Hi all,
Has anyone successfully exported and evaluated src blocks with graphviz dot code?
I'm trying to export this block
#+BEGIN_SRC dot :export both
digraph G {
A -> B
}
#+END_SRC
and I'm getting the error
org-babel-exp processing...
executing Dot code block...
file-name-extension: Wrong type argument: stringp, nil
How do you debug such problems?
Regards,
Dmitri

You need a :file parameter:
#+BEGIN_SRC dot :file test.png :export both
digraph G {
A -> B
}
#+END_SRC

Aloha Dmitri,
Currently, you can debug such problems by looking at the source code of
ob-dot.el. Or, by asking the list, as you did.
Your example is lacking a :file header argument. dot source code blocks
produce graphics files and babel leaves it to the user to name the
output file. The file-name-extension function is looking for the value
of the :file header argument, so that it can configure the call to dot.
It is expecting to see a string, but gets nil because the header
argument is absent.
Also, the correct keyword is :exports, with a final "s".
You can find an example of dot code use here:

Tom

Hi Tom and Bastien,
Thank you, your answers helped a lot.
My fault that I used "export" not "exports" and that I didn't read the section Specific header arguments in the Org manual.
Thanks!
Dmitri
