Subject: org-bibtex does not work
Date: Tue, 29 Nov 2011 14:28:16 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAPaq-gN24csWDby60u_+cGrjaQhoEusCS0Bf53PdvcGUk4jbcQ@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hi all,

I finally converted all my BibTex references into a org file.
Now I face the problem that I can't generate a BibTeX file.
org-bibtex ask me for the filename and then it seems to be stuck in a
infinite loop.
Only way to get out of this is using C-g.
The BibTeX file never appeared.
setting the debugger to start on quit (setq debug-on-quit) results in

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (quit)
  bibtex-realign()
  bibtex-reformat()
  (progn (insert entry) (when tags (bibtex-beginning-of-entry) (if
(re-search-forward "keywords.*=.*{\\(.*\\)}" nil t) (progn (goto-char
(match-end 1)) (insert ", ")) (bibtex-make-field "keywords" t t))
(insert (mapconcat (function identity) tags ", "))) (bibtex-reformat)
(buffer-string))
  (unwind-protect (progn (insert entry) (when tags
(bibtex-beginning-of-entry) (if (re-search-forward
"keywords.*=.*{\\(.*\\)}" nil t) (progn (goto-char (match-end 1))
(insert ", ")) (bibtex-make-field "keywords" t t)) (insert (mapconcat
(function identity) tags ", "))) (bibtex-reformat) (buffer-string))
(and (buffer-name temp-buffer) (kill-buffer temp-buffer)))
  (save-current-buffer (set-buffer temp-buffer) (unwind-protect (progn
(insert entry) (when tags (bibtex-beginning-of-entry) (if
(re-search-forward "keywords.*=.*{\\(.*\\)}" nil t) (progn (goto-char
(match-end 1)) (insert ", ")) (bibtex-make-field "keywords" t t))
(insert (mapconcat (function identity) tags ", "))) (bibtex-reformat)
(buffer-string)) (and (buffer-name temp-buffer) (kill-buffer
temp-buffer))))

followed by many many more lines.
I tried to export a single entry in a own buffer as well without
success. I skipped my entire emacs settings and used a bare-bone emacs
with exactly the same result.
As from the debugger it seems to be a problem of the internal bibtex
mode. However, I hope someone here is capable to help. I updated both
emacs and org-mode without luck

org-mode 7.7 (git build from today)
emacs GNU Emacs 24.0.91.1 (bzr build from today)

Would be helpfull already if someone could confirm whether it works at
the moment or whether it seems broken
Thanks

Torsten
