For some reasons I hit the error in dired-current-directory. Please, see this stackoverflow question for more details.

Dired sidebar is not part of this package.

ChoppinBlockParty commented

yup I know, that was just a guess, I mean it ends up in dired-current-directory that is part of dired-subtree.el. Look at the stack trace.

ChoppinBlockParty commented

The error is in this line

            alist (if (<= (dired-get-subdir-min elt) here)

of the function (cdr elt) returns an invalid point, that you cannot compare.

It's probably something broken in the integration of subtree to the sidebar package. @jojojames any ideas here?

I haven't seen it myself but I think I've ran into similar issues in the past. Can you create a minimal repro and report an issue @ChoppinBlockParty ?

ChoppinBlockParty commented

Very hard to reproduce. I reproduced it once, then failed to reproduce it again. But it somehow all around the following flow.

  • I open a bar in A directory.
  • Call dired-view-file on some child directories of it (this opens a dired buffer outside the bar).
  • Close the bar, choose a file from the dired buffer. This file is located in some project.
  • I open a bar again, it opens a child directory B of directory A.
  • I repeat the steps again an somehow its stuck.

I think the main problem is that at the end I have two or more dired-sidebar buffers, it also could be relevant to opening sidebar buffers inside a regular window, not really on a side.

If I find anything more I will tell you.

Please open an issue on the dired-sidebar github if you do @ChoppinBlockParty ! I'd greatly appreciate it, if not just for tracking purposes. (I'm also tracking this thread.)
