Cannot load "s" after installing groovy-emacs-mode

[pedz]

I updated to the latest el-get. I go into el-get-list-packages and mark groovy-emacs-mode to be installed. I can also mark "s" to be installed or not but it doesn't make any difference.

When I am finished, groovy-emacs-mode works fine. But if I quit emacs and start it back up, when I open a file that tries to use groovy-emacs-mode, I get this error:

File mode specification error: (file-missing Cannot open load file No such file or directory s)

The work around I do is to add the el-get/s directory into my load-path which gets me working for now but I thought you guys might like to know.

You need to put (el-get 'sync) in your init file, as explained in https://github.com/dimitri/el-get#setup.

Thank you. I was attempting to do the Advanced Usage with Local Recipes but didn't 100% understand it (or remember that I was doing it). I see now that I can sorta have my cake and eat it too by putting (el-get 'sync) after the el-get-bundle calls.

Thank you again. Its super nice to be able to add things like Groovy syntax highlighting by just picking a package. Much better than the old days before emacs packages.

Oh, I see. I've updated that section of the README to clarify that
(el-get 'sync) is required unless you keep track of dependencies
yourself.

Slight change of topic. Another symptom I saw before was el-get was not in my Info list. Now it is. I was going to read up on recipes to see if the 's' recipe needed to be modified is how I noticed.

Is that something else that (el-get sync)` does?

Hope this helps

Yes, it will setup any el-get package that you have installed, which includes itself.
