"There is no thing at point that could be edited" when trying to edit an issue

[DrWaleedAYousef]

When "enter" an issue, then try to edit it (not commenting) this message is given in the mini-buffer: "There is no thing at point that could be edited"

[vermiculus]

This is not yet supported.

[DrWaleedAYousef]

So you mean I only can create a new issue from magithub but cannot edit it; right?

[vermiculus]

As of today, yes. This could change in the future provided I find the time to implement it (or some brave soul submits a PR).

[DrWaleedAYousef]

Thanks so much

[vermiculus]

Leaving open as an enhancement.

Any chance we can change the message in the meantime?

I too was scratching my head about "nothing at point that could be edited" when trying to edit an issue :(

[vermiculus]

It's a standard message provided by magithub-edit-thing. I'd be fine with changing the message, but it would need to make sense for anything you might want to edit.

[ccressent]

I'm a beginner elisper, but it looks like magithub-edit-thing is purely and simply not implemented (source here)? What about changing the error to something like "This operation is not supported yet."?

I imagine that down the road, magithub-edit-thing is going to look at what's at point and call different functions accordingly, ie: magithub-comment-edit if it's a comment, ...?

[vermiculus]

Not quite. In fact, magithub-edit-thing is remapped to different functions in different keymaps.

[ccressent]

I see, now I understand better your dilemma with changing the message!
