Debugging an emacs package with edebug

Hello everyone, Trying to fix bugs in a package that's gone a bit stale so I'm trying to figure out how to use edebug. Edebug manual is pretty dense and a couple of weeks between debugging sessions I forget how to run it. In the spirit of "learning in public" here's a quick screen cast: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=560QrNt-a_w This should really be accompanied by a blog post, and it's kinda there in my notes. Would love some feedback.

Thanks for sharing this. Very handy as edebug has been a bit of a mystery to me. More importantly, can you share details about your set up? Really like the box that pops up in the center of your screen.

Glad you liked it. Are you talking about the M-x list in the middle of the screen? That's [vertico-posframe](https://github.com/tumashu/vertico-posframe). There's a similar for most major completion frameworks on [melpa](https://melpa.org/#/?q=posframe).

Yes, that. Thanks for the pointer.

Nice demo. I've been using \`debug-on-entry' but your way looks better. Which repo/commit of org-noter are you fixing up? I'm using [github.com](https://github.com):cbpnk/org-noter-core.git \[5a95262\] (\~135 commits behind!). Maybe I'll dive back into that code -- I was dreaming of getting the head of that repo working and then finding a way to open pdfs into org-noter directly from a \`dired' buffer.

Nice, it looks like we're forked off the same repo. Here's my fork: https://github.com/dmitrym0/org-noter-plus-djvu My fork is at the point where I can create notes, sync reading positions. Someone's put a lot of work to decouple `org-noter` functionality from the backing format, kudos to them. Opening a pdf and starting an org-noter session works. I don't see why it wouldn't work from dired, but I don't know how it works.

Looks like you put some work into the x-y precise note feature. I'll need to get past that bug at \[a7ff66c\] to try out your code. Which version of emacs are your running? I'm at 28.2, but I was under the impression that some of the development uses code that's ahead of what I have right now.

> Looks like you put some work into the x-y precise note feature. That's correct, it's working well, at least for PDFs. > a7ff66c Not familiar with the code, but I imagine this where you can't open arbitrary notes files, and everything just goes `notes.org`? It's on my "list", but so far I've been able to work around it by creating a `NOTER_DOCUMENT` property, and invoking from that document. I'm on 28.2 as well. I don't know what the upstreams authors used but I'd be surprised if it mattered..
