yas/load-directory is void function without yasnippet loaded.
Maybe add (require 'yasnippet) before invoking yas/load-directory in prelude-ruby.el?

Hi all!

After several months using Prelude I decided to update it to the last version.
Now I'm having some problems loading the libraries.
The problem disappears when I comment:

;;(require 'prelude-el-get)

I see other Windows users have the same issue. Just in case it helps, this is the Warnings buffer output

Warning (initialization): An error occurred while loading `c:/Users/rafaelgp/.emacs':

error: el-get: *git clone magit* Could not install package magit.

To ensure normal operation, you should investigate and remove the
cause of the error in your initialization file.  Start Emacs with
the `--debug-init' option to view a complete error backtrace.

And this is the git clone magit buffer output

      3 [main] git-remote-http 1652 exception::handle: Exception: STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION

error: cannot fork() for fetch-pack: Resource temporarily unavailable

If the problem is that I need to install 'make' or any other Linux tool I'm screwed :-D

Cheers!

I write a Makefile and use tab to indent. But emacs inserts 8 spaces for me. Even I insert the tab using C-q Tab, when I save the file, it's still 8 spaces...

When I hit C-a to go to the beginning of a line and then navigate up or down (using C-p or C-n) the cursor doesn't always respect the first column. I've tried to present a sequence of commands and the resulting cursor placement.

https://img.skitch.com/20111129-byf1pk9y3jpk2j18q1anruadnp.jpg

This seems confusing to me as I'd expect the cursor to hug the first column when navigating a line at a time. And indeed this is the case most of the time. It's not that big of a deal but sometimes it catches me by surprise when I've set my mark and navigated up or down to set the end, copied (or cut) and then pasted the region only to realize that the end mark was indented one column in. This is most troublesome when cutting as it requires manual fixing to go back and indent the code. Again this isn't that big of a deal except when it happens it something that syntactically requires proper indentation like HAML.

Through the years, I don't remember having this issue in other emacs implementations or with other included modules.

Thanks.

RBlock is always enabled. I've tested it with ELisp, perl and xml files. It's even enabled in scratch or help buffers.

Edit:
If (require 'ruby-{mode,end}) are moved to prelude-ruby-mode-hook it works ok - I think.

It's not a big deal, but I've noticed that the minor mode RBlock loads when I start Emacs.
Apparently this mode is meant to be used within ruby-mode, but it's loaded in all modes.

I'm not sure if it's a bug, or it's actually in the process to be fixed. There is a "TODO fix ruby-end and package ruby-block for marmalade" in prelude-ruby.el

I don't use Ruby anyway, so is there a way to 'unrequire' prelude-ruby.el?

Thank you!!!

Hello

I suggest switching to ack-and-a-half.el instead of full-ack.el. I find it much more useful.

Have you tried it yourself?

After reading your blogpost I decided to give emacs-prelude a try. Having just started I can't really feed-back, but this one thing:

Please keep in mind that there are people out there, who have problems with their wrists and so forth due to emacs key binding. (http://xahlee.org/emacs/emacs_hand_pain_celebrity.html)

"using it the way it was intended to be used" -> have you kept in mind that it was not designed for todays keyboards?(http://xahlee.org/emacs/emacs_kb_shortcuts_pain.html)

If this library is also intended to be used by new emacs users you should think about some aspects of ergonomics too. (cua-mode etc.)

Anyway, thank you for providing this package!
Silvio

I just did a "git pull" and after that Emacs would complain about the missing solarized package. I quickly found that the package list was not up to date, so I did a M-x package-refresh-contents and restarted Emacs. Maybe this could be automated after an update?

I've been using emacs-prelude for much of a day now, and well, I am very impressed. It's a sophisticated package and leaps frog me way beyond the various old versions of emacs to a much more modern emacs, so thank you very much.

If I had a suggestion, it would be that your various prelude modules often mix implementation of some functionality with the hardcoded use of that functionality. So for example, you automatically load the zenburn theme, turn whitespace-mode on, and do similar things in the same files that you are also just setting up various hooks and other modes.

This means that a user who wants to track what you do with emacs-prelude finds it difficult to not load the zenburn theme, or to not use whitespace-mode, or to find other ways to tweak once more what you have tweaked. I don't think that's the way out of .emacs bankruptcy.

Or, as the Emacs Lisp Coding Conventions say, http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/elisp/Coding-Conventions.html#Coding-Conventions

Simply loading a package should not change Emacs's editing behavior. Include a command or commands to enable and disable the feature, or to invoke it. This convention is mandatory for any file that includes custom definitions. If fixing such a file to follow this convention requires an incompatible change, go ahead and make the incompatible change; don't postpone it.

Please use user-emacs-directory variable (supported from emacs23) instead of hardcoded "~/.emacs.d". Otherwise emacs-prelude will fail on non-typical systems (like mine).
Or even better, use load-file-name in init.el and put all other files relative to it. See emacs24-starter-kit https://github.com/eschulte/emacs24-starter-kit/blob/master/init.el

You should add "feature-mode" to "prelude-packages" in "prelude.packages.el" so it gets installed from ELPA.

Keep up the good work!

While I enabled whitespace-mode, some lines of the popup layer of auto-complete is covered by something.

Or my emacs-fu is weak. In my usual init file, I have the following (ugly) lines:

(setenv "PATH" (concat "~/GHC/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/texbin:/usr/local/Cellar/ruby/1.9.3-p0/bin:/usr/local/share/python:" (getenv "PATH")))
(setq exec-path (append exec-path '("~/GHC/bin")) )
(setq exec-path (append exec-path '("/usr/local/bin")) )
(setq exec-path (append exec-path '("/usr/local/texbin")) )
(setq exec-path (append exec-path '("/usr/local/Cellar/ruby/1.9.3-p0/bin")) )
(setq exec-path (append exec-path '("/usr/local/share/python")) )

But when I (getenv PATH) or (describe-variable exec-path), these don't show up, which causes a couple of the other things in personal to throw up. Am I missing something?

As discussed in the comments here:

http://batsov.com/Emacs/2011/10/09/getting-started-with-emacs-24.html

Please add "ede-projects.el" to ".gitignore"

i run "emacs --daemon" in Mac OS Lion terminal,but it returns Unknown option `--daemon'.
how to fix this?thanks

i install pretest file via http://emacsformacosx.com/builds。but i cannot find the bin file.
so i dont know how to adjust my PATH.
besides ,Why i have installed a GNU Emacs 22.1.1.

I can grab the Magit package off of the package manager just fine in linux 3 debian-based install.

Flyspell introduces significant lag with a stock emacs-prelude setup. Is there an option to disable it?

Can we disable the connection to elpa.gnu.org on each startup? It makes the startup slower and might break (I assume) when there is no working internet connection.

I realize that prelude intentionally is "disabling" the up/down/left/right keys.... However, that gets severely in the way of org-mode, which by default uses:

M-LEFT org-do-promote
M-RIGHT org-do-demote
M-S-LEFT org-promote-subtree
M-S-RIGHT org-demote-subtree
M-S-UP org-move-subtree-up
M-S-DOWN org-move-subtree-down

As a result, now all these functions are re-mapped to:

ESC org-shiftmetadown
ESC org-shiftmetaleft
ESC org-insert-todo-heading
ESC org-shiftmetaright
ESC org-shiftmetaup
ESC org-metadown
ESC org-metaleft
ESC org-meta-return
ESC org-metaright
ESC pcomplete
ESC org-metaup

This is a yucky yucky yucky configuration that is not very usable.

Hi Mr Batsov

Could you add and enable the various python modules by default, like you do for Ruby and Clojure.

Thank you.

I had several problems with this project. First, I was constantly getting a timeout when trying to fetch some packages from marmalade-repo. Then I added (setq url-http-attempt-keepalives nil) to prelude-packages.el and that particular error was gone. The next problem was that it couldn't connect to https://raw.github.com (or something like that), so I installed openssl (_you should add openssl as a requirement for windows users_) and fixed that one, too.
Now I have the following problem:

  eval(read:errno=0 nil)
  eval-last-sexp-1(t)
  eval-last-sexp(t)
  eval-print-last-sexp()
  (save-current-buffer (set-buffer (url-retrieve-synchronously "https://raw.github.com/dimitri/el-get/master/el-get-install.el")) (end-of-buffer) (eval-print-last-sexp))
  (with-current-buffer (url-retrieve-synchronously "https://raw.github.com/dimitri/el-get/master/el-get-install.el") (end-of-buffer) (eval-print-last-sexp))
  (if (require (quote el-get) nil t) nil (with-current-buffer (url-retrieve-synchronously "https://raw.github.com/dimitri/el-get/master/el-get-install.el") (end-of-buffer) (eval-print-last-sexp)))
  (unless (require (quote el-get) nil t) (with-current-buffer (url-retrieve-synchronously "https://raw.github.com/dimitri/el-get/master/el-get-install.el") (end-of-buffer) (eval-print-last-sexp)))

  load("c:/Users/Dancsi/.emacs.d/init" t t)
  #[0 "�\205\262

Nevermind, I fixed that by manually copying and executing el-get-install.el, but now it stucks at installing magit, at the line

sed -e "s/@GIT_DEV_VERSION@/1.0.0-330-ge808970/" < magit.el > magit.tmp.el #NO_DIST
sed: could not read #NO_DIST: No such file or directory
make.exe: *** [magit.elc] Error 2

The personal directory is an unnecessary complication. If you load or enable something in modules, then the user has to attempt to unload or disable it in personal. This also means that personal has to be kept in sync with modules.

emacs-prelude is under version control, and it should be used as such. Let Git's assume merge algorithms handle changes.

With emacs-20120122-r106910-bin-i386:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (file-error "Cannot open load file" "expand-region")
require(expand-region)
eval-buffer(#<buffer load<2>> nil "c:/d/.emacs.d/modules/prelude-editor.el" nil t) ; Reading at buffer position 5389

Installing package expand-region fixes the issue.

Hi,

in modules/prelude-el-get.el I had to change the :url value to http://... from https://... as I was getting certification errors.

I get this error when trying to close emacs by clicking on the cross on the window frame. The OS is Xubuntu 11.10 with all updates.

(could not copy the error because it contains special chars...)

The indentation for org mode is off.

* task
   #it starts the next line here (three characters in), where it should be flush with the heading.

I wish I could give more/useful information, but I've just started using emacs recently and don't know all that much.

Thanks for the great configuration.

ext-dir is void variable in prelude-ruby.el.

It couldn't find clojure-mode so I had to install the clojure-mode from the marmelade repo manually to get everything to work.

output from --debug-init

https://gist.github.com/1684035

on startup

Warning (initialization): An error occurred while loading `/Users/USER/.emacs.d/init.el':

error: Package `auctex' is not available for installation

First of all, thanks for emacs-prelude! I'm about 10 days into my transition to emacs from MacVim, and prelude has made that process smoother and more enjoyable. Looking at prelude's source has been helpful too -- the modules have provided me with good references for figuring out how to customize my environment further.

I've got a bit of a puzzle and was wondering if you could help me figure out if I'm bumping up against an incompatibility with prelude or something else.

I'm trying to add a hook to coffee-mode so that auto-complete (which I've cloned into my ~/.emacs.d/personal directory) is always activated when I'm editing CoffeeScript:
https://github.com/michaelsbradleyjr/emacs.personal/blob/master/coffee-auto-complete.el

It "half works", i.e. when I open a .coffee file, I see AC in the mode line (which I don't see if my coffee-auto-complete.el is disabled). However, it doesn't seem to take effect unless I manually disable then re-enable auto-complete-mode via M-x.

Of course that defeats the purpose of having a hook to load auto-complete automatically. I've looked in the Messages buffer, and haven't seen any errors or warnings. So far, I haven't been able to figure this out w/ the help of Google, IRC, etc., so I was wondering if you might have any insights.

Thanks.

I got an error like this when I first started Emacs with your config:

Warning (initialization): An error occurred while loading `/Users/aku/.emacs.d/init.el':

error: Trying to parse HTTP response code in odd buffer:  *http marmalade-repo.org:80*

To ensure normal operation, you should investigate and remove the
cause of the error in your initialization file.  Start Emacs with
the `--debug-init' option to view a complete error backtrace.

When I write a function prototype like:
void foo_bar(int x, int y) {CURSOR}, just right after I insert {, electric-pair helps me insert the }. then I just type Enter, while the cursor just start from first column. If it's in a c-mode, after I type some expressions and a ;, the indentation seems alright. But if it's in a c++-mode, it seems not. This case happens when I write a class, namspace, etc...sometimes it won't indent, sometimes it indent more(esp. when write a destructor...)

Not sure if this is a problem with this package or zenburn or the syntax highlighting module for Ruby. (Or any or all of the three.)

Every now and then when I'm typing a line of Ruby code it will dynamically syntax highlight as I type and all appears fine. And then the whole line will go... fuchsia. And I'm not sure why. Here are a couple examples:

https://img.skitch.com/20111129-8gwx76r5grst4eyewm44nbtbtb.jpg

https://img.skitch.com/20111129-b41w93us1y19f2fqx8ip445hji.jpg

Is this correct behavior? Is fuchsia really supposed to be my friend and not my foe?

You suggest to avoid modifying the Prelude config itself. Changes should be done using emacs lisp files in the personal directory.

I would like to change the setting that automatically loads flyspell in prelude-editor.el

(autoload 'flyspell-mode "flyspell" "On-the-fly spelling checker." t)

but I don't know how to do it (sorry but I've been using Emacs only for a month).

If you're wondering why do I want to stop flyspell, it's because in my windows machine it takes about 30 long seconds to load.

Thank you very much for your hard work!!!

I am running Ubuntu Natty. I installed emacs24 from the luanchpad PPA (https://launchpad.net/~cassou/+archive/emacs).

Starting emacs24 with:

$ emacs -q -l ~/.emacs.d/emacs-prelude/init.el

This fails with the following messages.

Emacs Prelude is powering up. Be patient, Master.
Emacs Prelude is now refreshing its package database...
Contacting host: elpa.gnu.org:80
Failed to download `gnu' archive.
Contacting host: marmalade-repo.org:80
Failed to download `marmalade' archive.
 done.
package-install: Package `auctex' is not available for installation

I am able to fetch http://elpa.gnu.org/packages/archive-contents manually.

When I comment the line (require 'prelude-packages) in init.el, I got a few notifications from el-get and a blank window. Restarting emacs after that I get the message:

Emacs Prelude is powering up. Be patient, Master.
load-theme: Unable to find theme file for `zenburn'

Am I missing something?

You've convinced me to try emacs 24, so I am trying to fit it side by side with emacs 23 on windows. As part of that, I've moved the emacs-prelude dir to a different location, because I don't really use emacs.d style setup. And yet, because it's windows, I don't trust symbolic links. (Maybe I should.)

I notice in init.el that you hardcode prelude-dir as
(defvar prelude-dir "~/.emacs.d/")

I am curious if
(defvar prelude-dir (file-name-directory load-file-name))

or some variant of that might not be a better value.

It seems like in comments, function prototype, etc., in C++ files, python files,etc, the syntax highlight is weird. There are always lines that's purple. I don't know why...
I can send your some screenshot I've made. But I can attach it here.

I decided to make certain I had a completely clean installation of prelude, so I pulled a fresh copy, and when I install I ge the follwoing error / backtrace:

I suspect this has to do with having a proxy on my system, however I don't know where to adjust the port settings to use the proxy port instead...

installation of yasnippet via el-get fails when cloning ruby-tmbundle submodule. ruby-tmbundle seems to have invalid file names for windows operating system.

Really enjoying your project, but I have a problem with Prelude with python indentation. The problem appears to be prelude linked as the same emacs, started with -Q, does not show the issue.

A picture is worth a thousand words so just to be clear I've done a small screencast showing the behaviour with the two configurations.

Any suggestions that you or anybody else can give would be much appreciated.

Video is at http://www.screencast.com/users/icottee/folders/Jing/media/927a78c5-7eec-4ef7-b03d-41eea8cee669

Just noticed a missed a comma in the argument list in the first example but the problem happens regardless - been coding with the new config over the last 24 hours and occurs consistently.

Once again, many thanks for any help you can give

Ian

Hi,

when starting and stopping emacs more than once a day the time spent refreshing the packages is getting quite annoying.
So my suggestion is doing it only one time per day.

This is what I'm getting when I try and start a brand new clone of prelude

Warning (initialization): An error occurred while loading `/Users/USER/.emacs.d/init.el':

Symbol's value as variable is void: prelude-packages-installed-p

the following gist is what I get when I start emacs with --debug-init
https://gist.github.com/1683920

Thanks for the great your work emacs-prelude. It's fantastic.
I just applied the solarized-dark color theme https://github.com/sellout/emacs-color-theme-solarized on top of emacs-prelude.

Because of color definition of whitespace in solarzied-dark color-theme, it looks so urgly , so that I turn the whitespace-mode off.
Personally I think that it's not easy to support all various color-themes in the world, but solarized -theme is quite popular and need to be compatible with this.

I can also tune the whitespace-mode color personally, but it will be better to be supported by emacs-prelude for anybody usage.
Can you check this out ?

-- tkHWANG

I'm trying to disable flyspell-mode and whitespace-mode without changing the emacs-prelude files. Maybe I am doing something wrong. I have tried setting the following options in my personal/settings.el:

(flyspell-mode -1)
(flyspell-mode 0)
(flyspell-mode nil)

and

(global-whitespace-mode -1)
(global-whitespace-mode 0)
(global-whitespace-mode nil)

None of these have any effect. I'd rather not touch the files in modules/ so as to be able to update the emacs-prelude package without messing around with any branches. I thought that as the last things to be loaded in the init.el file were the contents of the personal/ folder, that my settings would override the others, but it seems that is not he case.

Thanks for the help.
