Subject: Bug: habit: better error handling required [TAG=7.01g]
Date: Tue, 24 Aug 2010 11:56:16 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100824115616.T1L77.22653.root@nskntwebs04p> (raw)

Hi org-mode people,

Whilst playing with the "shaving" example from
http://orgmode.org/manual/Tracking-your-habits.html I accidentally put a
bad character in the SCHEDULED timestamp.

Instead of: "SCHEDULED: <2010-08-26 Thu .+2d/4d>"
I had:      "SCHEDULED: <2010-08-26 Thu .+2nd/4d>"

When trying to view my agenda, I was presented with a blank agenda and Emacs
very quietly reported:
    "org-habit-duration-to-days: Wrong type argument: stringp, nil"
which is not really helpful.

Removing the bad character fixes the issue, and I can duplicate the error
condition as described above.

Perhaps some better error trapping could be done?


Regards,
Paul.
