Error while trying to benchmark Doom startup

What happened?

I am trying to benchmark Doom’s startup to try to figure out what is causing a delay. I’m trying to use the benchmark-init package and following these setup instructions to profile the startup process.

When I try to start emacs using emacs --debug-init emacs doesn’t eve start and I get this error:


Loading data dump...

What did you expect to happen?

Emacs should have started and the startup process should have been profiled.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Follow these instructions.
  2. Start emacs with emacs --debug-init
