Emacs: Ansi-term not tab-completing

Question

I have recently installed a few packages so that I can program iOS apps from emacs, but I am having some trouble. One of the packages (I'm pretty sure it's autocomplete) is preventing tab-completion from working in ansi-term. Any time I try to tab-complete, I get the error "Wrong type argument: characterp, tab". Here is my .emacs file: ``` ; Add packages (add-to-list 'load-path "~/.emacs.d/elpa") (add-to-list 'load-path "~/.emacs.d/packages") (require 'package) ; Package sources (add-to-list 'package-archives '("marmalade" . "http://marmalade-repo.org/packages/")) (add-to-list 'package-archives '("melpa" . "http://melpa.milkbox.net/packages/") t) (package-initialize) ; Check packages were loaded (require 'linum-relative) (require 'git-gutter-fringe) (require 'yasnippet) (require 'auto-complete-config) ; Enable packages (elscreen-start) ; Config ; Color scheme (load-file "~/.emacs.d/themes/color-theme-wombat.el") ; Enable snippets (yas-global-mode 1) ; Copy/paste with the system clipbo…

Accepted Answer

Alright, I fixed it. The problem was with yasnippets, but the suggestion on the link didn't work. For some reason setting yas-minor-mode to -1 didn't work. What I had to do was set yas-dont-activate to something.

Suggested fix that did NOT work for me:

```
(add-hook 'term-mode-hook (lambda()
                (yas-minor-mode -1)))
```

What DID work for me:

```
(add-hook 'term-mode-hook (lambda()
        (setq yas-dont-activate t)))
```

I'm running emacs 23.4.1
