Not be able to enable relative number line by default

[yejianye]

Environment:

• spacemacs version: 0.102.2
• emacs version: 24.5.1
• OS: ubuntu 12.04

Steps:
I added

(global-linum-mode)
(linum-relative-toggle)

in dotspacemacs/config. But when I started Emacs, it enables line numbers but not relative numbers.

I use this:

  ;; Make linums relative by default
  (with-eval-after-load 'linum
    (linum-relative-toggle))

[yejianye]

That works, thanks!

Works for me, too

[diego-alvarez-hs]

doesn't work for me.

Am I doing something wrong?

(defun dotspacemacs/user-config ()
  "Configuration function for user code.
 This function is called at the very end of Spacemacs initialization after
layers configuration. You are free to put any user code."
  )

(defun dotspacemacs/config ()
  ;; Make linums relative by default
  (with-eval-after-load 'linum
    (linum-relative-toggle))
  )

@diego-alvarez-hs Delete the dotspacemacs/config function and stick the code in the dotspacemacs/user-config function. I think dotspacemacs/config won't be called if dotspacemacs/user-config exists.

That's correct

[diego-alvarez-hs]

It doesn't work :(
This is my current .emacspace

If I start it manually with SPC : linum-mode it works

[d1egoaz]

💃 This conf worked for me:

 ;; Make linums relative by default
  (global-linum-mode nil)
  (linum-relative-toggle)

[xoltar]

Any attempt to use linum-relative (including @d1egoaz 's solution above) now triggers cascades of this for me:
Error (use-package): linum-relative :config: Lisp nesting exceeds `max-lisp-eval-depth'

Though the autoload solution used to work, it doesn't anymore for some reason.

[justbur]

The max-lisp-eval-depth message is usually an infinite recursion error

[d1egoaz]

@xoltar maybe it's something failing before enabling linum.

Try to move those lines at the beginning of user-config.

[justbur]

Just checked out the init function for this package, and it wasn't set up well. Hopefully #3416 will fix these issues.

@yejianye should be fixed in develop, can you test it when you get a chance ?
