Ivy actions not working by key

[loafofpiecrust]

I'm using mini-frame-mode along with ivy and counsel. When I set ivy-read-action-function to 'ivy-read-action-by-key, I can press C-o when I have an item selected in ivy to see some alternate actions. I press i for one of the default actions, but instead of doing the action it just goes back to the original ivy prompt. So I'm unable to do any alternate actions with ivy while mini-frame-mode is enabled.

This is the error stack-trace:

(setq ivy-read-action-function 'ivy-read-action-ivy)

Does work, but isn't the type of action completion that I ultimately want.

I can press C-o when I have an item selected in ivy to see some alternate actions

For me it's M-o.

So I'm unable to do any alternate actions with ivy while mini-frame-mode is enabled.

I can reproduce this error without mini-frame-mode but with minibuffer-only frame:

emacs -Q --eval "(setq default-frame-alist '((minibuffer . nil)))" M-x package-initialize M-x ivy-mode M-x M-o o

Can you please report this to ivy devs?

I was able to make ivy-read-action-by-key work by advicing the ivy-shrink-after-dispatching function

This is what I have in my config

  (defun +ivy-shrink-after-dispatching-a(f &rest a)
    (unless mini-frame-mode
      (apply f a)))
  (advice-add 'ivy-shrink-after-dispatching :around #'+ivy-shrink-after-dispatching-a)
