Capture error

Capture error

[Thomas S. Dye]

Aloha all,

With a recent make update from Git I'm getting this error when I try to
Finish (with C-c C-c) some tried and true capture templates:

org-capture-bookmark-last-stored-position: Invalid function: with-demoted-errors

Here is a backtrace:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument integer-or-marker-p nil)
  org-capture-bookmark-last-stored-position()
  org-capture-finalize(nil)
  call-interactively(org-capture-finalize nil nil)

Org-mode version 7.9.2 (release_7.9.2-535-g8fb598 @
/Users/dk/.emacs.d/src/org-mode/lisp/)

The information is captured to the file, but the capture buffer doesn't
go away.
 
All the best,
Tom

Can't see anything wrong and I cannot reproduce it. with-demoted-errors
exists in both emacs 23 and 24. It (along with other
with-... constructs) is a macro, so there may be some problem with
compilation (although I tried compiling org as well). Can you try with
uncompiled org-capture.el? The first error message seems to indicate
that o-c-b-l-s-p was compiled without knowledge of the macro, so it
assumes that it is a function that will exist at runtime.

Or perhaps starting with a fresh emacs might make the problem go away.

Hi Nick,

I tried moving org-capture.elc out of the way and reloading Org, but
with the same results.  Starting emacs again didn't make a difference.

I'm still getting org-refile: Invalid function: with-demoted-errors

All the best,
Tom

But note the different error: now org-refile complains. It may have had
the same compilation problem that the original function had. I'd suggest
cleaning out all the .elc files, trying it, and if that succeeds, remaking
from scratch.

Sharp eyes!  You must have been down this road before.

Yes, cleaning out the .elc files corrects the problem.  However, the
problem comes back with a new make update.

Thanks for your help and the interim solution.

Any idea if the compilation problem is something in my setup that I
should worry about? Or is it likely a problem with the Org build process
that will get ironed out?

All the best,
Tom

Not sure. I don't see the problem in my setup, and I believe you use emacs
on a Mac, so it *may* be specific to your setup.

OTOH, the with-demoted-errors calls were introduced recently, so there
may be a more general problem that I might not see because of
peculiarities in *my* setup.

Sorry for jumping in.,

If I happened to see something is wrong with my Emacs or org-mode (I build both
from vc heads.) I will first do git clean and build again.,

    git reset --hard
    git clean -xdf
    # (Remember both commands are destructive in a sense)

So that I can make sure my built is clean up to certain degree.

Thanks.,

No problem.  I'm happy to have your attention.

Tried this, but the problem persists.

Thanks for pointing me to the solution. The automated build was finding
the emacs that came with the Mac, which is apparently too old to know
about with-demoted-errors.  If I use local.mk to point to the emacs I'm
using from MacPorts, then do make update, all seems to be well.

All the best,
Tom
