[Bug] Error "Invalid face" bookmark-menu-heading - causes ivy minibuffer on some commands to throw error (+ other packages)

[wakatara]

I am not sure why, but this invalid face prevents ivy with ivy-rich from working in my configuration for some minibiffuer functions (primarily kill buffer C-x k and previously C-x b buffer switching). Not all though, which is interesting.

I commented out the bookmarks theme (I never use them) here:
https://github.com/wakatara/nano-emacs/

And then used straight package manager and it fixes the problem.

I do not use emacs bookmarks (ever) so am unsure what causes this issue. Note: it only seems to occur with ivy/ivy-rish. I used vertico and did not see the issue arise.

(it did crop up with another package md-roam though the bug I was experiencing with it seems to be unrelated.).

Thanks for the eport. What is the error message exactly?

[wakatara]

When I try to to use C-x b (which is ivy-switch-buffer for me) the Message I get is :

set-face: Invalid face: bookmark-menu-heading

though is appears in the modeline as Invalid face: bookmark-menu-heading

Hope that helps. Very curious about this one as I would not have thought setting a face would kill a command.

Commenting out the bookmark theme package fixes the problem. If you use straight you can just do this in your init.el to check it:

;; (straight-use-package
;;  '(nano-emacs :type git :host github :repo "rougier/nano-emacs"))

(straight-use-package
  '(nano-emacs :type git :host github :repo "rougier/nano-emacs"
               :fork (:host github
                    :repo "wakatara/nano-emacs")))

Another way to fix would be to load the bookmark library. Do you want to make a PR?
