[O] Org agenda started behaving badly

[Marcin Borkowski]

Hi all,

so out of nowhere my org agenda started behaving in a strange way.  It
seems not to respect my TODO-keywords settings:

--8<---cut here---start->8---
(setq org-todo-keywords
  '((sequence "TODO(t!)" "DONE(d!)")
(sequence "SOMEDAY(s!)")
(sequence "CANCELLED(c@)")
(sequence "WAIT(w!)" "|")))
--8<---cut here---end--->8---

i.e., it now shows all the "CANCELLED" items as if "CANCELLED" was not
a todo keyword at all.  When I visit the offending file and issue M-x
normal-mode, everything is back to normal again.

Now the strange thing is, I haven't updated Org in a while.  I did now,
but the problem persists.  I am on

Org mode version 9.1.13 (release_9.1.13-791-g842002 @ [...])

and

GNU Emacs 27.0.50 (commit f1e65b7)

I also can't remember changing my config (but it's quite possible that
I'm forgetting something).

What I did do is I updated some packages through the Emacs package
manager, but I don't think this is related.

Now I know this is a bit vague, but does anyone have any idea what might
cause this, or how I could try to debug this problem?

Of course, I have a lot of Org-mode-related customizations in my
init.el, but I don't think they are related.  If I'm wrong, I can post
them here, of course.

Best,

[O] How do I debug agenda-skip-functions?

[Akater]

To quote the following 2013 message from this mailing list
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2013-06/msg00841.html

I try to debug a skipping function for agenda. debug-on-entry has no
effect. debug-on-entry org-agenda-skip-eval had an effect once but I
can't reproduce it; besides, another message
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2013-06/msg00854.html
from the same thread reads:

> It would be great except for the following: as soon as I use the

so I won't feel confident I won't be hit by the same bug.

How do you debug agenda skip functions?

Hi Thomas,

I just pushed some commits that I think will fix the problems.  I
tested with "emacs -q" this time, so it should work on configs other
than my own.  ;)

Please let me know if you have any other problems or comments.  Thank

[O] ANN: org-make-toc package makes tables of contents

[Adam Porter]

Hi friends,

I've posted a new package on MELPA called org-make-toc which allows you
to automatically create customized tables of contents in documents.  You
can have multiple TOCs in a single document, including a master TOC that
shows every heading, TOCs that show only child or sibling headings, etc,
and you can exclude headings from TOCs.

https://github.com/alphapapa/org-make-toc

Any comments or suggestions are welcome.  Hope you find this useful.

Thanks,
Adam

Subject: [PATCH] org-capture.el: Offer property value completions in capture
 template

* lisp/org-capture.el (org-capture-fill-template): When reading a
  property's value for a `%^{prop}p' template element, offer
  completions on the property's allowed or existing values.

This is done by temporarily prepending to the variable
`org-file-property' and entry `(prop_all . vals)' where vals is either
the local or inherited value of `prop_all' at the target location or,
if that is nil, the set of local values of `prop' in the target
buffer.  A dummy value `:ETC' is added in the latter case so that
matching is not required.

The resulting behavior is (hopefully) the same as when using
`org-set-property' directly.  If there is an entry for `prop' in
`org-property-allowed-value-functions', that will be used in
priority.  If not and there is a local or inherited value for
`prop_all' at point or target location, then this will be used.  In
these two cases, matching is required unless `:ETC' belongs to the
allowed values.  Finally, in the absence of allowed values, the set of
local values for `prop' in the current or target buffer is used, with
matching not required.

[Pierre Téchoueyres]

Hello nicolas,
Many thanks for your patience and for applying my patch.
I've seen you didn't apply the part which added an entry in ORG-NEWS
file. Was this deliberate or just an side effect of your refactoring ?
Or is this unneeded ? 
Again thanks for your patience.

[O] Support flymake with org-lint

[Alex Branham]

Here's a patch that adds support for flymake in Emacs 26 and greater. It
uses org-lint.el as the backend. It can be pretty slow if you have a
large buffer open, so I don't think I'd recommend enabling it by
default. It's nice to be able to use e.g. flymake-goto-next-error to
navigate around the buffer though.

Re: [O] Spurious "Non-existent agenda file" message?

[John Kitchin]

Sometimes I see this when a buffer is open to a file that has never been
saved. This can happen when I start a new org file and try to do some
agenda thing before I save it, or when some function/process opens an
org-file in a new directory for example, and an agenda thing happens before
it has been saved.

You could check to see if there is a refile.org buffer open (not
necessarily to the existing file, just one named refile.org) but that has
not been saved. I don't know why such a buffer would be open, but if it is,
it might be a cause of that problem.

[O] Org-babel bash session with non-standard prompt

[Narendra Joshi]

Hi,

If the value for PS1 variable is set to something that doesn't end with
a `$` or `#`, org-babel hangs while using a fixed :session.

To overcome this, I can do the following at the start of a sh org-babel
session: 

#+begin_src bash :session s :results verbatim drawer
export PS1='$ '
ls -lah
#+end_src

And this works ^.

I would like to know if I can somehow pass the environment variable
to the shell that org-babel starts for the session. I don't want to add
it to a snippet and do not want to type it every time. 

Any help would be greatly appreciated. 

Thanks,

Re: [O] autoinsert

[Joseph Vidal-Rosset]

Hello,

Here is the  adaptation of the previous  lines of code that  works in my
setup (the web page [[https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/RegularExpression]] was 
helpful): 

#+BEGIN_SRC 
(require 'autoinsert)
(auto-insert-mode)  ;;; Adds hook to find-files-hook
(setq auto-insert-directory "~/MEGA/org/my_org-templates/") ;;; Or use 
custom, *NOTE* Trailing slash important
(setq auto-insert-query nil) ;;; If you don't want to be prompted before 
insertion
(define-auto-insert "\.beamer-fr.org" "my-beamer-fr.org")
#+END_SRC

Now, supposing that I have to give a talk in French at Aix-en-Provence (very 
nice
city!), when I open in emacs  the new file aix-beamer-fr.org this file
automatically contains  the lines defined in  my-beamer-fr.org that is
in ~/MEGA/org/my_org-templates/ . 

That is  certainly trivial  for a lot  of people in  this list  (and I
apologize), but maybe it will be helpful for others.

[O] Spurious "Non-existent agenda file" message?

[Loris Bennett]

Hi,

Suddenly, maybe after an update to Org 9.1.13, I get the error

  Non-existent agenda file refile.org.  [R]emove from list or [A]bort?

when generating the agenda.  However, the file exists (and has done for
years).  If I press 'R', the agenda is built, but the offending file is
not removed and entries from the file are included in the agenda.

The entry is the 3rd of 3 files.  I added a 4th to check whether it is
an off-by-one error, but still only the 3rd entries is considered
non-existent.

If I add a file to 'org-agenda-files' which really is missing, I get the
error, but when I press 'R' the entry really is removed from the list.
Even if I remove 'refile.org' from the list, I still get the error that
'refile.org' is missing.

Any ideas what I could try next?

Baffled,

Loris

#+END_QUOTE

Many thanks for your question. Yes, I am now always using org-mode for
my beamer presentations and my  papers. But the org-mode templates for
beamer presentations are of course  different from papers's and I want
to define different skeletons.org to  auto-insert according the fact I
am writing a new file in such or such directory. 

Suppose that, for example, I am writing a new beamer presentation, say
new-beamer-talk.org in /home/joseph/MEGA/org/beamer/, it would be nice
to get  auto-insertion of my  org template for my  beamer presentation
via a beamer-skeleton.org,  and the same thing for  a new-paper.org if
that I  want to register in  /home/joseph/MEGA/org/papers/, getting an
auto-insertion of  paper-skeleton.org for  this new-paper.org,  and so
on. I suppose that  it is possible, and even that it  is quite easy to
get it, but I do not know how to code it. 

At the moment, I am reading [[https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/AutoInsertMode]]
and [[https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/SkeletonMode]]
to find the solution. 

Help is always welcome.
