Re: Help debugging a backtrace

[Michael Heerdegen]

Hi Kaushal,

thanks for the update...interesting.

In addition to your strategies, you might want to try something like

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(advice-add 'require :before
            (lambda (feature &optional filename _noerror)
              (when (or (eq feature 'finder-inf)
                        (and (stringp filename)
                             (string-match-p "finder-inf" filename)))
                (debug))))
#+end_src

at the beginning of your (outer) config file.  This pops up the debugger
as soon as "something" tries to `require' finder-inf.

In my setup, the debugger pops up with this content for example:

,----------------------------------------------------------------------
|   require(finder-inf nil t)
|   package-built-in-p(late-night-theme (0 0))
|   package-activate(late-night-theme)
|   package-initialize()
|   byte-code[...]
|   load("~/gnu-emacs/.gnu-emacs")
|   eval-buffer(#<buffer  *load*> nil "/home/micha/.emacs" nil t)  ; Reading at 
buffer position 261
|   load-with-code-conversion("/home/micha/.emacs" "/home/micha/.emacs" t t)
|   load("~/.emacs" t t)
|   [...]
|   command-line()
|   normal-top-level()
`----------------------------------------------------------------------

It would be interesting to see what happens at/after this moment in your
case, e.g. what's the value of `load-file-name' etc. (use R to eval stuff
from the debugger)


Good luck,

Michael.
