Emacs ignore my .emacs?

Question

I set part settings of my EMACS with cusomize, and part with manually editing .emacs-file in my home directory. Not all settings from my .emacs applyed at EMACS startup.

For example, not working web-beautify before save, not enable js2-highlight-unused-variables on js2-mode and more. But if I select these lines and call command eval-region, she begin works!

Also someone settings from .emacs works on startup.

What I do wrong?

EMACS version: 24.5.1, builded from source

EMACS repos: ELPA, GNU, ORG

OS version: Ubuntu 14.04 x64

Link to my .emacs: http://pastebin.com/NJup9cDP

Answer 1

The function js2-highlight-unused-variables is a function used by js2-highlight-unused-variables-mode, which is a minor mode: https://github.com/mooz/js2-mode/blob/master/js2-mode.el

In general, minor modes are turned on as follows:

(js2-highlight-unused-variables-mode 1)

And, they are turned off as follows:

(js2-highlight-unused-variables-mode -1)

The original poster has created a function that looks like this:

(defun turn-on-highlight-unused-vars-on-js2-mode()(js2-highlight-unused-variables))

Instead, the original poster could try the following:

(defun turn-on-highlight-unused-vars-on-js2-mode ()
  (js2-highlight-unused-variables-mode 1))

With respect to web-beautify, the original poster will need to carefully compare his/her own code to the instructions on the homepage for the github repository -- https://github.com/yasuyk/web-beautify. If those instructions do not appear to work, then the original poster may wish to reduce his/her .emacs file to the absolute minimal installation needed for web-beautify and see if it works as expected. If web-beautify works as expected with a minimal .emacs installation, then the original poster can start enabling the other settings little by little until the culprit is located.

The instructions state in relevant part:

If you want to automatically format before saving a file, add the following hook to your emacs configuration:

(eval-after-load 'js2-mode
  '(add-hook 'js2-mode-hook
             (lambda ()
               (add-hook 'before-save-hook 'web-beautify-js-buffer t t))))

;; Or if you're using 'js-mode' (a.k.a 'javascript-mode')
(eval-after-load 'js
  '(add-hook 'js-mode-hook
             (lambda ()
               (add-hook 'before-save-hook 'web-beautify-js-buffer t t))))

(eval-after-load 'json-mode
  '(add-hook 'json-mode-hook
             (lambda ()
               (add-hook 'before-save-hook 'web-beautify-js-buffer t t))))

(eval-after-load 'sgml-mode
  '(add-hook 'html-mode-hook
             (lambda ()
               (add-hook 'before-save-hook 'web-beautify-html-buffer t t))))

(eval-after-load 'css-mode
  '(add-hook 'css-mode-hook
             (lambda ()
               (add-hook 'before-save-hook 'web-beautify-css-buffer t t))))
