columns view, org-lint, and native compilation

columns view, org-lint, and native compilation

[Eric S Fraga]

Hello all,

TL;DR: org-lint fails, maybe due to native compilation

Longer version: columns view (=org-columns=) doesn't work properly for
me.  If point is in some hierarchy where a higher level heading has a
COLUMNS property, that higher level heading is highlighted and columns
shown for it but none of the subheadings has its columns shown.

In starting to debug this, I decided to make sure the structure of my
file was okay so I invoked =org-lint= which then fails with back trace:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (search-failed "^[ \11]*#\\+[A-Za-z]+: + *$")
  #<subr F616e6f6e796d6f75732d6c616d626461_anonymous_lambda_9>((fixed-width [...]) "")
  #f(compiled-function (datum) #<bytecode 0x146681f219129778>)((fixed-width [...]))
  #f(compiled-function (--data) #<bytecode 0x1281a52c3b7209bc>)((fixed-width [...]))
  [...]
  org-element-map( [...] )
  org-lint--collect-duplicates([...] )
  org-lint-duplicate-name([...])
  #f(compiled-function (c) #<bytecode -0x2b3bd7f9f1a63af>)(#s(org-lint-checker :name duplicate-name :description "Report duplicate NAME values" :categories (babel link) :trust high))
  cl-mapcan(#f(compiled-function (c) #<bytecode -0x2b3bd7f9f1a63af>) [...])
  org-lint--generate-reports([...])
  org-lint--refresh-reports()
  org-lint--display-reports([...])
  org-lint(nil)

with a lot of text elided.

Before I post something to bugs @ Emacs, has anybody else had problems
with (a) org-columns and (b) org-lint, with or without native
compilation?

Thank you,
eric

This looks like some really badly parsed part of Org file. That search
is supposed to be called on an element with #+name: property. Error
means parser error.

I suggest to run =e (point) <RET>= while in backtrace and go to reveal
point in the Org file where error happens. Then, you can manually check
if the Org syntax is violated.

Hope it helps.

Best,
Ihor

Thank you.  This was helpful.  Lot's of very bad org structure in that
file (which dates back quite a few years), mostly misplaced properties
drawers, e.g. appearing after logbook drawers.

Column view still not working as it should so investigation continues!

Thanks again,
eric
