error when first running counsel-jq about counsel-jq HOT 6 CLOSED

Hi @iantor

Thank you for checking out counsel-jq!

I have no Windows machine to test (I'm running Debian Linux and MacOS), so I'd be happy if you can help debug this issue. Let's check some versions first: I've been running Emacs 26 and now Emacs 27.1 with counsel-jq, so that shouldn't be it. I'm running jq in the latest version 1.6-1.

Hi Munen, I have emacs 26.3, and jq 1.6-1
I have some limited debugging experience with emacs, will see if I can get some more details on that error and let you know.

Hi @iantor

Perfect, thank you very much and good luck!

If you can't find the issue, I think the best I can offer is to have a screen sharing session with you to help with debugging.

On the track of the issue. I believe it has something to do with icomplete-mode and possibly with some other settings to do with counsel. Saw the same error in a different context. Will try disabling those settings and see what happens.

problem is solved. It was caused by (icomplete-mode 1) in init.el, which shouldn't have been there since I am using Ivy and Counsel etc.

@iantor Great, thank you for checking it out and getting back on this issue^^

I could have caught this probably in your error message, but I wasn't aware of icomplete-mode. Sorry for that. Personally, I still use ido for some things, but Ivy for most. It's a little complicated to set up, but once done has served me well for years. If it helps, here's my setup: https://github.com/munen/emacs.d/#search--completion The rationale why I'm not using Ivy for everything is here: https://github.com/munen/emacs.d/#where-ivy-doesnt-work-well

All the best and enjoy using counsel-jq 🙏
