Hi,

sorry but somehow my comment was eaten by some octocat.

Here goes:

I'v upgraded to helm-20120807 and helm-show-kill-ring now fails with the following backtrace:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (void-variable \.\.\.)

Do you have any idea what's wrong? FWIW, I don't see any kill-ring specific customization in my configuration...

Thanks in advance!

Do you use session.el?

[fgeller]

Yes...

Can't reproduce here.
Please try from ./emacs-helm.sh from your helm directory (or emacs -Q
and install basic helm config).

Also, what binding do you use to call helm-show-kill-ring?
Maybe C-y or M-y?
If so, try (with your full config this time not emacs -Q), to call the helm-show-kill-ring from M-x and not from C or M-y.

This is an issue with how session.el saves variables to file. It abbreviates with "..." when the level is too deep or length too long.

See the variable session-save-print-spec

I have this in my init:

(setq session-save-print-spec '(t nil 40000))

To confirm this is the problem, check for "..." in your session saved file. You should find it in the kill-ring variable.

@lewang thanks a lot -- that was it! sorry, that I didn't catch that after your first question..

please close at will :)

Ok so I close this bug, thanks to you fgeller and Le.

I also was saved by this information. Thank you 🌟

Cool, this is worked for me now.

Though, we need delete ~/.emacs.d/.session and force kill emacs (kill -9 emacs) at first.
and then, start emac as usual with new config, everthing is fine.
