Wrong type argument: string, nil about restclient.el HOT 12 CLOSED

And that's kids why you don't merge pull requests blindly. Should be fixed now, please update and thanks for heads up.

Ack! This was my fault? I even tried without any variables right now, and for some reason that worked.

Sorry about that.

from restclient.el.

Aha, my version of regexp-opt creates a "" instead of nil when given an empty list. Must be differing versions of Emacs.

I'm using 24.3 on OSX if that can be of any help.

Same here. What does M-: (regexp-opt nil) say?

from restclient.el.

No worries. May be emacs version diffs, yes.

Th issue is not in regexp-opt, but in replacement function. Apparently, it tries to replace every empty space with nil and fails. Try this (replace-regexp-in-string "" (lambda (key) nil) "blah") - does it work?

Mine is:
GNU Emacs 24.3.1 (x86_64-apple-darwin, NS apple-appkit-1038.36) of 2013-03-11 on bob.porkrind.org

@magnars it says ""

@pashky doesn't work for me in a scratch buffer

Aha, look at that. Yes indeed, when there are no vars it will try to replace everything with nil. My testing was bad, since I had two versions of restclient installed, and the old one trumped the new one.

Thanks for the fix, @pashky.

And sorry for wasting both of your times with bad patches!

No problem really :)

No worries, I tried to fix the issue myself but I suck too much at elisp :)
