Subject: Patch: Customize failure for org-agenda-custom-commands
Date: Mon, 19 Mar 2012 17:23:45 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4F67A3E1.4060703@gmail.com> (raw)

The Customize interface for org-agenda-custom-commands fails for agenda commands with an org-agenda-entry-types command option.  The reason it fails is that the org-agenda-entry-types option should be a quoted list, but the defcustom expression doesn't add the quote properly.  A patch is below.

To reproduce the error:
1. M-x customize-variable RET org-agenda-custom-commands
2. Click the first INS button
3. Choose a convenient access key and description (or leave them as defaults -- I used access key "x")
4. Click the second Value Menu button (currently set to "Tags/Property match (all agenda files)") and choose "Agenda"
5. Under "Local settings for this command. Remember to quote values:", click INS
6. Click the new Value Menu button and choose "Set daily/weekly entry types"
7. C-c C-c   (sets Customize variable for the current session)
8. M-x org-agenda RET x (or just C-c a x) -- you'll get an empty agenda buffer and the error message "Symbol's function definition is void: :deadline".

I haven't checked whether there are other quoting issues in the customization definition for org-agenda-custom-commands but thought I would submit the patch anyway.

Joe V.
