Hi all,

I use an own function to save the current agenta to a text file, which I
display in a tooltip on my desktop:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(defun th-org-mode-init ()
  (add-hook 'after-save-hook 'th-org-update-agenda-file t t))

(add-hook 'org-mode-hook 'th-org-mode-init)

;; TODO: This errors when calling C-x s after modifying things in the agenda.
(defun th-org-update-agenda-file (&optional force)
  (interactive)
  (when (and (eq major-mode 'org-mode)
             (member buffer-file-name org-agenda-files))
    (save-excursion
      (save-window-excursion
        (let ((file "/tmp/org-agenda.txt"))
          (org-agenda-list)
          (org-write-agenda file))))))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

This works fine when I save an agenda file while in its buffer, but when
I edit the file via agenda commands and hit `C-x s', I'm asked if I want
to save "/home/horn/repos/org/uni.org" and say yes, I get this error:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "Agenda file /home/horn/repos/org/uni.org is not in `org-mode'")
  signal(error ("Agenda file /home/horn/repos/org/uni.org is not in `org-mode'"))

  (save-excursion (save-window-excursion (let ... ... ...)))
  (progn (save-excursion (save-window-excursion ...)))
  (if (and (eq major-mode ...) (member buffer-file-name org-agenda-files)) (progn (save-excursion ...)))
  (when (and (eq major-mode ...) (member buffer-file-name org-agenda-files)) (save-excursion (save-window-excursion ...)))

  byte-code("...")

  call-interactively(save-some-buffers nil nil)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

I'm not sure what's the problem here.  /home/horn/repos/org/uni.org is
surely in org-mode!

Any help on that?

Bye,
Tassilo

Just a short addition: If I answer yes and get this error, the buffer
contents (and file contents) of uni.org are "Week-agenda (W20):\n".
Thanks I have all my agenda files in git and commit regularly!

This probably happens because you are relying on org-agenda-list which  
is supposed to display the agenda window and in this way set the  
selected window and buffer.  In non-interactive use, the buffer is  
created, but display is delayed until after the next idle moment.

Not tested, but this may help:

Replace (org-agenda-write) with this:

(with-current-buffer org-agenda-buffer-name (org-write-agenda file))

No, I'm sorry.  I still get the error, and it's already triggered in the
call to `org-agenda-list' before `org-write-agenda' is called.  The
error is thrown in `org-agenda-get-day-entries'.

Did you restart Emacs?  My idea was that the first time you call this,  
you change the file name of a buffer, and the second time the problem  
happens.

First, I only evaled my function anew, but now I tried with a new emacs
instance and the error is still the same.

But now I can see what happens (but I don't have a solution right now):

  - `C-x s' saves the modified org buffer (I checked that the changes
    are saved to disk)

  - my function is triggered cause it's in `after-save-hook' buffer
    locally

  - somehow the buffer associated with the saved org file uni.org is
    erased and org tries to insert an agendo into this buffer (only one
    propertized line)

           Week-agenda (W20):

    and the major mode is now `org-agenda-mode', which results in the
    error I posted when org tries to create the agenda page.

Bye,
Tassilo

Calling such functions recursively is never a good idea, even if
it is accidental recursion in this case.

You could and should turn off your hook function in after-safe-hook
for the duration of your command.  On common way to do this is to
make it dependent on a variable and bind this variable dynamically
while you run the hook function


Like

(defvar do-my-hook t)

...

(defun th-org-update-agenda-file (&optional force)
(interactive)
(when (and do-my-hook
            (eq major-mode 'org-mode)
            (member buffer-file-name org-agenda-files))
   (save-excursion
     (save-window-excursion
       (let ((do-my-hook nil)
	     (file "/tmp/org-agenda.txt"))
         (org-agenda-list)
         (org-write-agenda file))))))
