[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 968 bytes --]

Hello!

I have a document that always throws an error when I call
org-babel-execute-buffer.  I'd guess that there's one particular block
that is to blame, but I can't tell which block babel is in at the point
when the error is thrown.

The error is:

#v+
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (invalid-function org-save-outline-visibility)
  org-save-outline-visibility(t 1 nil nil)
  org-babel-execute-buffer(nil)
  call-interactively(org-babel-execute-buffer nil nil)
#v-

Looking at the macro for org-save-outline-visibility, I think the
problem has to do with the last two arguments being passed in as nil
nil.  I don't, however, know how this is happening.

I know that I probably haven't given enough information to actually
diagnose this bug.  Can anyone give me a hand on what my next debugging
step should be for this problem?

Thanks,
/au

  Have you tried C-c C-c on each source block in the buffer? If one (or more)
  fails, you know what to do.
  
  If they all work fine, then I'd do a binary chop to get a minimal
  example.  Then edebug org-babel-execute-buffer on the minimal example
  (if the macro causes problems with edebug, define a new function,
  org-babel-execute-buffer-do-not-save-outline-visibility, which does not
  invoke the macro and debug that: if that works, then there is probably
  some funky interaction with the macro.) In each iteration of the loop,
  record the beginning of the match and the end of the match: that'll tell
  you which block is being executed.
  
  The simplest solution of course is to send the whole thing to Eric
  S. :-) [1]
  
  HTH,

    I went back and named all of my source blocks so that I would get some
    debugging information from the *Messages* buffer.  The error is thrown
    when org-babel-execute-buffer has executed the last block in the file.
    The error is not thrown when I evaluate any single block individually.
    
    I'll try more of your suggestions later.
    
    Thanks,
    /au

  I think this is a bug: org-save-outline-visibility is indeed a macro,
  defined in org.el, but ob.el does not require org.el, so when it is
  compiled, the compiler thinks it's a function that will be defined elsewhere.
  If the uncompiled ob.el is loaded, there should be no problem.
  
  Two possible solutions:
  
  - (require 'org) in ob.el.
  - move the definition of the macro to org-macs.el (which is required by ob.el
    *and* org.el.)
  
  I'd vote for the second, but Carsten and/or Eric might have a different
  preference.
  
  Nick

    Hi Nick,
    
    Thanks for hunting this bug down.

    This first solution can't work, because org.el requires ob.el, and
    circular requires are not allowed.

    I agree this sounds like a good solution, if Carsten agrees then I will
    apply it.
    
    Thanks -- Eric
