Org-mode version 7.4 (release_7.4.348.g6132)


Dear all,

I am preparing a document which contains text and R code/output. In 
particular, I'd like to print out a (correlation) matrix. This is my 
org-mode document (I intentionally have two code blocks):

#----------------------------------------------------------
#+ Does not work

#+BABEL: :session *R*
#+BEGIN_SRC R :results silent :tangle simcorrdata.R
cormat <- c(1.0,  0.2,  0.4,
             0.2,  1.0, -0.3,
             0.4, -0.3,  1.0)
cormat <- matrix(cormat, ncol = 3, byrow = TRUE)
#+END_SRC

So, the correlation matrix looks as follows:

#+BEGIN_SRC R :exports both :tangle simcorrdata.R
print(cormat)
#+END_SRC
#----------------------------------------------------------

Since I have two code blocks, I need to use :session. If I define 
:session buffer-wide as

#+BABEL: :session *R*

then the matrix cormat is unknown within the second code block ("object 
'cormat' not found"). However, if I specify :session for each code block 
seperately then it works as expected.

#----------------------------------------------------------
#+ Does work

#+BEGIN_SRC R :session :results silent :tangle simcorrdata.R
cormat <- c(1.0,  0.2,  0.4,
             0.2,  1.0, -0.3,
             0.4, -0.3,  1.0)
cormat <- matrix(cormat, ncol = 3, byrow = TRUE)
#+END_SRC

So, the correlation matrix looks as follows:

#+BEGIN_SRC R :session :exports both :tangle simcorrdata.R
print(cormat)
#+END_SRC
#----------------------------------------------------------


Does this happen due to my poor understanding of the :session argument? 
Or is this a bug?

Thanks for your help,

Bernd

  Hi Bernd,
  
  The above does work for me. Some things to check:
  
  1. After altering the #+BABEL line, it's necessary to refresh Org's
     file-local options, for example with C-c C-c on the #+BABEL
     line. (Same is true for #+OPTIONS, #+PROPERTY, etc)
  
  2. I've just fixed a bug which was causing it to fail to work on the
     first attempt... But it did work on second and subsequent attempts.
  
  Please note that it is possible to make an equivalent setting using 
  
  #+PROPERTY: session *R*
  
  In fact, I suspect we are going to drop #+BABEL entirely, so please
  consider it deprecated and use this form instead.
  
  After evaluating the first block, an ESS R buffer named *R* should
  exist, in which the variable cormat should be defined. Let me know if
  your problem persists.
  
  Dan

    Hi Dan,
    
    Thanks for your reply. Using
    
    #+PROPERTY: session *R*
    
    (and running another =git pull origin master=) solved all my problems.
    
    Thanks,
    
    Bernd
