Hi all,

I am being unable to make nested calls work. Here is a minimal snippet:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
#+NAME: foo
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
"foo"
#+END_SRC

#+NAME: bar
#+CALL: foo()

#+RESULTS: bar
: foo

#+CALL: bar()

#+RESULTS:
: nil
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Why does the last call (to bar) return nil instead of the result of bar
(which is "foo")? Actually, if I remove foo altogether, executing "bar"
block gives an error, but executing the last call to "bar" still works
(and still returns nil).

Are nested calls supported at all?

Thanks,

Carlos

Your example works for me. viz, the call to bar returns "foo" (not nil).

MacOS 10.14.6, Emacs 26.1, org release_9.2.6-534-g6f32e7

HTH,

Chuck

thanks for checking. I was using 25.3. I have now upgraded to 26.3 and
it works as expected :)
