Description: Text Data
# Steps to reproduce
1) emacs -Q
2) M-x set-variable RET
async-shell-command-display-buffer RET
nil RET
3) M-: (async-shell-command
"ls ~" (generate-new-buffer "home")) RET
This results in the following error:
error in process filter: Wrong type argument:
stringp, #<buffer home>
I attach the relevant backtrace.
# Diagnosis
When async-shell-command-display-buffer is nil, the async
shell-command process filter passes output-buffer, which
could be a buffer object, to string=.
# Patch
I attach two patches to address this issue.
The first patch replaces the quoted lambda process filter
with a closure over the name of output-buffer. By keeping
track of this name, a lot of the surrounding
buffer-name-determining code can be simplified via DRY.
The second patch is purely aesthetic and simplifies the cond
that is touched by my first patch into an equivalent pcase.
