Help fails with error about alchemist.el HOT 11 CLOSED

Hey @edubkendo

I tried it on master and its working so far.

Could you tell me in which situation on what expression you used it when getting the message?

from alchemist.el.

@tonini a little more experimenting makes it seem to be an issue related to helm. If I go to this line: https://github.com/edubkendo/test_alchemist/blob/master/lib/test_alchemist.ex#L4 (repo I made for this case, nothing special) and type : (this is basically the evil-mode equivalent of M-x) and then type alc and tab, this brings up helm which then lets me fuzzy match for alchemist-help-search-at-point which then returns with the error. I also tried the following and got the same error: exit evil-mode into emacs-mode, type M-x helm-M-x then repeat the same process. It gives me the error. I am thinking that something about the interaction with helm prevents it from grabbing the text from the buffer maybe?

I seem to be able to get docs by either typing out the full alchemist-help-search-at-point without using helm, or by using the plain alchemist-help and navigating to what I'm looking for.

from alchemist.el.

This is hard to say, because I have no idea about helm and how it calls functions. Maybe there is an issue with the expression crapping under the cursor when the function is called over helm.

Would be great if someone who's use helm and also have some lisp knowledge could have a look at it.

Yeah, I can work around it ok enough for now. Just wanted to report it for the record.

from alchemist.el.

Yeah thanks a lot :) maybe use the keybinding? Or help me find a new way of
shorter key bindings :-)

@edubkendo whats the status about the usage of alchemist-help-search-at-point via helm, do you still getting the error error in process sentinel: Wrong type argument: stringp, nil?

from alchemist.el.

I am, just updated to latest alchemist and gave it a try :(

from alchemist.el.

Thanks @edubkendo ! I guess I need to install helm and try to find this bug :)

from alchemist.el.

@edubkendo hey :)

I'm not sure if the Alchemist v1.0 released fixed this problem, but could you please give it a try?

from alchemist.el.

seems to be working now, awesome!

from alchemist.el.

Great! Thanks for testing it! <3
