auto-tags setting do not reconize the tags

[CyberFox001]

If I add an element of type auto-tags in elfeed-summary-settings, the tree-based view of elfeed-summary do not show any tag.

What I have done

I have added this Elisp code in my init.el:

(use-package elfeed-summary
  :config
  (setq elfeed-summary-settings
        '((group
           (:title . "All feeds")
           (:elements
            (query . :all)))
          (group
           (:title . "Searches")
           (:elements
            (search
             (:filter . "@7-days-ago +unread")
             (:title . "Unread entries this week"))
            (search
             (:filter . "@6-months-ago emacs")
             (:title . "Something about Emacs"))))
          (group
           (:title . "Tags")
           (:elements
            (auto-tags . (:maxlevel 3)))))))

All my feeds are set with elfeed-org and the majority of my feeds have a tag.

What is the result

When I call the function elfeed-sumarry, I can see the group title "Tags", but this group is empty.

What was expected

When I call the function elfeed-sumarry, I can see the group title "Tags" and bellow all the tags and their respective feeds.

I have followed the readme instructions and example to set the settings.

Do you have any tags set in elfeed-feeds? Can you give an example?

[CyberFox001]

Here are an example of the values present in variable elfeed-feeds:

 ("http://lestrainsdelaurent.over-blog.com/rss" modelism)
 ("http://letraindemanu.canalblog.com/rss.xml" modelism)

Note: My feeds are defined by an Org-mode file, as I use Elfeed-org.

Did you write +tag or -tag? Did you verify that the entries have tags?

[CyberFox001]

Yes, I can filter Elfeed entries based on tags.

[Thaodan]

I know that, I asked if the entries you wanted to have in the elfeed summary search that these tags. Also if you wrote the tag name with a inclusion or exclusion in the search, i.e. `+tag` or `-tag`.

[CyberFox001]

I'm sorry, but I do not understand.

[Thaodan]

You have to specific the tags in the :filter with + or - or they are not recognized as tags.

I asked you to verify if your entries have tag, open an entry an look at the Tags: line.

[CyberFox001]

You have to specific the tags in the :filter with + or - or they are not recognized as tags.

Ah, you mean in my configuration for the "Searches" group ? Yes, I forgotten to write the "+" before the tag.
But the bug I encounter was in the "Tags" group with the element auto-tags.

I asked you to verify if your entries have tag, open an entry an look at the Tags: line.

Checked and my Elfeed entries have tags. Right after their Tags: field, I can see their tags.

Yes exactly. I don't know why it doesn't work,I'm not using the autotags feature.

Did anybody solve the auto-tags problem? It would be nice to have a complete example.

it seems to be broken, I tried to use OP's settings and it doesn't do anything.

[CyberFox001]

I tried to modify my config to set auto-tags like I set search element:

  (use-package elfeed-summary
    :config
    (setq elfeed-summary-settings
          '((group
             (:title . "All feeds")
             (:elements
              (query . :all)))
            (group
             (:title . "Searches")
             (:elements
              (search
               (:filter . "@7-days-ago +unread")
               (:title . "Unread entries this week"))
              (search
               (:filter . "@6-months-ago emacs")
               (:title . "Something about Emacs"))))
            (group
             (:title . "Tags")
             (:elements
              (auto-tags
               (:maxlevel . 3)))))))

But I get the same result: When I call M-x elfeed-summary, the group Tags is empty.
