spacemacs Emacs fails to start with error "Symbol's value as variable is void: \213"

Emacs fails to start with error "Symbol's value as variable is void: \213"

Description :octocat:

Spacemacs fails starting with:

Warning (initialization): An error occurred while loading ‘<path>/.emacs.d/init.el’:

Symbol's value as variable is void: \213

The steps in https://github.com/syl20bnr/spacemacs/issues/6975 didn't resolve the issue for me. After deleting elpa and restarting the error already happens before any attempts to reinstall the packages.

I've also deleted all *.elc files in the Emacs working copy, rebuilt it entirely, the error persists.

If I comment out the line (setq load-prefer-newer t) introduced in https://github.com/syl20bnr/spacemacs/commit/5d4b80bbad45e8124b68da94ba3fd72a4c910771, then Emacs starts properly.

The same happens when I do a fresh install of spacemacs with a new .spacemacs.

Reproduction guide :beetle:

Start Emacs

Observed behaviour: :eyes: :broken_heart: Startup fails with the error above.

Expected behaviour: :heart: :smile: Emacs starts successfully.

I'm seeing this as well; develop branch has been broken for me since the introduction of load-prefer-newer (5d4b80bbad45e8124b68da94ba3fd72a4c910771).

Emacs 27 build from master branch in macOS; emacs-version reported is:

Try starting emacs with --debug-init and post a stacktrace.

I tried that, but there was no stacktrace. It's the same output. I ran it like this:

/Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs --debug-init

Jan 03 '19 15:01 or

Same here. I'm on Ubuntu, helm completion, emacs 26. Any resolution?

Same error here.

Really? If this bug is real then Spacemacs would have no new users since last November because no one actually uses the outdated master branch.

I want to try to reproduce this bug but I'm scared.

Apr 11 '19 20:04 thanhvg

I cloned the repo on a clean .emacs.d, moved the dotfiles to a backup location and started from scratch as to have a "reproducible" environment.

I only enabled these layers:

 dotspacemacs-configuration-layers
   '(
     ;; ----------------------------------------------------------------
     ;; Example of useful layers you may want to use right away.
     ;; Uncomment some layer names and press `SPC f e R' (Vim style) or
     ;; `M-m f e R' (Emacs style) to install them.
     ;; ----------------------------------------------------------------
     helm
     auto-completion
     ;; better-defaults
     emacs-lisp
     ;; git
     ;; markdown
     multiple-cursors
     treemacs
     ;; org
     ;; (shell :variables
     ;;        shell-default-height 30
     ;;        shell-default-position 'bottom)
     ;; spell-checking
     ;; syntax-checking
     ;; version-control
     (c-c++ :variables
            c-c++-backend 'lsp-cquery
            c-c++-lsp-executable "/home/igor/local/bin/cquery"
            c-c++-lsp-cache-dir ".cache"
            c-c++-lsp-sem-highlight-rainbow t)
     )

And added this to dotspacemacs/user-config:

  (setq cquery-extra-args '("--log-file=/tmp/cq.log"))
  (setq cquery-extra-init-params '(:index (:comments 2) :cacheFormat "msgpack" :completion (:detailedLabel t)))

Apr 12 '19 20:04 igorojas

As of 2 hours ago this is happening to me as well. Stock configuration and a fresh clone I can't get OSX to give me a stack trace.

Apr 17 '19 18:04 deech

This is now solved for me. The problem was that I had compiled emacs from source without gnutls, in emacs 26 and above it is required and setting dotspacemacs-elpa-https nil does not work. In the end I ditched my self compiled emacs and went with brew cask install emacs which seems to be working fine so far.

Apr 18 '19 14:04 deech

I got the emacs-26 .deb files from launchpad.net and installed that version. I still get that same error. Not sure where to look next.

Apr 26 '19 16:04 igorojas

I'm pretty concerned that a completely breaking bug is just sitting here for so long, reproduced on fresh installs, without comment. I realize it's not trivial to fix but can we at least start by reverting the commit in question? Does the commit actually provide benefits that are so large that it compensates for breaking multiple people's spacemacs completely, inexplicably?

IMHO this should be reverted for now until the problem can be determined. This would allow a bunch of people to update their spacemacs without forking. If someone who understands the issues or was involved in the change has trouble reproducing, I'd be happy to work with them to try to verify the problem/fix (and I"m sure other people here would be as well).

May 06 '19 18:05 quicknir

This seems to be the PR for the commit in question: set load-prefer-newer to t #11460

The PR message states that it fixes four org related issues:

Fixes (frustration of) the following issues:

#10199 #6296 #8414 #7641

May 06 '19 18:05 duianto

one of these is running code in org, the other 2 are org export related. While I appreciate these are significant for some people, in the grand scheme of things this is a niche feature in a specific major mode, and isn't anywhere near as severe as simply being unable to run spacemacs. 8414 is a more serious issue. Can we verify that this commit is still needed to fix it? There are multiple commits referenced in #8414 so maybe some of the others fix this issue without the commit at hand.

May 06 '19 19:05 quicknir

@d12frosted Have you run into this issue? Or do you know if the commit https://github.com/syl20bnr/spacemacs/commit/5d4b80bbad45e8124b68da94ba3fd72a4c910771 can be reverted or worked around, it seems to solve this really bad issue?

I haven't run into the issue myself in either Windows 10 or Ubuntu 18.04.02 (virtualbox client).

May 06 '19 19:05 duianto

Interesting, I've never faced this error before.

Reverting 5d4b80b is not a good solution IMHO, as you will return back frustration and issues related to some old elc being loaded.

On the other hand it's really interesting that not forcing to load newest elc files fixes the issue on the clean install.

Also @deech mentioned that the issue was fixed by different configuration of Emacs installation. Or just playing around with dotspacemacs-elpa-https value. Can someone please try to either set dotspacemacs-elpa-https to nil or install Emacs with gnutls support (emacs-plus installs with gnutls by default)?

May 07 '19 06:05 d12frosted

Oh yeah, I read deech's comment when it was posted about gnutls support in Emacs and thought that it might be why the issue isn't occurring for me.

I agree we should not revert the setting to load newer .elc files. We need to find the cause with this option enabled.

I remark that there is almost no description of the context when the error happened. People with the error, do you remember what you did before the error started to happen ? We need as much info as possible about the context in the hope to find correlations. Any bit of information will be useful especially your accurate Emacs build info, how you installed it and on which OS.

Also important the value of the variable system-configuration-options.

I'm now hitting this issue with emacs in flatpak. It worked fine with master branch, but started to appear after switching to develop branch.

I even tried @d12frosted advice to revert to specific commit and even this didn't help to me.

Could you post the full result of (emacs-version). It also shows which OS your on and possibly how old your build is. This is what it says for me:

"GNU Emacs 26.2 (build 1, x86_64-w64-mingw32)
 of 2019-04-13"

Did you forget the parentheses around gnutls-available-p? The manual says that it returns nil if gnutls isn't available. https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs-gnutls/Help-For-Users.html

@duianto Yes, you are right I forgot the parantheses: (emacs-version):

"GNU Emacs 26.2 (build 1, x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.24.5)
 of 2019-04-13"

(gnutls-available-p):

Easy way to reproduce:

docker run -it silex/emacs:master-alpine sh -c 'apk add git; git clone https://github.com/syl20bnr/spacemacs.git -b develop ~/.config/emacs; emacs' -- results in same error on startup

With reverted 5d4b80, it works fine.

docker run -it silex/emacs:master-alpine sh -c 'apk add git; git clone https://github.com/syl20bnr/spacemacs.git -b develop ~/.config/emacs; cd ~/.config/emacs; git revert 5d4b80; emacs'

Configuration variables on that container:

~ # (emacs-version)
GNU Emacs 27.0.50 (build 1, x86_64-pc-linux-musl, GTK+ Version 3.24.1)

~ # (message system-configuration-options)
--with-modules

Here's the docker container template if it helps debug missing libraries or something.

@karlicoss Only --with-modules for config options is weird unless GnuTLS is automatically picked up at build time. The runtime seems to have gnutls although --with-gnutls was not specified explicitly.

With reverted 5d4b80, it works fine.

How did you find this work-around ? :-) Were you able to install additional packages without any error after the successful launch of Emacs ?

@syl20bnr the workaround/commit was mentioned by @or in the issue description, so I just tried it!

Just tried editing config, uncommenting some layers and reloading emacs, seems ok, at least no error messages.

I think I either used git bisect or simply guessed it, because at the time it was one of the recent commits that had to do with loading files. git bisect is much l33ter, tho, so let's go with that. :)

FWIW, after months of running with commit 5d4b80 reverted to work around this issue, I tried running the stock develop branch and it's fine! In the meantime, I've upgraded emacs (and spacemacs) a number of times. It's been so long that I'd nearly forgotten about this issue.

(emacs-version)
"GNU Emacs 27.0.50 (build 7, x86_64-apple-darwin18.7.0, NS appkit-1671.60 Version 10.14.6 (Build 18G1012))
 of 2019-12-06"

(system-configuration-options)
--with-ns --with-gnutls --with-imagemagick --with-rsvg --with-mailutils --with-xml2 PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/opt/libxml2/lib/pkgconfig

I had previously independently discovered this workaround; one time after pulling new spacemacs changes my emacs wouldn't start up anymore. I checked out each recent commit to see what had happened, and discovered the load-prefer-newer introduced the startup failure. Turning it off didn't seem to have any observable downsides, but not needing custom changes in my spacemacs repo anymore is pretty nice. :)

EDIT: to be clear, I have no idea why it may have started working, but would be happy to debug this further if anyone has some ideas on where to look.
