Subject: Bug? org-id-find not finding some IDs
Date: Mon, 01 Aug 2022 18:45:37 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87r11zifjy.fsf@gmail.com> (raw)

Hello,

The documentation for org-id-extra-files suggests that org-id-find
should search in Org files visited by Emacs:

> When Org reparses files to remake the list of files and IDs it is
> tracking, it will normally scan the agenda files, the archives
> related to agenda files, ... and any Org file currently visited by
> Emacs.

But, I've found that's not true, or maybe I'm misunderstanding the
doc.

For a minimal example, put the following in test.org:

> * Headline 1
> :PROPERTIES:
> :ID:       b1569c92-3872-4ab9-80eb-274c4950991e
> :END:

Then:

1. emacs -Q test.org
2. C-x b *scratch*
3. M-: (org-id-find "b1569c92-3872-4ab9-80eb-274c4950991e")

Which returns nil. Also, "C-h v org-id-files" doesn't contain
test.org.

Or maybe the docstring for org-id-extra-files should be rewritten to
say "the current buffer" instead of "any Org file currently visited"?

Also, this seems to be the cause of this bug in org-caldav, which is
how I ran into it:
https://github.com/dengste/org-caldav/issues/230

Would there a recommended mitigation for this on org-caldav's side? I'm
thinking it could call

(org-id-update-id-locations org-caldav-files)

early on, to make sure org-caldav-files ends up in org-id-files.

Tested on following versions:
GNU Emacs 28.1 (build 2, x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, X toolkit, cairo version 1.17.6, Xaw3d scroll bars) of 2022-07-10
Org mode version 9.5.2 (release_9.5.2-25-gaf6f12 @ /usr/share/emacs/28.1/lisp/org/)
Org mode version 9.5.4 (release_9.5.4-702-g5a49cc @ /home/jack/dev/org-mode/lisp/)
