Subject: file-truename: Variable binding depth exceeds max-specpdl-size when tangling
Date: Wed, 20 Aug 2014 16:19:21 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAAjq1mf2hVDOEY+2LM9LKbnW=MkE72icg-VqeiAGgXwSc37h0Q@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Good afternoon,

While debugging one of my babel documents, I re-read [this]
documentation on `:noweb-ref'.

What I had wanted to do was to define a bunch of source blocks and then
at the end of the heading to tangle them all into a file. This was just
a natural thing to do while /in the flow/ and *not* thinking about the
document structure.

Here is the simplest possible example.

,----
|
| * Demo
|   :PROPERTIES:
|   :noweb-ref: demo
|   :END:
|
| #+begin_src emacs-lisp
| (message "demo")
| #+end_src
|
| #+begin_src emacs-lisp
| (message "this")
| #+end_src
|
| #+begin_src sh :tangle ~/tmp/demo.el :noweb yes
| «demo»
| #+end_src
`----


  When you try and tangle this, you get the error:

        file-truename: Variable binding depth exceeds
        max-specpdl-size

  You can increase the size but it will run out:
  ╭────
  │ (setq max-specpdl-size 1500)
  ╰────

  Feel like I have caused an endless loop by asking babel to collect all
  references to `demo' and place them inside of a sourceblock, when that
  sourceblock itself will be collected. That said, I'm not sure where to
  go next and simply moved it up one heading.

  Questions:
  • What did I do wrong here?
  • Am I the only one to ever encounter this?
    • Web search did not reveal a lot quickly

  Here is the org and emacs version
  ╭────
  │ (org-version nil t)
  ╰────

  ╭────

  Kind regards,
