org-agenda + [a] generated many duplicated task entries

org-agenda + [a] generated many duplicated task entries

[Christopher M. Miles]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 214 bytes --]


When I execute command "org-agenda" with key "[a]" to generate
org-agenda day view. Many task entries are duplicated.

Does anyone knows any related Org mode options caused this problem or
how to fix this issue.

I tried many methods trying to figure out the problem reason.

- [X] Emacs init bisect
- [X] Org mode git check out old commits
- [X] init-org-agenda.el options reset
- [X] Emacs minimal init testing -> no problem

My Emacs, Org mode environment:

- GNU Emacs 30.0.50 (build 2, aarch64-apple-darwin23.3.0, NS appkit-2487.40 Version 14.3 (Build 23D5033f)) of 2024-01-12
- Org mode version 9.7-pre (release_9.6.6-426-gba1033 @ /Users/stardiviner/Code/Emacs/org-mode/lisp/)
- My Org mode version is using latest "main" branch (commit: f22be2878)

Maybe you have something in
`org-agenda-skip-scheduled-if-deadline-is-shown' or similar customization.

These two mean that you missed something during bisection.

I customized `org-agenda-skip-scheduled-if-deadline-is-shown' to `t' in my Emacs init.

After your hints, I tested this option with different values:
`nil', `t', `not-today', `repeated-after-deadline'.

None of those value fixed my problem. So should not related to my problem.

I have customized options in my Emacs init:

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(setq org-agenda-skip-timestamp-if-done t
      org-agenda-skip-deadline-if-done t
      org-agenda-skip-deadline-prewarning-if-scheduled t
      org-agenda-skip-scheduled-if-done t
      org-agenda-skip-scheduled-delay-if-deadline 'post-deadline
      org-agenda-skip-scheduled-if-deadline-is-shown t
      org-agenda-skip-timestamp-if-deadline-is-shown t
      org-agenda-skip-additional-timestamps-same-entry nil
      org-deadline-warning-days 14
      org-agenda-tags-todo-honor-ignore-options t)

(setq org-agenda-todo-ignore-timestamp 'all
      org-agenda-todo-ignore-with-date nil
      org-agenda-todo-ignore-scheduled 'future
      org-agenda-todo-ignore-deadlines 'near)
#+end_src

But I tested by comment out those options still have same problem.

Yes, this is why I post email here for asking help. Because I can't find
out reason between Emacs init bisect & Emacs minimal init testing.

I will try more times and other methods.

I reproduced the problem with `emacs -Q` and `emacs-minimal-init`.
Then I tried to Edebug on the command function `org-agenda` -> `org-agenda-list`.
I suddenly brain come up with checking out the variable `org-agenda-files` value.
I found it contains duplicated filenames in list.
Then I added `delete-dups` function around my `org-agenda-files` value list generating.
Then the problem solved.

This is really a hard reason to find out which costed lot of time. :(

Anyway, thanks Ihor as always.
