Subject: org-unmodified asks to revert buffer if file was modified outside emacs
Date: Tue, 15 Jan 2013 18:46:56 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87txqiibjj.fsf@yahoo.fr> (raw)
Hello,
Short story is : if you call org-agenda-list and some agenda files have
been modified outside emacs (e.g. by some revision control system), the
command fails if the user choose to revert the file when asked, leaving
a blank agenda in which 'g' does not work. Does it need a fix ? Which
fix ?
Here is the recipe, from emacs -Q :
(require 'org)
(setq org-agenda-files (list (make-temp-file "test" nil ".org")))
;; the file must be non empty...
(with-temp-file (car org-agenda-files) (insert "foo"))
;; ...and visited
(find-file-noselect (car org-agenda-files))
(progn
;; modify from outside emacs, randomly.
(shell-command (format "echo '%S' > %s" (current-time) (car org-agenda-files)))
(org-agenda-list))
At this point, you are asked a question :
testsomething.org changed on disk; really edit the buffer? (y, n, r or
C-h)
If you say 'y' (3 times), you get an agenda. If you say 'n' or 'r', you
get an empty window in which 'g' produces an error.
I'm not sure what is the best way to fix this. Does "fix" mean avoid the
blank window or make sure that 'g' never produces an error ?
Obviously (global-)auto-revert-mode could be part of the solution.
Another possibility is that org-unmodified should in fact make sure that
the buffer should be modifiable without a warning (that's the approach
of the patch below). Or the code using org-unmodified should do that on
its own if it needs to. Or we could catch the 'file-supersession signal,
but in this case we need a way to discriminate between the user having
chosen 'n' or 'r' (i.e. if trying to modify the buffer again will in
fact annoy the user or not). Or we can leave things as they are, but I
think we still need to avoid the error produced by 'g' in the blank
agenda buffer.
Anyway, here's a patch that modifies org-unmodified as proposed above. I
noticed, while writing this, that at multiple places, (buffer-modified-p)
is manually saved and restored. Should these make use of (org-unmodified) ?

Subject: [PATCH] Do not let org-agenda-list ask for buffer reversion.
* lisp/org-macs.el (ask-user-about-supersession-threat): Advice to
suppress warning when a buffer is going to be modified while it was
already modified outside emacs.
(org-unmodified): Use the above advice to allow buffer modifications
with no warning.
* lisp/org.el (org-agenda-prepare-buffers): Use org-unmodified instead
of changing buffer-modified-p manually.
