The suggestions provided by which-key do not describe what the key does

Description

The entries provided by which-key seem to be wrong. It appears that something like a namespace is rendered rather than a helpful function name.

Reproduction guide 🪲

• Start Emacs
• Open any Ruby file
• Press SPC r r

(The same issues seems to apply to all which-key suggestions, I just happened to choose SPC r r.)

Observed behaviour: 👀 💔
The suggestions provided by which-key are all the same: ruby/RuboCop.

Expected behaviour: ❤️ 😄
The suggestions provided by which-key give an accurate description of what is going to happen, e.g. rubocop-check-current-file, rubocop-check-project, etc.

After doing some debugging on Gitter, found out that this is caused by a new which-key update. Rolling back to an older slot will fix this.

That indeed solved the issue! Thanks!

Is it helpful to leave this issue open, or do you prefer I close it out? I'm not sure if something in spacemacs needs to be changed, or if perhaps the latest which-key contains a bug.

[hiemanshu]

I think we should leave the issue open. Its a workaround to downgrade and not an actual fix.

May be justbur/emacs-which-key#155

Seems it has been fixed upstream and waiting for melpa to rebuild

[dubnde]

Fixed which-key seems to be available on melpa now

Thanks! I just updated and it did indeed work as expected. The issue appears to have been resolved.
