Issue type

  • Question

Environment

Emacs version: GNU Emacs 29.1 (build 1, aarch64-apple-darwin22.5.0, Carbon Version 169 AppKit 2299.6) of 2023-08-08

Operating System: macOS 13.5.1 (Ventura, ARM)
Evil version: 1.15.0
Evil installation type: MELPA
Graphical/Terminal: macOS GUI
Tested in a make emacs session (see CONTRIBUTING.md): No

Reproduction steps

  • Start Emacs
  • Run M-x load-library and evil

Expected behavior

Evil should load and I shouldn't see an error

Actual behavior

I get:

Loading evil...
byte-code: Symbol’s function definition is void: evil-add-to-alist

Further notes

I used to use evil last cloned from git in 2015. Now I just installed from elpa and this is what I get.

evil-add-to-alist was deprecated for many years and eventually removed in favor of alist-get/evil--add-to-alist. You should update any external code that depended on it. Could you produce a backtrace to show what is still using it?

Here's the backtrace:

Besides that, I tried:

❯ rg --smart-case -L --no-ignore --hidden --binary evil-add-to-alist
elpa/evil-20230828.1342/evil-search.elc: binary file matches (found "\0" byte around offset 5)

elpa/evil-20230828.1342/evil-states.elc: binary file matches (found "\0" byte around offset 5)

That's all I could find in my ~/.emacs.d.

I can't make sense of this. Thanks for your help

Oh you know what? I just realized these compiled *.elc files were probably from when my packages were in a half-upgraded state. Deleting them fixed my problem.

Thanks!
