Hi,
When I do C-c c, I got an error:
org-capture-expand-file: Invalid file location: nil
But (org-capture-expand-file "") returns the expected value. And the file
does exist. But (org-capture-expand-file nil) raise an error. So I guess
the function was given an erroneous value.
My relevant settings are:
(org-capture-templates
(quote
(("t" "Task" entry
(file+headline nil "Tasks")
"* TODO %? %^g")
("q" "Quick note" entry
(file+datetree nil)
"* [%<%H:%M>] %?"))))
(setq org-default-notes-file (concat org-directory "/.notes"))
I did not change my configurations for a long time. Maybe some of them are
outdated?
Thanks,
David

This seems expected according to the docstring.

Have you tried to specify an actual filename, or the empty string,
instead of using nil? Both `file+headline' and `file+datetree' expect
some file to operate on.

Hi Nicolas,
Sorry, I missed this one.
(global-set-key (kbd "C-c c") 'org-capture)
OK, thanks for the tip. The problem lies in the "org-capture-templates"
settings. I think in the past, it accept a "nil" argument. Now it expects
an empty string. Replacing nil with empty string solves my problem.
Regards,
David
