Autoloading transient-define-prefix form fails · Issue #280 · magit/transient (original) (raw)
Hi Jonas,
This seems to be the issue described in #254.
Please see this code in my listen package:
I explicitly (require 'transient), and I do:
;;;###autoload (transient-define-prefix listen-menu () ...
But when I start Emacs, I get this error:
Error loading autoloads: (void-function transient-prefix)
Frustratingly, that error doesn't point to the source of the error. But I've narrowed it down to the autoloads for listen, as (featurep 'listen-autoloads) returns nil, and the functions autoloaded in listen-autoloads.el after this line are not defined:
(put 'listen-menu 'transient--prefix (transient-prefix :command 'listen-menu :info-manual "(listen)" :refresh-suffixes t))
If I manually M-x load-library RET listen-autoloads RET, then the rest of the file gets loaded and the functions are defined.
I don't understand how I could be the first (or even second) to encounter this problem, and I don't know how to fix it. By preventing my package's autoloads from loading completely, it's breaking some important functionality in the package.
I'd appreciate any help. Thanks.
