This function is making asynchronous commands fail because it tries to add string literal to spacemacs-useful-buffers-regexp while add-to-list only works when first argument is a symbol and the second is an element. Otherwise, it throws this error and stop all async commands to do any further work at this point: if: Wrong type argument: symbolp This commit fixes the following issues: - Don't add spacemacs//mark-repl-as-useful to buffer-list-update-hook. We only need this function to switch to next or previous buffer. So, better check when and only when those commands are actually used. - As a result, we remove the function since it's unneeded anymore. - Do the checking in of comint-mode in spacemacs-useful-buffer-p function. Better do it in one place than scatter the logic in a hook and this function. - Change useless-buffer-p to accept an actual buffer object and check for buffer name inside.

Compilation of quick HOW-TOs for Spacemacs
Table of Contents
Disable a package completely
To completely disable a package and effectively uninstalling it even if it
is part of your used layers, look for the variable
dotspacemacs-excluded-packages
in your dotfile and add the package name
to it:
dotspacemacs-excluded-packages '(package1 package2 ...)
Disable a package only for a specific major-mode
This is done by removing the hook added by Spacemacs. For example to
remove flycheck
support in python buffers, look for the function
dotspacemacs/config
in your dotfile and add the following code:
(remove-hook 'python-mode-hook 'flycheck-mode)
Hint to know the name of the major-mode of the current buffer press: SPC h d v major-mode RET
Disable company for a specific major-mode
It may be handy to disable company
for a given mode if you plan on
configuring auto-complete
instead. On easy way to do it is to use
the macro spacemacs|disable-company
in the function
dotspacemacs/config
of your dotfile. The following snippet disables
company for python-mode
:
(spacemacs|disable-company python-mode)
Change special buffer rules
To change the way spacemacs marks buffers as useless, you can customize
spacemacs-useless-buffers-regexp
which marks buffers matching the regexp
as useless. The variable spacemacs-useful-buffers-regexp
marks buffers
matching the regexp as useful buffers. Both can be customized the same way.
Examples:
;; Only mark helm buffers as useless
(setq spacemacs-useless-buffers-regexp '("\\*helm\.\+\\*"))
;; Marking the *Messages* buffer as useful
(push "\\*Messages\\*" spacemacs-useful-buffers-regexp)
