Return value of gptel-make-anthropic causes a parse error in customize #1141
Description
Please update gptel first -- errors are often fixed by the time they're reported.
- I have updated gptel to the latest commit and tested that the issue still exists
Bug Description
WHAT I DID
Updated to 0.9.9.3
Created a backend for anthropic using the code in the README, namely:
(setq gptel-backend
(gptel-make-anthropic "Claude"
:stream t
:key 'gptel-api-key-from-auth-source))
Started a chat -- SUCCESS
Opened the customise group for gptel -- FAIL
WHAT I EXPECTED
To be able to access all the customise options
WHAT I FOUND
The customisation group is truncated, apparently by a parse error
