wrong type argument : arrayp, nil

[ethanabrooks]

I have autothemer.el on my load-path, but when I run M-x autothemer-generate-templates I get wrong type argument : arrayp, nil. I'm new to emacs, so apologies if I'm confusing some concepts here.

hmm, I guess you didn't call autothemer-deftheme before trying to generate the templates? In that case there is no color palette to choose from (but I should probably emit a user-friendly error message in that case). If that's not it, maybe you could post a backtrace?

[ethanabrooks]

Sorry, can you walk me through this? M-x autothemer-deftheme does not appear to be a valid command. Do I need to add it to my .emacs?

Also, how do I get a backtrace? When I check messages, it just shows:
autothemer-generate-templates: type argument : arrayp, nil

[sebastiansturm]

please try to execute the code sample shown in autothemer's readme. That should work (at least it does on my machine), and you should also be able to use autothemer-generate-templates afterwards. If not, try again after calling toggle-debug-on-error; that should produce a backtrace on failure

After copying that script into the .emacs file M-x autothemer-generate-templates works. Thanks.
