Subject: [PATCH] Fixing a regression in org-persists ability to handle non-list container arguments.
Date: Wed, 18 Sep 2024 02:24:58 +0200 (CEST)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <O71W8io--B-9@phdk.org> (raw)

Hello org-mode mailing list

Long time, first time. This is just a tiny patch fixing a regression
in org-persist--find-index that was missed in the 95f77669e0 bugfix. It affects
calls to org-persist-read that don't use a list of containers,
e.g. those in ox-latex's precompile function.

I was having some issues getting the org-latex-preview branch to run
smoothly when the xref-find-def trail led me to realize that it wasn't
just my setup causing trouble. In the process of compiling a bug
report I ended up fixing it on my end and thought I might as well send
it your way and save sombody else the trouble. I took the liberty of
clarifying a related comment that confused me a bit while working out
the logic of the function.

(This is just a quick fix of the specific regression, a more proper
solution would probably move all the logic concerning container lists
further up in the chain. However, actually doing something like
rewriting o-p--normalize-container to achieve that is above my
pay-grade. My experience writing elisp basically comes from writing a
few advice-hacks to get stuff to do what I want, so feel free to
reject and forget if you think this deserves a full treatment.)

MWE running with -Q and org compiled from git (taken from the
examples in org-persist documentation):
  (let ((info1 "test")
        (info2 "test 2"))
    (org-persist-register
     `("Named data" (elisp info1 local) (elisp info2 local))
     nil :write-immediately t))
  (org-persist-read
   "Named data"
   nil nil nil :read-related t)

Expected result: org-persist-read will return ("Named data" "test" "test 2")
Current result: it returns nil

Kind regards,
LRA

P.S. Thank you all for all the hard work you put into this
wonderful tool. It does not go unappreciated!
