Problem running eclim

[totic]

Hi,

I just heard about eclim and am trying to give it a shot and encountered this error:

require(decompile)
eval-buffer(#<buffer load<3>> nil "/Users/federico/.emacs.d/emacs-eclim/eclim-java.el" nil t) ; Reading at buffer position 1091

I am running OSX Lion, have the eclim server running without a problem, also using GNU Emacs 22.1.1. Let me know if there is any other info you need.

Thanks

You need to add the vendor/ folder to your load-path

(add-to-list 'load-path (expand-file-name "/path/to/emacs-eclim/vendor/"))

Do this before doing (require 'eclim)

[totic]

I already have that, below I attached the .emacs part that is relevant

(add-to-list 'load-path (expand-file-name "/Users/federico/.emacs.d/emacs-eclim/"))
;; only add the vendor path when you want to use the libraries provided with emacs-eclim
(add-to-list 'load-path (expand-file-name "/Users/federico/.emacs.d/emacs-eclim/vendor"))
(require 'eclim)

(setq eclim-auto-save t)
(global-eclim-mode)

And the content of the folder
~/.emacs.d/emacs-eclim/vendor (1.9.2p290)(master) $ pwd
/Users/federico/.emacs.d/emacs-eclim/vendor

My backtrace (without adding the vendor folder to the 'load-path):

They looked somewhat similar, that's why I suggested that you added the vendor folder to 'load-path.

However, if you notice the calls to eval-buffer the first argument in my case is something like "#<buffer load>" while yours have only a "#" or a "#>". That could be a clue for where the bug is, unfortunately that code is in the C part of Emacs.

What version of Emacs are you running?

I'm running GNU Emacs 24.0.50.1.

[flamingbear]

I'm having a similar issue. I downloaded the most recent version from github on 9/16.

when I get to the (require 'eclim-java) I get an error at position 4765: {backtrace follows from a simple (require 'eclim-java)}

The culprit in my case appears to be eclim--java-current-type-name in particular:
(concat (or type "(class|interface|enum)") "\s-+([^<{\s-]+)") nil t)

and the command (concat "str" "\s-+([^<{\s-]+)") fails on:
GNU Emacs 22.3.1 (x86_64-suse-linux-gnu, X toolkit, Xaw3d scroll bars) of 2011-09-19 on chopin

This same command works for GNU Emacs 23.3.1 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, X toolkit) of 2011-09-01 on nsidc-snowblower

Let me know if I can help with any more information

Thanks
Matt

Hi guys, sorry for the unreasonalby long delay.

@totic: I'm pretty sure that decompile.el isn't really necessary anymore. You could try removing that require statement from eclim-java.el

@flamingbear: unfortunatly I don't have an emacs 22 to test this on. Is this still a problem for you?

[flamingbear]

I haven't been working on this (or even in java). I don't know if I still have an emacs 22 to test with, but I just tried with a new emacs 23.3.2 and I didn't get the same error, but I haven't done more than require eclim and eclim-java. Those two commands appear to work.
Sorry I can't be more help.

[senny]

It's been nine months, I'm closing this issue for now. If you still have problems getting emacs-eclim to run, please reopen and post the problems.

thanks for reporting!
