Subject: 27.2; [debbugs] soap-client.el: `string-search' (void function?)
Date: Thu, 03 Feb 2022 10:08:06 +0100

When I use the “debbugs” package [https://elpa.gnu.org/packages/debbugs.html]
to find keywords with `debbugs-gnu-search', it produces the following error.

#+begin_quote
error in process filter: soap-decode-xs-complex-type: Symbol’s function definition is void: string-search
#+end_quote

`toggle-debug-on-error' generated the following backtrace:

`string-search' is used in soap-client.el since commit 3b7b181bded in
Emacs master branch. However, it exists since Emacs 28.1 only.

soap-client.el is used also for older Emacsen via GNU ELPA. I recommend
to revert that change.

Best regards, Michael.

Thanks you, that file has now been changed not to use `string-search` or `string-replace`.

Emacs is becoming a mine-field with all these core packages. In particular, soap-client does not advertise its required Emacs version in the Package-Requires: line. What Emacs version would be the appropriate minimum?

Without knowing that, it's difficult to ensure that the package works for the intended configurations.

Yes, we should aim at including this information in files used by ELPA
packages.

Thanks. Perhaps it needs also a new version in order to be visible on
GNU ELPA, don't know. Thomas might know.

Yes. debbugs requires (emacs "25.1"), I would appreciate if soap-client
could do the same.

Best regards, Michael.

Yes, thanks for fixing this Mattias.

As I remember, jump bumping the version of a core ELPA package on
emacs.git's master branch will result in it being updated in the
archive.  I've done a minor version bump, so we'll see if 3.2.1 appears
in "list-packages" within 24 hours.

Done, added (emacs "24.1") to Package-Requires.  Excorporate 1.0.0,
which uses most of soap-client's features, works back to Emacs 24.1.

Excellent! Do you have a CI or other arrangement to test that soap-client and excorporate work with versions back to 24.1?

For instance, soap-inspect.el also uses seq-random-elt which seems to have been introduced in Emacs 26.

I've been testing it by hand against a server for each Excorporate
release.

I have Alex Harsanyi's soap-client test suite but it's probably not
redistributable because it contains WSDL files that don't have proper
license information.  Maybe I could rig something up on sourcehut
(sr.ht) to periodically run that test suite with Emacs 24.1 and
soap-client from master.  It would be nice if there were some official
GNU ELPA CI for older versions of Emacs though, since, as you point out,
this same issue applies to other core packages.

Yeah, soap-inspect.el is a debugging tool, not a library like
soap-client.el, so I'd say maintaining backward compatibility isn't as
important for it.

That's reassuring to know.
It sounds as if we are done for now, so I'm closing the bug. Do tell if there is anything else.
