I am trying to run `org-capture` to capture a journal entry but
`org-capture` always aborts with the following trace:
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "Capture abort:
(wrong-type-argument stringp nil)")
signal(error ("Capture abort: (wrong-type-argument stringp nil)"))
error("Capture abort: %s" (wrong-type-argument stringp nil))
org-capture(nil)
funcall-interactively(org-capture nil)
call-interactively(org-capture nil nil)
command-execute(org-capture)
Is there a problem with my settings? I am using the template suggested
in the manual.
Thanks,
Simao

You are not using the template suggested in the manual. Your capture
location is "~/Sync/journal.org.txt", which is not in Org mode. You
cannot create a tree there if it is not the case.
I improved the error message returned by Org capture under those
circumstances. Thank you.

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
I only changed the location of the journal file.
org-mode actually creates the file and the right heading:
* 2017
** 2017-01 January
*** 2017-01-11 Wednesday
But then this error is thrown.
What do you mean the file is not in org mode? How do I add it to org
mode?
Thanks

Worse, you changed the extension, which means the major mode used after
opening the file is different.

This error means `org-todo-line-regexp' is not defined, because the
major mode in this file is not `org-mode'

See (info "(org) Activation")
You can use Org as a major-mode file-wise or for every file with ".txt" extension.

Ah that's what you meant. Yeah but I am activating org-mode for org.txt
files:
(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.org$" . org-mode))
(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.org.txt$" . org-mode))
And if I open the journal file it indeed has org-mode active.
Thanks

Then, you could try upgrading Org to 9.0.

I was using the version bundled with emacs 25. I upgraded to org 9.0.3
and I still get the same problem. Is there a way to get a better trace
or something?

Ok I found out the problem.
I was using the following hook:
(defun sm-mozilla-text-hook ()
(when (string-match (expand-file-name "~/.mozilla/firefox")
(buffer-file-name))
(longlines-mode 1)))
(add-hook 'text-mode-hook 'sm-mozilla-text-hook)
But for the capture buffer, buffer-file-name is nil so this fails. Using
`or` there fixes it.
Anyway I am just surprised that this worked for so long, I have had this
hook for years and use these kind of buffers all the time. I guess I
should be using.
Thank you for looking into it.
