Hello fellow Emacs enthusiasts,
I’m reaching out to see if there’s anyone here who’s successfully integrated a modern development environment within Emacs for Python programming. Specifically, I’m interested in a setup that incorporates eglot, tree-sitter and company.
I’ve encountered a significant issue: whenever I enable python-ts-mode, Emacs consumes all my system’s memory and crashes. While I’ve managed to use a more basic setup that limits tree-sitter to syntax highlighting only, I can’t shake the feeling that I’m missing out on some great functionality.
To help with investigation:
- I am running on a Mac
- The bare minimum to reproduce this problem is on the following gist: https://gist.github.com/hnarayanan/a6397d6723fce19e2802d4305071e611
- I happen to use Emacs from MacPorts, but to double-check, I also attempted to download it from https://emacsformacosx.com and it crashed in the same way
- This seems to happen independent of the language server used in the backend. I intend on using python-lsp-server, but it fails even if I don’t have it installed.
Has anyone faced a similar problem and found a solution? Perhaps I am doing something very wrong with my config? I’m eager to learn from your experiences and would greatly appreciate any advice or tips you can offer.
Thank you!
Several comments:
kill -11
to the process, you should get a corefile of the running process. Running something likestrings
orhexdump
against the resulting image (you’ll want to remove it when you’re complete) might make the problem obvious. There should be a way to start the process with limited memory to avoid generating a 30GB core file.
