Hello all,
I have been trying to track down a nil link on export [1]. I have been
bisecting a long document. As part of this, I commented out a src block
used elsewhere in the document. The error trace [abridged] I get upon
export is:
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument consp nil)
org-babel-exp-code(nil lob)
org-babel-exp-do-export(nil lob)
org-babel-exp-process-buffer()
org-export-as(latex nil nil nil (:output-file "t.tex"))
which was luckily just enough for me to figure out what I had done but I
think it could be more informative? E.g. it would be nice if it said
which code it tried to invoke?
Thanks,
eric
Footnotes:
[1] related problem: "Unable to resolve link: nil" is not very
informative either and it's driving me crazy! I've not yet tracked down
what the problem is but it has something to do with using my own labels
for tables. More later when I figure it out.

Could you provide an ECM?

Yes, of course:
#+begin_src org
,* Simple illustration of nil link error message
In table [[mytable]], there are some numbers
,** the table :noexport:
,#+name: mytable
| x | y |
|---+---|
| 1 | 1 |
| 2 | 4 |
,#+TBLFM: $2=$1^2
#+end_src
There is a reference to a table which is in a subtree that is not to be
exported. The error message is
user-error: Unable to resolve link: nil
This ECM may appear contrived but, when working with a large document,
it is easy to comment out or exclude sections that, it turns out, have
material within that is referenced from elsewhere. This is difficult to
track down when exporting. If the error message had "nil" above
replaced by "mytable", it would make all the difference!
Many thanks,
eric
