file-missing "Cannot open load file" "file or directory not found" "tree-sitter-dyn" about elisp-tree-sitter

• What is your OS? What is the version?
• What is your Emacs version? Was it built with dynamic module support? You can check that with (functionp 'module-load)) and module-file-suffix.
• Does this work: (module-load "full/path/to/tree-sitter-dyn.so")?

• Linux Mint 19.2 Tessa
• it evals to nil and the variable is not defined
• module-load is a void function

gonna re-compile Emacs with the dynamic modules option on and try again

[shackra]

With the latest two items:

• now it evals to t and the suffix is .so
• the evaluation of that returns t too.

the repository directory is part of the load-path variable, so, at this point I don't know what's wrong:

Sorry I forgot about this. Have you tried using module-load directly, after recompiling Emacs with dynamic module support?

[shackra]

If I understand you correctly, yes, I tried that and worked that way, so is not my dynamic module support. El martes 29 de octubre del 2019 a las 0903 horas, Tuấn-Anh Nguyễn escribió:

I mean, have you tried (module-load "full/path/to/tree-sitter-dyn.so") after recompiling Emacs?

require uses module-load underneath, and was/is buggy in certain combinations of Emacs+OS.

Cannot open load file looks like an error reported by require.

Using module-load directly would have reported Module could not be opened.

[shackra]

I tried exactly that and module-load ((module-load "/home/jorge/code/emacs/emacs-tree-sitter/tree-sitter-dyn.so")) returns t for me.

[shackra]

also, running (require 'tree-sitter-dyn) works, too (after evaluating (add-to-list 'load-path "/home/jorge/code/emacs/emacs-tree-sitter")).

[ubolonton]

So it's now working in your setup, or am I misunderstanding?

[shackra]

it works, but if I run make test the command fails, this has to be something related to my Emacs setup maybe? there is a chance that running make test loads my configuration and because I don't have (add-to-list 'load-path "/home/jorge/code/emacs/emacs-tree-sitter") anywhere in it may be the cause of the failure

So, if I'm right (I will check the code related to the testing right now) this should work differently I think

[shackra]

Okay, I think I know what's going on.

in bin/env.bash you have an export for EMACS with the name of the emacs command, if I do which emacs this name points to /usr/bin/emacs but this is wrong because I use Emacs from Snapcraft, the Emacs provided by Snapcraft is the one with the dynamic module turned on.

Gonna test something and provide a pull request if my experiment works
