Can you tell me steps to reproduce the problem, to help me understand the
situation being addressed here?
With the new index-webjump mode, the xpath webjumps are unusable
without completions being available, so the index webjump completer
will throw an error in that case. Without this patch, the error will
be discarded, so the user won't see the explanation and won't know why
there are no completions.
You can see the problem by defining such a webjump, e.g.:
define_xpath_webjump(
"gitdoc",
"http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/";,
'//xhtml:dt/xhtml:a',
$description = "Git documentation");
Do not call webjump-get-index. Now press "g gitdoc g". The last "g"
will try to load the completions, which will fail. Without this patch
the user won't know why.
But see also my reply to [PATCH] Let completion functions set the
match_required state.
There may be other ways to currently trigger such an error, and future
changes might introduce more. It's a good general principle to give
the user info about what failed.
regards, David
