bookmark+: after emacs restart the bmkp-jump-dired/bmkp-jump wont work before visiting buffers

Question

this is a weird issue regarding Bookmark+. after an emacs restart the bmkp-jump-dired/bmkp-jump-1 functions wont work (when I launch them via a command such as in a hydra) before visiting the buffers.

This is what i see in my message buffer:

Loaded /home/zeltak/.emacs.d/settings.el
For information about GNU Emacs and the GNU system, type C-h C-a.
Invalid face reference: quote [24 times]
bmkp-jump-1: No bookmark specified

anyone else has this issues or know what causes this?

Answer 1

Do they work without using your hydra? If so, the hydra is likely where your problem is. Please try to provide a step-by-step recipe to reproduce the problem, starting with emacs -Q, using a simple bookmark file (even with just one bookmark), and saying what you expect to see at each step and what you do see instead.

The error raised from bmkp-jump-1 says that it was not given a bookmark to jump to. That suggests that the code invoking it (or invoking a Bookmark+ function that calls it) might be to blame - perhaps your hydra.

And the first error message (from where?), which is repeated 24 times (!) suggests that some code (that expected a face) was instead passed a quoted face symbol instead of a face symbol (after evaluation). This suggests that the quoted face symbol was either inside a list (e.g. (some list 'my-face)) or that it was used in a macro call (macros do not evaluate their arguments). (Does your hydra perhaps have 24 heads?)

Please show some code.
