error "Invalid face" bookmark-menu-heading

[philipsd6]

When executing find-file in emacs 29.0.50, if you TAB to complete a few times, the error is thrown:

error "Invalid face" bookmark-menu-heading

The bookmark-menu-heading face was removed recently:

    * lisp/bookmark.el (bookmark-menu-heading): Delete face.

For those of us using recent versions of emacs, a quick fix is:

sed -i '/bookmark-menu-heading/d' /path/to/nano-emacs/nano-theme.el

For the long run, I guess this setting should have a version guard?

Thanks. I think the nano-theme should handle this case but I'm not quite sure how to integrate with nano-emacs that do not require any installation.

@philipsd6 which path do I run the sed command from ?

[philipsd6]

It depends on where you install it; for me, I'm using straight, so my command is:

sed -i '/bookmark-menu-heading/d' ~/.emacs.d/straight/repos/nano-emacs/nano-theme.el

Thanks @philipsd6
It worked!

Hi!
I added a check on set-face before setting the face. This is the commit on my repository.

This check just message a warning when the face does not exists, in this case, bookmark-menu-heading. Maybe, this is not the solution, but it may be useful for future versions.

Is this useful? Should I do a Pull- Request?

Ah! Is this the same issue as Issue #135 ?

[rougier]

Same issue and your fix is nice actually. If you can make a PR that would be great.
