Multiple commands crashes in Emacs 30.0.50 about magit HOT 7 CLOSED

Well, I kinda force users to use the bleeding edge of Magit, so that's on me. (I plan to release, but it is complicated.)

When it comes to Emacs master, I use that too and I only very seldomly have issues with it myself. But yes, if that does not work, then users should try the latest stable release, and if that works stick to it for a while. Or investigate the issue themselves, that would be very useful. Having to investigate alleged issues with the latest Emacs master, which they cannot reproduce themselves, is not very appealing to package maintainers in general. (Having a short me too is kinda useful though. That does provide a signal, that it's not just one users messed up system. It does not prove that the package, for which the issue is reported, is at fault either. It's a signal, but its a bit vague 😜.)

I suppose something must have been wrong with my build even though it worked for at least 6 months.

If you use the development branch, then you should rebuild regularly. Doesn't have to be every week, but six months is way too long. Many package authors support Emacs' master branch, but assume that users are on a fairly recent build.

I don't know what the issue is either and suspect it is not a bug in Magit.

I don't know if you are one of the people in that stackoverflow thread, but if you are not, make sure you perform the same debugging steps as them, in case it fixes the issue for you.

First make sure you exit Emacs. Then make sure all traces of Magit and its dependencies are completely gone. Only then start a new Emacs instance and reinstall Magit.

Try with native compilation disabled.

Since you are having this issue with Emacs 30 (which I use myself), try with a released version too. Again make sure you have left Emacs, before you reinstall everything (in this case really everything, not just Magit and dependencies).

The same magit version Magit 20231006.2318 [>= 3.3.0.50-git], Transient 0.4.3, Git 2.42.0

fails under my local emacs 30.0.50 build, but runs fine with emacs 29.1

so yeah, we should investigate what's wrong in our build.

Thanks again @tarsius

Hitting this as well, emacs 30.0.50, building magit from tip. Not expecting support seeing as I'm on bleeding edge, but just thought I'd warn others!

Agree completely... generally a plus-1 type of message has little value in proving much with regards to an open issue other than what you say.

This morning I completely rebuilt emacs from master and reloaded all packages and the issue resolved itself. Which probably hints to it being my "messed up system". Hoping the OP can resolve doing the same. Not seeing anything pointing to a problem with magit itself.

I also rebuilt emacs from source today and and now everything works! I suppose something must have been wrong with my build even though it worked for at least 6 months. I did not check the AOT compile flag this time which I might have done last time. Anyway, thanks for all the tips and the great project that this is! Really missed it a lot when it didn't work for two weeks. Hated going back to the cli. <3
