Hi list,
as part of learning org I'm trying to configure it so that state changes
trigger clocking in/out tasks.
Why testing workflow is:
#+TODO: TODO(t) STRT(s!) PAUS(p!) WAIT(w!) | DONE(d!) CANC(c!)
What I try to accomplish:
* entering STRT pauses the active task (if any) and clocks-in the
current task.
* entering PAUS or WAIT clocks-out the current task (if clocking the
current task).
* entering TODO probably should reset the current task but I don't care
at that point.
Changing state and clocking in/out works great but logging is weird:
* Tasks
** STRT first task
- State "STRT" from "TODO" [2014-08-26 dt 12:27]
:20:
CLOCK: [2014-08-26 dt 12:27]
:END:
** TODO second task
Now I change "second task" from TODO to STRT:
* Tasks
** PAUS first task
- State "PAUS" from "STRT" [2014-08-26 dt 12:28]
- State "STRT" from "TODO" [2014-08-26 dt 12:27]
:20:
CLOCK: [2014-08-26 dt 12:27]--[2014-08-26 dt 12:28] => 0:01
:END:
** STRT second task
:20:
CLOCK: [2014-08-26 dt 12:28]
:END:
"first taks" gets paused and "second task" is started and clocking but
no logging "State 'STRT' from 'TODO' ..." is added to "second task".
Starting a task only logs in the other task.
After 6 hours struggling with that (clocked with org :) ) I can't figure
why that's happening. Any clue?
Thanks in advance
Here's the code:
(defvar arv/org-todo-entering-state-clocking-actions
'(("STRT" . start)
("PAUS" . stop)
("WAIT" . stop)))
(defvar arv/org-todo-state-change-triggers-clocking-enabled t)
(defvar arv/org-todo-paused-state "PAUS")
(defun arv/org-todo--pause-other-task ()
(when (org-clock-is-active)
(save-excursion
(org-clock-goto)
(org-clock-out)
(let ((arv/org-todo-state-change-triggers-clocking-enabled nil))
; avoid recursion
(org-todo arv/org-todo-paused-state)))))
(defun arv/org-todo--state-change (from to)
(when (and arv/org-todo-state-change-triggers-clocking-enabled
(not (string= from to)))
(let ((action (cdr (assoc to
arv/org-todo-entering-state-clocking-actions))))
(unless (null action)
(cond
((eq action 'start)
(arv/org-todo--pause-other-task)
(org-clock-in))
((eq action 'stop)
(let ((org-state "DONE") ; hackish, review
(org-clock-out-when-done t))
(org-clock-out-if-current)))
(t (user-error "Unknown action.")))))))
(defun arv/org-todo--state-change-trigger (p)
(let ((type (plist-get p :type))
(from (plist-get p :from))
(to (plist-get p :to)))
(when (eq type 'todo-state-change)
(arv/org-todo--state-change from to))))
(add-hook 'org-trigger-hook 'arv/org-todo--state-change-trigger)

Hi list,
after struggling a bit with edebug (too many things to learn) I have
traced what the problem is. For the archives:
State-change logging is deferred until the command finishes and is
implemented by the function 'org-add-log-setup' adding the function
'org-add-log-note' to the hook 'post-command-hook'. The details of the
note are stored in global variables 'org-log-note-xxx'.
That implementation prevents recursive calls to 'org-todo' (that's what
my code does in order the pause the active task) from logging both the
paused and the started log messages.
'org-add-log-note' will be called only once since the hook won't accept
duplicated entries. Anyway, the innermost call to 'org-add-log-setup'
will overwrite the variables 'org-log-note-xxx' with the details of the
note being paused.
The outcome is that only the state change for the paused note is being
logged.
Now that I know what the problem is I only have to figure a workaround.
Any clue?
Regards
