Can't install dap-mode package on Emacs 29.4

[yogeshwani]

Hi

Trying to install the dap-mode package using M-x package-list-packages and upon saying 'y' on the prompt to install I get an error on Emacs saying.

Symbol's value as a variable is void : setq

Can some help me here as I don't know what is happening ?
Thanks!

Any update on this please @yyoncho ?

Have you tried a clean installation of Emacs? For example, do you observe any issues when starting Emacs with the -Q parameter? I installed dap-mode without any problems with my Emacs configuration.

Hi @sergeyklay

Thanks for your reply. I have now installed Ubuntu 24.04 on a machine and did sudo apt install emacs which gave me version 29.3.

I then used the init.el from my repo at https://github.com/yogeshwani/emacs_config/blob/main/init.el
Upon starting emacs with -Q parameter I don't see any issues. However, I do get the following warnings

Also, I get the error as shown in the image below.

Thanks again for all your time and help!

Any idea why this is failing @yyoncho ??

[sergeyklay]

@yogeshwani As expected, the issue isn't with dap-mode but with your configuration. I'd suggest fixing the following mistakes and giving it another shot:
