It appears to work fine on main, but that is because what is actually happening behind the scenes is that in the test (unless (or (string= src-tfile "no") ...) ...) the actual comparison is (string= "(if (= 1 1) \"yes\")" "no") which appears to work, but is not comparing the result of the closure, only its string value. > I admit that I don't fully understand your use case. I want to use a closure to conditionally control whether a block will tangle. If I hardcode :tangle no, then :var x=(error "oops") will not evaluate. The (error "oops") is a placeholder for a number of things that will result in an error if the condition for :tangle (when condition "file-name") is not satisfied. > Something like (org-babel-get-heading-arg :tangle info/params) I need to go to bed, because I definitely started on an implementation of that I forgot about it as a potential solution. Yes, this seems like a better and clearer way to go about it. > May you please elaborate? Disregard, your suggestion clarified what you meant, and in that case, yes we can consolidate.
