Fail to launch mu4e

[jvillasante]

Hello, I'm using the following configuration:

(add-to-list 'load-path "/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/mu4e")
(require 'mu4e)

(use-package mu4easy
    :vc (:url "[email protected]:danielfleischer/mu4easy.git"
              :rev :newest)
    :demand t
    :config (mu4easy-mode)
    :custom (mu4easy-contexts
             '((mu4easy-context
                :c-name  "Google"
                :maildir "MyMailDir"
                :mail    "MyEmail"
                :smtp    "smtp.gmail.com"
                :sent-action delete)
               (mu4easy-context
                :c-name  "Apple"
                :maildir "MyMailDir"
                :mail    "MyEmail"
                :smtp    "smtp.mail.me.com"))))

I get the following warning when starting Emacs:

.../emacs/elisp/my-init-mail.el: Warning:
    reference to free variable ‘mu4e~context-current’

And the following error when doing M-x mu4e

apply: Symbol’s value as variable is void: mu4e~context-current

Hi, what mu4e version?

[jvillasante]

I'm new to mu4e, just configure it today. I'm on Emacs30 on Fedora but I'm not sure where to find what version of mu4e I'm using. Do you know how? There's a M-x mu4e-about but it does not shows the version. If mu4e comes with mu then here it is:

$ mu --version
version 1.12.1

[danielfleischer]

My package, nor mu4e 1.12.1+ don't have a variable called mu4e~context-current. Check out your installation. It is currently called mu4e--context-current, renamed from v1.6 to v1.8 which means you have a very old installation. It's best to build from source, very easy.

[jvillasante]

I seriously don't know what you are talking about, I guess I'll figure it out eventually!

• I installed your package both from melpa and from github and get the problem
• According to this https://github.com/djcb/mu/releases, mu/mu4e is on v1.12.7 and I'm on v1.12.1 which comes right from Fedora package, not sure what you mean by v1.6 or v1.8

I compiled the latest mu (version 1.12.7) and still having the same issue...

[danielfleischer]

Trying to help you by searching a variable called mu4e~context-current showed it was refactored out of mu4e a couple of years ago. There's some issue in your mu4e installation.

[jvillasante]

Here's the thing, if I disable your package, everything works!
Not sure, I'll figure it out eventually...

[jvillasante]

May it be that your package installs mu4e-alert that has https://github.com/search?q=repo%3Aiqbalansari%2Fmu4e-alert%20context-current&type=code?

[danielfleischer]

I don't see a problem https://github.com/xzz53/mu4e-alert/blob/d36eb0c1842dea51ee0465bb3751948c8886617c/mu4e-alert.el#L217-L219.

Make sure it's updated and installed from melpa https://melpa.org/#/mu4e-alert.
