Hi, As I reported on https://github.com/emacs-ess/ESS/issues/883 (last post), I'm (still) affected by the randomly appearing error "error in process sentinel: Not enough arguments for format string" and related 'freezing' of Emacs (which is especially popular when teaching in front of 300 students :-) ). My workaround so far was to use M-x flymake-mode to disable flymake which solved the problem.
Before disabling flymake mode completely (not sure if (setq flymake-start-on-flymake-mode nil) would be correct...), I thought I'll ask to a) express that the problem still exists and b) perhaps learn how to properly tell ESS to avoid flymake mode or to deal with the problem otherwise. After browsing a bit, I found ess-r-flymake on https://emacs.stackexchange.com/questions/46556/error-in-process-sentinel-whenever-using-in-an-ess-r-buffer?noredirect=1&lq=1 but I'm not sure if that's the write place for modifications for disabling flymake mode. I'm using ESS 18.10.2 [Released git: d4cd65da6dbf] and GNU Emacs 26.3 on macOS (the problem appeared at least in 10.14 and 10.5). I don't have a reproducible example. I did get the feeling though that chances of triggering the error are slightly higher if I'm "fast", for example, quickly switching to an R buffer and trying to make modifications or quickly navigating through many lines of source code and then modifying a line. It appears maybe 2 to 3 times a day when I'm programming. Thanks & cheers, Marius ______________________________________________ ESS-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/ess-help
