autoload of inf-ruby minor mode fails

[lxsameer]

Hi, here is my inf-ruby configuration:

(autoload 'inf-ruby "inf-ruby" "Run an inferior Ruby process" t)
(add-hook 'ruby-mode-hook 'inf-ruby-minor-mode)
(add-hook 'after-init-hook 'inf-ruby-switch-setup)

but I get this error:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "Autoloading failed to define function inf-ruby-minor-mode")
  inf-ruby-minor-mode()
  run-hooks(change-major-mode-after-body-hook prog-mode-hook ruby-mode-hook)
  apply(run-hooks (change-major-mode-after-body-hook prog-mode-hook ruby-mode-hook))

I report a bug on inf-ruby too but it seems that it's an issue with el-get

[npostavs]

Try removing the (autoload ...) from your configuration. inf-ruby has an ;;;###autoload cookie on that function, so it should already have the correct autoload in ~/.emac.d/el-get/.loaddefs.el. I think your config is overriding that using the wrong path.

I report a bug on inf-ruby too

nonsequitur/inf-ruby#46

[lxsameer]

I find the issue and it was rinari. It contain a very old version of inf-ruby which el-get loads before the actual inf-ruby.

thanks and sorry for trouble

[dgutov]

In that case, you probably should either file an issue at rinari, or ask to change the el-get recipe not to check out all rinari submodules.

[lxsameer]

I'll check the rinari recipe and fix it if possible.

[vnavkal]

@lxsameer did you find a fix for this? I believe I'm experiencing the same issue.

[lxsameer]

@vnavkal do you use rinari ?
Try opening inf-ruby by M-x find-library RET inf-ruby and check the path for the library. make sure that, that is the library you want to load. because some packages like rinari provides a copy of inf-ruby which is old and cause this bug

[vnavkal]

Yep, thanks -- this was exactly the problem. rinari was adding the location of its inf-ruby version to my load-path.

[lxsameer]

No problem buddy

[dgutov]

FFS, can anyone fix the recipe already? Just make it not check out any submodules.

[dimitri]

@dgutov I must be blind here but I fail to see your Pull Request with the fixed recipe?

[dgutov]

@dimitri I've never used el-get, and the last time I did anything useful with rinari was over a year ago.

I shouldn't have to work on this just because it looks to users like the problem is on inf-ruby's side.

[dimitri]

Ok so I just don't understand what your position here is. FYI, I don't use ruby at all so I'm not going to be helping a bit on this one, sorry about that.

[dgutov]

I'm the annoyed maintainer of the said inf-ruby. You can look at the linked issues, if you like.

[dimitri]

ok, now I understand where you're coming from. I think some recent changes did make the rinari situation better, I don't know about inf-ruby tho. Someone here knows about all that, please?

[dgutov]

I think some recent changes did make the rinari situation better

Which changes do you mean? rinari recipe is 8 months old.

I think the only thing required is to add :submodule nil to the rinari recipe, but someone else would have to test this.
