set-fontset-font "fontset-default" nil (font-spec :name "Symbola:" :registry "iso10646-1")) (set-fontset-font "fontset-default" nil (font-spec :name "Quivira:" :registry "iso10646-1") nil 'append) (set-fontset-font "fontset-default" '(65792 . 65855) (font-spec :name "Noto Sans Symbols:" :registry "iso10646-1")) (set-fontset-font "fontset-default" '(65792 . 65855) (font-spec :name "Symbola:" :registry "iso10646-1") nil 'append) (set-fontset-font "fontset-default" '(65792 . 65855) (font-spec :name "Quivira:" :registry "iso10646-1") nil 'append) (set-fontset-font "fontset-default" '(128768 . 128895) (font-spec :name "Noto Sans Symbols:" :registry "iso10646-1")) (set-fontset-font "fontset-default" '(128768 . 128895) (font-spec :name "Symbola:" :registry "iso10646-1") nil 'append) (set-fontset-font "fontset-default" '(128768 . 128895) (font-spec :name "Quivira:" :registry "iso10646-1") nil 'append) (set-fontset-font "fontset-default" '(64256 . 64335) (font-spec :name "DejaVu Sans:width=condensed:" :registry "iso10646-1")) \.\.\.)

28.1 makes sense because I have a hazy suspicion this is an interaction with native compilation.

rolandwalker · 2022-08-16T13:32:16Z

Couple of things that would be interesting to do. If you have rg installed it would be simple to search for the \.\.\. string in your ~/.emacs.d directory:

cd ~/.emacs.d
rg -l '\\\.\\\.\\\.'

And you might also try turning off unicode-fonts-use-persistent-storage in customize as a test. That makes startup slower. But the cache may be where the \.\.\. are hiding.

lebensterben · 2022-08-16T19:31:20Z

@rolandwalker

Inside ~/.emacs.d/elpa,

𝛌> rg '\\\.\\\.\\\.'
28.1/develop/rtags-20211101.2149/rtags.el
3328:          ((string-match "\.\.\." str)

The problem seems to has disappeared after I rebooted my system...

NightMachinery · 2022-12-03T04:24:56Z

I also have this issue. The variable unicode-fonts--instructions contains these \... symbols.

unicode-fonts--instructions is a variable defined in unicode-fonts.el.

By deleting ~/.emacs.d/.local/cache/pcache/ and restarting emacs, I fixed the issue. I had to do this twice though, the first time the problematic file was just recreated.

NightMachinery · 2022-12-03T04:34:46Z

Perhaps this package should be installed with the native compilation disabled? (You can mention this in the readme as a warning.)

eatse21 · 2022-12-08T11:34:04Z

Hi,
I also had the same issue on Emacs 28.2 with native compilation, and I also fixed the issue by deleting the pcache/unicode-fonts file.
I wasn't able to reproduce the issue when debugging the regeneration, but this is what I can share to you :

This is the diff between the old problematic cache and the new working one.

In the bad file, the function generating instructions-f:… data was just able to generate ~10 fonts before stopping the list and adding the problematic \.\.\. at the end.
In the new one, there are no less than 256 fonts (truncated in the diff)

Maybe this can help

zeroDivisible · 2022-12-08T16:21:45Z

Small note that #36 (comment) fixed the issue for me too. Thanks for that.

rolandwalker · 2022-12-08T19:32:06Z

Looking at this. Great feedback. Maybe https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/elisp/Declare-Form.html in the right spot.

taquangtrung · 2023-05-29T17:53:20Z

I'm using Doom Emacs and the issue of ... is caused by the setting that print-length is set to a non-nil value.

https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/elisp/Output-Variables.html#index-print_002dlength

Setting it to nil will resolve the issue:

(setq print-length nil)

Seems to be a common issue, and unlikely to see a fix, unless unicode-fonts gets a new maintainer. Ref: rolandwalker/unicode-fonts#36 Ref: #7164

zardoz03 · 2023-09-25T22:13:51Z

I seem to have fixed it in #38,where I filter non-cons objects before the eval

zardoz03 · 2023-09-25T22:20:11Z

also @taquangtrung , setq print-length doesn't fix the problem on my end on 29.1. it doesn't change even with deleting the file and setting it.

nameiwillforget · 2024-08-29T12:36:33Z

I started having the same issue a few weeks ago on Emacs 31.0.50, tested just this day as occurring even if I start Emacs without an init and reinstalled unicode-fonts from MELPA. Deleting pcache/unicode-fonts seems to have solved it, but the exact path was ~/.emacs.d/var/pcache.
