Subject: M-x org-publish in 8.3.1 results in error "org-check-agenda-file: Wrong type argument: stringp, nil"
Date: Sat, 15 Aug 2015 02:51:22 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <55CEE16A.3070309@gmail.com> (raw)

Hello,

In Emacs 24.5.1, after updating to the latest Org mode in ELPA
(8.3.1-16-gf6aa53-elpa), org-publish results in the error

"org-check-agenda-file: Wrong type argument: stringp, nil"

on a project that used to publish without errors using the latest Org 8.2.

Here is the part of a backtrace of the error (using M-x
toggle-debug-on-error) that I believe is relevant

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument stringp nil)
  file-exists-p(nil)
  org-check-agenda-file(nil)
  byte-code("")

org-current-level] 2])
    call-interactively(org-publish record nil)
  command-execute(org-publish record)
  execute-extended-command(nil "org-publish")


I had to remove the arguments of byte-code() because they contained
special characters that couldn't be pasted in email.

Searching for this error, the only instance I could find was at

https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2014-11/msg00343.html

reporting a the same error message, but the solution suggested there
is already implemented in 8.3 as a fix and is not applicable in this
case.

The relevant part of org.el is


(defun org-check-agenda-file (file)
  "Make sure FILE exists.  If not, ask user what to do."
  (when (not (file-exists-p file))
    (message "Non-existent agenda file %s.  [R]emove from list or [A]bort?"
	     (abbreviate-file-name file))
    (let ((r (downcase (read-char-exclusive))))
      (cond
       ((equal r ?r)
	(org-remove-file file)
	(throw 'nextfile t))
       (t (user-error "Abort"))))))


How can I solve this problem?

Thanks,

Omid
