修改 .emacs 时 emacs 启动错误

emacs startup error when modifying .emacs

我是 emacs 新手。我正在尝试使用 this guide 将其设置为 Python。它建议的第一步是将以下内容添加到 init.el:

;; init.el --- Emacs configuration

;; INSTALL PACKAGES
;; --------------------------------------

(require 'package)

(add-to-list 'package-archives
       '("melpa" . "http://melpa.org/packages/") t)

(package-initialize)
(when (not package-archive-contents)
  (package-refresh-contents))

(defvar myPackages
  '(better-defaults
    material-theme))

(mapc #'(lambda (package)
    (unless (package-installed-p package)
      (package-install package)))
      myPackages)

;; BASIC CUSTOMIZATION
;; --------------------------------------

(setq inhibit-startup-message t) ;; hide the startup message
(load-theme 'material t) ;; load material theme
(global-linum-mode t) ;; enable line numbers globally

;; init.el ends here

因为我有一个 .emacs 文件,所以我尝试将它附加到该文件中。之后,我的 .emacs 看起来像:

(require 'package)
(setq package-archives '(("gnu" . "http://elpa.gnu.org/packages/")
                         ("marmalade" . "http://marmalade-repo.org/packages/")
                         ("melpa" . "http://melpa.milkbox.net/packages/")))
(package-initialize)
(when (not package-archive-contents) (package-refresh-contents))

(let ((default-directory "~/.emacs.d/elpa/"))
    (normal-top-level-add-to-load-path '("."))
    (normal-top-level-add-subdirs-to-load-path))
(custom-set-variables
 ;; custom-set-variables was added by Custom.
 ;; If you edit it by hand, you could mess it up, so be careful.
 ;; Your init file should contain only one such instance.
 ;; If there is more than one, they won't work right.
 )
(custom-set-faces
 ;; custom-set-faces was added by Custom.
 ;; If you edit it by hand, you could mess it up, so be careful.
 ;; Your init file should contain only one such instance.
 ;; If there is more than one, they won't work right.
 )

;; init.el --- Emacs configuration

;; INSTALL PACKAGES
;; --------------------------------------



(add-to-list 'package-archives
       '("melpa" . "http://melpa.org/packages/") t)

(package-initialize)
(when (not package-archive-contents)
  (package-refresh-contents))

(defvar myPackages
  '(better-defaults
    material-theme))

(mapc #'(lambda (package)
    (unless (package-installed-p package)
      (package-install package)))
      myPackages)

;; BASIC CUSTOMIZATION
;; --------------------------------------

(setq inhibit-startup-message t) ;; hide the startup message
(load-theme 'material t) ;; load material theme
(global-linum-mode t) ;; enable line numbers globally

;; init.el ends here

但是,这会引发错误:

Warning (initialization): An error occurred while loading ‘/Users/adamg/.emacs’:

File error: http://melpa.org/packages/better-defaults-20160601.1219.el, Not found

To ensure normal operation, you should investigate and remove the
cause of the error in your initialization file.  Start Emacs with
the ‘--debug-init’ option to view a complete error backtrace.

运行 emacs --debug-init returns:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (file-error "http://melpa.org/packages/better-defaults-20160601.1219.el" "Not found")
  signal(file-error ("http://melpa.org/packages/better-defaults-20160601.1219.el" "Not found"))

当我将上面的代码放在单独的 init.el 文件中时,它不会引发错误,但也不会更改启动屏幕或主题。有人可以指出我做错了什么吗?

您的包存储库内容(本地缓存)已过时,Emacs 正在尝试下载旧的、不再存在的 better 包版本。

据我所知,这部分有问题:

(when (not package-archive-contents)
  (package-refresh-contents))

基本上,只有在根本没有任何信息时才从存储库中刷新包内容(所以只有一次,永远)。在我看来,它始终保持最新是很好的,即使 Emacs 启动需要多花几秒钟。

建议 - 删除包刷新条件,将这两行更改为简单:

(package-refresh-contents)

哦,简要介绍一下配置文件 - Emacs 尝试从 ~/.emacs~/.emacs.d/init.el 文件加载配置 - 按照该顺序并且仅从其中一个文件加载配置。所以如果你有 .emacs 文件,init.el 将被忽略。这就是为什么您对 init.el 的更改没有引发任何错误的原因 - Emacs 忽略了该文件并仅使用了 .emacs.

(顺便说一句。Emacs 还会记住使用了哪个文件,因此当您使用 Emacs 内置工具自定义配置时,更改会转到正确的文件)
