tab completion for org-contacts not working for me in emacs 24

tab completion for org-contacts not working for me in emacs 24

[Andreas Reuleaux]

I have just downloaded org-contacts.el

load it in my .emacs/init.el like this


 (setq load-path (cons "~/cfg/emacs/el/org" load-path))
    (require 'org-contacts)
    (setq org-contact-files (list
			     "~/work/org/contacts.org"
			     ))


and have a minimal ~/work/org/contacts.org file as described
in the manual

  https://julien.danjou.info/projects/emacs-packages#org-contacts

Now in gnus, in a new message that I am creating if I type +<tab> in the
To: field, something is happening:

I get a message:

  Updating Org Contacts Database...done

and my curser moves a tab, leaving me with

  To: +    <curser here>

just no contacts / tags are found!?

I *am* using emacs24, a recent one in fact: 24.4.50.1

(I saw some similar messages of people having difficultis of
getting org-contacts to work nicely with gnus together, who were
using using emacs 23, and that turned out to be the problem, not in my
case).

Thanks.

For me this is org-contacts-files, maybe that is the problem?

HTH,
