gptel-menu gives error

[ankitf]

gtel version - v0.9.0

transient-setup: Wrong type argument: (or eieio-object cl-structure-object oclosure), ""

[karthink]

How did you install gptel?

[DouwMarx]

I have the same issue. My gptel-menu is no longer working with -v0.9.0.

I use spacemacs and included gptel in dotspacemacs-additional-packages as stated in gptel readme. My understanding is that this installs gptel from MELPA? Thanks.

Can you produce a backtrace? M-x toggle-debug-on-error and produce the error.

How did you install gptel?

I installed it using straight use package. Here is the installation excerpt from my config.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (use-package gptel
	:straight t	
   ) 
#+end_src

What is the version of transient you're using? To find it you can run M-x find-library, transient, then look at the header:

;; Package-Version: 0.6.0

[0x715C]

;; Package-Version: 0.7.3

Running gptel-menu in emacs 29.4 with gptel v0.8.6 and emacs-transient v0.7.3 works fine. gptel v0.9.0 gives the error.

[ankitf]

Transient,

;; Package-Version: 0.4.1

I updated transient to 0.7.3. Gives the same error.

[ankitf]

I updated transient to version 0.7.3, which caused numerous errors in both Magit and Dirvish. Hence, I decided to do a fresh installation of all the straight packages (it's been 3 years since I updated the packages).

After the fresh installation, transient is at version 0.7.3. and gptel-menu works just fine now. All the errors of magit and dirvish are also resolved. Thanks for looking into it. @karthink

@0x715C Thanks for pinpointing the commit, I can see what's causing the error now. It's the use of :pad-keys with the empty line "" here. But I'm not sure why yet.

@ankitf You're using Transient 0.7.3 now (same as @0x715C) but don't experience this issue any more? That's puzzling.

[0x715C]

@0x715C Thanks for pinpointing the commit, I can see what's causing the error now. It's the use of :pad-keys with the empty line "" here. But I'm not sure why yet.

I can confirm that gptel-send does not produce an error, and seems to work, after removing ":pad-keys t" from gptel-transient.el. I'm not familiar with transient so I have no more ideas.

[ankitf]

@karthink Yes. using Transient 0.7.3 now. In my opinion source, of the error is some other package. I had the same setup in a new machine with fresh install and there was no error. But it threw the error in my daily machine where most of the packages were old.

[karthink]

I cannot reproduce this error with the latest version of transient (0.7.4). Can someone experiencing the issue check this?

(Note: I couldn't reproduce this with transient 0.7.3 either.)

[0x715C]

Yea, I still get the error with guix time-machine -- shell --pure emacs emacs-gptel emacs-transient -- emacs.

[apcode]

I get this error: emacs 29.4 gptel 0.9.0 transient 0.7.4

I'm aware of #361, but as far as I can tell, this is a Transient bug so I don't want to work around it in a way where I'll forget about the hack and cause trouble in the future.

If you are experiencing the error, what would really help is a minimal reproducer that combines :pad-keys t and a blank line "", so I can discuss it with tarsius, the Transient maintainer.

Something like this, which I can't confirm since I can't reproduce the bug on Transient 0.7.3.

(transient-define-prefix test-menu ()
  "Change parameters of prompt to send to the LLM."
  [:description "Test menu"
   [:pad-keys t
    ""
    "Some text"
    ("2" "Split vertically" split-window-vertically)
    ("3" "Split horizontally" split-window-horizontally)]])

[0x715C]

The issue seems to have disappeared for me after updating my guix channel lock. I can reproduce it at guix commit 3e1330b2c74c7ec957c0de69f5253c6bcf045c2f, but somewhere between there and commit c1a0889c4e983dced02720c2ec33ac40af7fec1b it no longer occurs.

[karthink]

@0x715C Thanks for the update. I'm not sure what to do about it now.

[0x715C]

@karthink I narrowed down the change in guix that allows gptel-menu to function correctly. https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/commit/?id=cc26f737d1e7705bb0f002745eb4eebd1ac96c1f Seems, at least in my case, this issue is with emacs native-comp and not an issue with gptel or transient.

[karthink]

If anyone in this thread is still experiencing this error (with gptel-menu), please let me know. I will close this issue otherwise.

I also have the same error as in the OP, when I try C-u M-x gptel-send

transient-setup: Wrong type argument: (or eieio-object cl-structure-object oclosure), ""

My software versions: Emacs 29.4 (installed from debian bookworm-backports) Org mode version 9.6.15 Transient version: 0.3.7

Is it just because of my older version of transient package? (using the elpa-transient package from debian bookworm)

gptel requires at least Transient 0.4.0, so I'm not sure how you installed gptel. Try updating Transient.

@karthink @lkirkwood I was facing the same issue with Doom emacs. After running doom upgrade and restarting the daemon, everything seems to be working fine. Thank you for your efforts.

[karthink]

Closing this issue now -- if anyone looking for a solution reads this, try updating the Transient package. If that doesn't work, please open a new issue.

[lkirkwood]

Apologies for the delayed response.

1. Can you try rebuilding gptel? Not sure how you do this in Doom, but it involves re-byte-compiling gptel and its dependencies.

I deleted the package from .config/emacs/.local/straight/repos/gptel/ and ran doom sync to reinstall it, but it didn't help.

2. What is your version of Transient? M-x find-library transient, then look at the header for the version.

;; Package-Version: 0.5.3

This fixed it! Transient is now version 0.7.9 which I guess is why. Thank you @karthink and @prajwaljpj.
