emacs-snapshot viper-mode broken

[pkrnjevic]

Binary package hint: emacs-snapshot

Using emacs-snapshot v1:20080228 from launchpad on either feisty or gutsy, enable viper (M-x viper-mode). The try to open a file C-x C-f and up pops the following:

Loading /etc/emacs/site-start.d/50festival.el (source)...done
Loading /etc/emacs/site-start.d/50psvn.el (source)...done
For information about GNU Emacs and the GNU system, type C-h C-a.
Loading viper...
Loading /home/peterk/.viper...done
Loading viper...done
cons: Wrong number of arguments: (lambda nil #("Advice doc string" 0 17 (ad-advice-info read-file-name)) (let (ad-return-value) (let ((viper-minibuffer-exit-hook (append viper-minibuffer-exit-hook (quote (viper-minibuffer-trim-tail viper-file-add-suffix))))) (setq ad-return-value (ad-Orig-read-file-name))) ad-return-value)), 3

Same happens trying to open file using vi commands ":e" or from menu (in GTK mode).

Any ideas?

I get this too, with the same setup. It looks like ad-Orig-read-file-name requires a string as an argument, which acts as a prefix in the mini buffer. Something like "Save file in: ". I'm not sure what changed and where to fix it, but I hope this helps.

Hi

Yup - got the same problem this using:

 emacs-snapshot-gtk 20080228
 Ubuntu Hardy

This is a bit of a showstopper! :-(

Is this symptom still reproducible in 8.10 or 9.04?

[coffeemug (coffeemug)]

I cannot reproduce the bug after upgrading to 8.10.
