Subject: Bug: New keywords for org-agenda-sorting-strategy give "wrong type argument" error [8.0 (release_8.0-1-g5ef07d @ /home/rwl/src/org-mode/lisp/)]
Date: Fri, 19 Apr 2013 18:23:43 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87bo9a571c.fsf@aristotle.i-did-not-set--mail-host-address--so-tickle-me> (raw)
Dear Org team,
I think I have found a bug related to the new agenda sorting strategies.
When I set:
(setq org-agenda-sorting-strategy '(deadline-up))
; or deadline-down, or timestamp-up/down, or scheduled-up/down, etc.
; the same problem occurs using the '((agenda deadline-up) ...) form
it results in the following error:
"org-entries-lessp: Wrong type argument: stringp, nil"
and no entries are displayed in the agenda.
Some crude debugging on my part suggests that this error is triggered
when org-entries-lessp tries to compare the "now" line (i.e., the agenda
item generated from org-agenda-current-time-string) against another
item.
I think the problem is actually in org-cmp-ts: string-match doesn't like
getting nil as an argument. So maybe the problem is that the "now" line
doesn't have the text properties corresponding to deadlines, timestamps,
etc., such that get-text-property is returning nil?
Hope that's helpful! Please let me know if I can help with further
debugging.
Best,
Richard
