Subject: 24.5; GNUS - No such function: nnregistry-request-group
Date: Wed, 20 Jan 2016 11:41:46 -0500

While executing a function to do the following commands:

  (gnus-summary-refer-references)
  (gnus-summary-top-thread)
  (gnus-summary-refer-thread)

I get the error:

 "No such function: nnregistry-request-group

These commands are analogous to the keystrokes:

    A R T o A T

in the Gnus *Summary* buffer

What is `nnregistry-request-group` and how does one debug this?

Thanks.

You could start by reading http://debbugs.gnu.org/13096,
although that never went anywhere.

Hello,

I faced this issue recently too. I found the other bug too.
In my case it was triggered using sparse threads.

I think the issue is caused by having nnregistry in gnus-refer-article-methods.

In my case gnus-request-article-this-buffer tries to request the article doesn't find it in any other methods
and then tries to look in gnus-refer-article-methods.
Where it will hit nnregistry which is then called in  gnus-check-group-server when it calls the inlined
gnus-get-function: ~(gnus-get-function gnus-command-method 'request-group)~.

Thanks.  Could people who use Gnus please take a look and comment?

Looks ok to me, although I donʼt use the Gnus registry. The commit
message could be clearer, though.

I guess you understand this sentence, but I donʼt:

    nnregistry doesn't handle
    any servers or groups define the dummy function so Gnus-registry
    works as refer article method

What do you not understand about it? nnregistry doesn't handle servers
or groups so it needs the dummy function to  pass through the
gnus-check-group-server function. If there's context missing check the
other functions in nnregistry.el.

So what I hope you mean is:

    nnregistry doesnʼt actually handle servers or groups, however we need
    to define a dummy function for it in order to satisfy the
    gnus-check-group-server function.

That does sound a little condescending to say you hope what I am saying.
I'm not a native speaker but I think I can speak well enough to be
understandable. 
Yes that is essentially what I'm trying to say but I want to highlight
that you take the sentence out of context. The full message was:

     Add function for gnus-check-group-server.  nnregistry doesn't handle
     any servers or groups define the dummy function so Gnus-registry
     works as refer article method.

Did you read the first sentence? Maybe it should have been:

     Add function for gnus-check-group-server function.  nnregistry doesn't handle
     any servers or groups define the dummy function so Gnus-registry
     works as refer article method.

It was not intended that way, I was trying to express what I
understood.

My difficulty is because this bit: "nnregistry doesn't handle any
servers or groups" runs into this bit: "define the dummy function so
Gnus-registry works as refer article method" without any intervening
junction phrase like "so we must" or similar.

Ah! Ok that makes your point much easier to get. That a connecting
phrase or word was needed was not obvious to me.
