gnus.registry.eioio when migrating from emacs 24.1 to 24.2

gnus.registry.eioio when migrating from emacs 24.1 to 24.2

[Alan Schmitt]

Hello,

I just compiled emacs 24.2, and when starting gnus I get these strange
messages:

Reindexing the Gnus registry (tracked change)

Warning: The Gnus registry could not be loaded from ~/.gnus.registry.eioio, creating a new one; The Gnus registry could not be loaded from ~/.gnus.registry.eioio, creating a new one

Somehow it seems to be remaking the registry, but each time I launch
emacs, I get the warning again.

Am I doing something wrong? Is there a way to fix this? (I searched
about this error and could only find problem when migrating from older
emacsen.)

Thanks,

Alan

As a followup, I also tried deleting the .gnus.registry.eioio file. I
still get the same error, no new file is created, and moved messages
cannot be found.

After relaunching emacs a few times, I don't get the error anymore
(starting over for the registry).

However message lookup no longer works. Here is my configuration:

(setq
 gnus-registry-split-strategy 'majority
 gnus-registry-ignored-groups '(("Junk" t)
                                ("TrainSpam" t)
                                ("notmuch" t)
                                ("Trash" t)
                                ("Chats" t)
                                ("Contacts" t)
                                ("Emailed Contacts" t)
                                ("Notes" t))
 gnus-registry-max-entries nil
 ;; this is the default
 gnus-registry-track-extra '(sender subject))

(gnus-registry-initialize)

(setq gnus-refer-article-method
      '(current
        (nnregistry)))

Has anyone managed to get nnregistry to work on 24.2?

Thanks,

Alan

Do you have manually installed CEDET by any chance?

No. (I even had to go look up what it was.)

Thanks for the suggestion,

OK. Could you please also check your *Messages* buffer if you maybe see
the warning

"Unsafe call to `eieio-persistent-read'."

If it is there, it should immediately precede the Gnus registry error.

Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately the only errors I get are:

So, I tried to set up gnus-registry; I used the same settings Alan gave
and saw the same behavior: 

"The Gnus registry could not be loaded from ~/.gnus.registry.eioio,
creating a new one"

It seems the db is being created by gnus-registry-remake-db, but never
actually saved to the file. Pressing 's' in the *Group* buffer fixed
that (gnus-registry-save is hooked into gnus-save-newsrc-hook).

Should the docs mention explicitly that a new made db must be saved
either with M-x gnus-registry-save or 's' in the *Group* buffer?

Just quitting gnus seems to execute gnus-save-newsrc without the
optional force, the hook is not executed afaict and gnus-registry-save
is not called: gnus-registry-cache-file is not written to disk.

I hope that makes sense ...

As a followup, following Memnon's advice, I discovered that sometimes
links did not work because the .gnus.registry.eioio was out of date.
doing a save as explained above fixes it.

I don't use the registry myself, but I've seen a lot of other people
talking about it, so I would assume so.

Thanks, I'll keep trying to make it work. (As 24.2 is fairly recent, it
may not have been noticed yet. Everything used to work on 24.1.)
