Re: org-capture exists with "Capture abort: (wrong type argument...)"

[Simao <smm@imap.cc>]

Ok I found out the problem.

I was using the following hook:

(defun sm-mozilla-text-hook ()
  (when (string-match (expand-file-name "~/.mozilla/firefox")
  (buffer-file-name))
    (longlines-mode 1)))

(add-hook 'text-mode-hook 'sm-mozilla-text-hook)

But for the capture buffer, buffer-file-name is nil so this fails. Using
`or` there fixes it.

Anyway I am just surprised that this worked for so long, I have had this
hook for years and use these kind of buffers all the time. I guess I
should be using.

Thank you for looking into it.
