* Spurious "Non-existent agenda file" message? @ 2018-06-08 7:38 Loris Bennett 2018-06-08 14:46 ` John Kitchin 0 siblings, 1 reply; 3+ messages in thread From: Loris Bennett @ 2018-06-08 7:38 UTC (permalink / raw) To: emacs-orgmode Hi, Suddenly, maybe after an update to Org 9.1.13, I get the error Non-existent agenda file refile.org. [R]emove from list or [A]bort? when generating the agenda. However, the file exists (and has done for years). If I press 'R', the agenda is built, but the offending file is not removed and entries from the file are included in the agenda. The entry is the 3rd of 3 files. I added a 4th to check whether it is an off-by-one error, but still only the 3rd entries is considered non-existent. If I add a file to 'org-agenda-files' which really is missing, I get the error, but when I press 'R' the entry really is removed from the list. Even if I remove 'refile.org' from the list, I still get the error that 'refile.org' is missing. Any ideas what I could try next?

This can happen when I start a new org file and try to do some agenda thing before I save it, or when some function/process opens an org-file in a new directory for example, and an agenda thing happens before it has been saved. You could check to see if there is a refile.org buffer open (not necessarily to the existing file, just one named refile.org) but that has not been saved. I don't know why such a buffer would be open, but if it is, it might be a cause of that problem.

However, I couldn't provoke the error by creating unsaved buffer with the appropriate name, but I shall look more carefully at what buffers are open next time the problem crops up.
