Hi!
I've had a non-working ical-export for many months and today I
invested some time to trace the issue down a bit.
Org-mode version 8.2.5h (release_8.2.5h-1015-g55bde3
GNU Emacs 24.3.50.1 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.4.2)
(defun my-export-agenda()
Exports monthly Org-mode agenda to agenda.ics file
(interactive)
(save-some-buffers)
(org-agenda-list nil nil 60)
(org-agenda-write ~/share/all/org-mode/agenda-export-raw.ics)
;; more processing afterwards skipped here
)
First I found several source-blocks where babel locked itself up
while org-agenda-list was running.
An example profiler results where babel was running in its endless
loop: [1]
I noticed messages like org-babel-exp process nil at 1234 ... and
tracked down the file where the line is located. There I found
BEGIN_SRC blocks with and without(!) language definitions for sh
(BEGIN_SRC sh), python, elisp.
Q: Why are my BEGIN_SRC blocks getting processed at all? This was once
working without babel processing them.
Q: How can I find out, in which file the line 1234 is located in?
For now, I changed those blocks to EXAMPLE blocks or placed colons
in front of every line (comments). Dirty work-around.
After this tedious job (I used many babel examples), the
org-agenda-list command finished at least.
As a work around, I eliminated those cases by moving the source
examples to other block types. I now end up in an endlessly running
org-agenda-write.
After letting it run for a couple of minutes, I aborted using C-g
and here is the profiler report for org-agenda-write: [2]
... looks like babel is turning against me again.
Q: Could this be related to (setq org-confirm-babel-evaluate nil)?
To my knowledge, this should not be any issue and I used it before
the issue appeared.
I have no idea how to trace this down any further (only small elisp
knowledge on my side).
Thanks for any input!
