Hi,

Today was my first day with Hyperbole. Thanks for providing such a neat
piece of software!

In the file FAST-DEMO, I activated the button <emacs-lisp-mode> [1] in
the section entitled "Many More Implicit Button Types to Learn Across
Time."  I was directed to the second line here [2] due to an unmatched
parenthesis:

    <find-file-other-window (expand-file-name "DEMO" hyperb:dir)>
    <hpath:find "${hyperb:dir}/DEMO")>
    "${hyperb:dir}/DEMO"

The issue appears to be the regular closing parenthesis after
"${hyperb:dir}/DEMO".

I know very little about Emacs but hope this information is in good
hands here. Thanks!

Kind regards
Felix Lechner

Thanks for pointing it out.  We’ll get it corrected.  Enjoy exploring Hyperbole.

Thanks for the report. Can it be that you are using the latest stable release
of Hyperbole, version 8?

I checked the behavior in the latest development version and I could not
recreate it there. Chances are that we fixed this in the development version
plus many other updates. Can you give that a try?

You should be able to install it by adding "https://elpa.gnu.org/devel/ to
your list of package-archives. I enclose the section about the elpa devel
installation from the Hyperbole info pages below.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
B.1.2 Elpa In-Development Package Installation
----------------------------------------------

The Elpa In-Development package pulls from the latest Hyperbole
development branch tip and does not require installation of any new
package manager software.  Since Hyperbole is a mature package, this is
usually fine to use and update on a day-to-day basis.  But new features
are tested on this branch and once in awhile it may break for a short
time before a fix is pushed.  With this branch you'll be able to submit
bug reports and feature requests but will not be able to submit pull
requests for changes to the developers; use the Git In-Development
Package instead for that.

   If you have Hyperbole installed and simply want to upgrade it, invoke
the Emacs Package Manager with {M-x list-packages <RET>}, then use the
{U} key followed by the {x} key to upgrade all out-of-date packages,
Hyperbole among them.  Then skip the text below and move on to the next
section, *note Invocation::.

   Otherwise, to download and install the Hyperbole package, you should
add several lines to your personal Emacs initialization file,
'~/.emacs'.  (For further details, *note The Emacs Initialization File:
(emacs)Init File.).

     ;; Below are the lines to add:

     (when (< emacs-major-version 27)
       (error "Hyperbole requires Emacs 27 or above, not %d"
              emacs-major-version))
     (require 'package)
     (add-to-list 'package-archives
                  '("gnu-devel" . "https://elpa.gnu.org/devel/"))
     (unless (package-installed-p 'hyperbole)
       (package-refresh-contents)
       (package-install 'hyperbole))
     (hyperbole-mode 1)

   Now save the file and restart Emacs.  Hyperbole will then be
downloaded and compiled for use with your version of Emacs; give it a
minute or two.  You may see a bunch of compilation warnings but these
can be safely ignored.

I installed your package from ELPA, which looked like a release for
general availability.

In that case, it's okay to ignore this report. I would, however,
recommend cutting a release when the time is right.

> Can you give that a try?

Unfortunately, I cannot. My Emacs hacking skills are limited. In
addition, I use EXWM, which makes restarts painful.

Closing this report for now. Thank you for your nifty piece of software!

Kind regards
Felix

Yes, it is but bug fixes has only gone into the development version I'm
afraid.

We acknowledge the problem and are working hard to push out a new release. We
hope it will not be long now.

Thank you. Please don't get discouraged by the bug revealed by the example in
the FAST-DEMO. There are more functionality in the stable release that can be
interesting.

Yours

Sorry to jump the gun. Perhaps it would have been more appropriate to
tag the bug as 'pending'.

As a potential future maintainer of Debbugs (please see that list for
more) I am curious to learn when and how you close bugs. Do you have (or
need) Git hooks to do that automatically?

Kind regards
Felix
