Function "citar-indicator-create" not found

[bdarcus]

It's defined by the cl-defstruct.

Do you get the error after loading citar?

Like if you require it manually first, does it still complain?

Also, see this Doom PR.

doomemacs/doomemacs#7168

It may suggest slight tweaks to the use-package?

[deb75]

Got it !

I remember having had the same issue with another package.

The point is that the definition of citar-indcator-create is not available outside of the package.

Then this :

(use-package ...)

(defvar ... (citar-indicator-create ...))

fails, because the function is not found, although being defined in the package.

To make it work, it is needed to put defvar statements within the use-package call :

(use-package ...
 :config
(defvar ... (citar-indicator-create ...))
)

and it works like this, much like in the doom link you provided.

Thanks

Makes sense.

I'm considering somehow making those indicators available, perhaps through an optional extension file.

See #770.

I too have just had this same issue. I also wonderred if these couldn't be a part of the package and activated in some way with something like (setq citar-use-default-indicators t) or something like that. Glad to find this issue which has solved my issue.

You mean for the icon-based ones?

The challenge is I don't want to require all-the-icons, so need to figure out a way to avoid that, but still make it easier.

EDIT

Maybe a short-term solution can be wrapping the example in with-eval-after-load, or showing it in a use-package context.

I also want to experiment with SVG icons, but was waiting on a fix to svg-lib.
