[O] Problem with ditaa when doing export from command line
I'm trying to do an export by calling emacs from the command line like so: emacs -batch --visit=myfilename --funcall org-export-as-html The export works fine except the ditaa png from ditaa source block doesn't get created. I've run the export from within emacs and the ditaa png does get created. The export also stops to present me with dialog asking whether I want to process the ditaa code, to which I respond Yes. I don't get any dialog when I do the export from the command line. Is there some way to get the ditaa code working when I do the export from the command line. I'm running this on Windows7 if that makes any difference. Thanks, Herb

Any settings you need must be on the command line, of in a separate file that you will load with emacs -batch -l settings.el . For some background info on the prompt about evaluation, check out http://orgmode.org/manual/Code-evaluation-security.html#Code-evaluation-security - Carsten P.S. How is the VIM port coming along?

P.S. How is the VIM port coming along? It's coming along slowly but fairly steadily. I'm trying to wrap up the current loose ends and get a major update out. For first time I will have menu system and some (very) basic documentation. Lack of discoverability and docs have (understandably) hindered adoption for many people so far, I think. Regards, Herb

Works fine for me here, so there is probably a syntax error in the lisp
file(s) you load or the lisp code you eval - try using a minimal setup
file as shown below:
GNU Emacs 24.0.50.1 (x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.22.0) of
2011-04-13
Org-mode version 7.5 (baseline.273.g889a48)
I do
emacs -batch --visit=foo.org -l export.el --funcall org-export-as-html
with export.el containing the following:
--8---cut here---start-8---
(setq org-confirm-babel-evaluate nil)
(require 'ob-ditaa)
(setq org-babel-temporary-directory tmp)
(setq org-ditaa-jar-path /home/nick/elisp/org-mode/contrib/scripts/ditaa.jar)
--8---cut here---end---8---
and foo.org containing the following:
--8---cut here---start-8---
* Export a picture
Need to load ob-ditaa to execute these:
#+begin_src ditaa :file image.png :cmdline -r :exports both

Did you get it to work with an --eval statement in the command line? That's probably a quoting problem (you are on Windoze, right?) The command line on Windoze sucks raw eggs (well, not just the command line, but I'm biased :-). On Linux, I used two kinds of quotes in order to protect the vulnerable characters inside each lisp sexp (you could also use backslashes strategically): emacs -batch --visit foo.org --eval '(setq org-confirm-babel-evaluate nil)'\ --eval (require 'ob-ditaa)\ --eval '(setq org-babel-temporary-directory tmp)'\ --eval '(setq org-ditaa-jar-path /home/nick/elisp/org-mode/contrib/scripts/ditaa.jar)'\ --funcall org-export-as-html Inconvenient, but it works.

You are correct, sir! Thanks, it is indeed a quoting problem. On Linux, I used two kinds of quotes in order to protect the vulnerable characters inside each lisp sexp (you could also use backslashes strategically): emacs -batch --visit foo.org --eval '(setq org-confirm-babel-evaluate nil)'\ --eval (require 'ob-ditaa)\ --eval '(setq org-babel-temporary-directory tmp)'\ --eval '(setq org-ditaa-jar-path /home/nick/elisp/org-mode/contrib/scripts/ditaa.jar)'\ --funcall org-export-as-html Inconvenient, but it works. Okay, here's what seems to work on Windoze. Don't laugh: emacs -batch --visit foo.org ^ --eval ^(setq org-confirm-babel-evaluate nil)^ ^ --eval ^(require 'ob-ditaa)^ ^ --eval ^(setq org-babel-temporary-directory \^tmp\^)^ ^ --eval ^(setq org-ditaa-jar-path \^/home/nick/elisp/org-mode /contrib/scripts/ditaa.jar\^)^ ^ --funcall org-export-as-html There is actually some reason to the rhyme, which is explained here: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/twistylittlepassagesallalike/archive/2011/04/23/everyone-quotes-arguments-the-wrong-way.aspx Thanks again. -- Herb
