[Proposal] Make header argument :mkdirp yes work for other header arguments not just :tangle

[Proposal] Make header argument :mkdirp yes work for other header arguments not just :tangle

[Christopher M. Miles]

I hope `:mkdirp` header argument can also work for other related header
arguments like `:dir`, `:file` etc not just `:tangle`. Like following
example.

#+begin_src sh :mkdirp yes :dir "data/code/mkdirp/dir" :file "test" :results file link
echo "hello"
#+end_src

Do you have any idea about this?

I made a patch for make ~:mkdir~ support for ~:dir~ header argument. But I still got
some issues. I added patch in attachment.

I can't run through many org babel related tests. When I revert my patch in
source code, and run test again, the failed tests all passed. So the problem is
in my code, but I don't understand where's wrong. The ~let~ form suppose to return
~default-directory~ correctly.

Even I run the single test with "test-dirty", It seems don't report fail or
success status in output:

Here is the command I run and the command output:

#+begin_src sh :dir "~/Code/Emacs/org-mode" :async
make BTEST_RE="test-org-core/dir-mkdirp" test-dirty 2>&1 | cat
#+end_src

I figured out previous question now, it's because ~expand-file-name~ on ~nil~.

    #+begin_example
    Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument stringp nil)
      expand-file-name(nil)
      (file-name-as-directory (expand-file-name dir))
      (let ((mkdirp (cdr (assq :mkdirp params))) (fnd (file-name-as-directory (expand-file-name dir)))) (if (and (string= mkdirp "yes") fnd) (make-directory fnd 'parents)) (or (and dir (file-name-as-directory (expand-file-name dir))) default-directory))'
    #+end_example

After fix, the patch works fine and passed all tests include my write corresponding test.

[FEATURE] Make header argument :mkdirp yes work for other header arguments not just :tangle

[stardiviner]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 428 bytes --]


I hope ~:mkdirp~ header argument can also work for other related header arguments
like ~:dir~, ~:file~ etc not just ~:tangle~. Like following example.

#+begin_src sh :mkdirp yes :dir "data/code/mkdirp/dir" :file "test" :results file link
echo "hello"
#+end_src

So I added a simple patch to make it work.

(I posted message before, but I forgot to update the subject which might be
ignored, so I post a new one again.)

Please also support "t" and "nil", or, more generally, make "no" and
"nil" equivalent, and anything else would be "t".

Tests are in "test-ob.el" file. You should add yours there instead of
creating a new file.

Nitpick: `should' is better outside `org-test-with-temp-text'?

Could you send an updated patch?

I use ~cond~ to handle this. Don't know whether have better. I can use ~if~ to
exclusive on "no" and "nil". But it is not robust.

I though it is "test-ob-core.el", but have not found it. So I created a new one. :)

No need to declare changes in changes file. This could end up in an
infloop.

I used:

		    (progn
		      (let ((d (file-name-as-directory

Do we need to make a case when dir is a remote?

I indeed have this thought of code too. But later changed still. I'm not good at
Elisp yet, so hard to figure out which style code is better. I will keep
learning. Thanks for your advice and teaching.

> Do we need to make a case when dir is a remote?

Absolutely, some people use remote dir very often, myself too. I use literate
programming in Org Mode, so TRAMP etc support is very necessary. But I don't
know how to support for remote dir.

Learned. I will check out to learn a bit of ert testing framework in recently.

[Discuss] make :tangle header argument respect :dir could save info typing

[stardiviner]

I realized one thing, the combination of ~:mkdir~, ~:dir~, and ~:tangle~ does not work
good enough. Can make ~:tangle~ respect ~:dir~ too. WDYT?

Here is an example:

#+begin_src clojure :mkdirp yes :dir "data/code/clj-crawler-demo" :tangle "src/clj_crawler_demo/core.clj"
(ns clj-crawler-demo.core
  (:require [clj-http.client :as http])
  (:require [net.cgrand.enlive-html :as html]))

(html/select
 (-> (http/get "https://www.baidu.com")
     :body
     html/html-snippet)
 [:div])
#+end_src

Why need this? If ~:tangle~ respect ~:dir~, it will don't need the complete path to
tangled file. And when the source block has other header argument need dir like
~:file~, this will make ~:tangle~ and other related header arguments shorter.

If ~:tangle~ does not respect ~:dir~, user need to repeat the path:

#+begin_src clojure :mkdirp yes :dir "data/code/clj-crawler-demo" :tangle "data/code/clj-crawler-demo/src/clj_crawler_demo/core.clj"
(ns clj-crawler-demo.core
  (:require [clj-http.client :as http])
  (:require [net.cgrand.enlive-html :as html]))

(html/select
 (-> (http/get "https://www.baidu.com")
     :body
     html/html-snippet)
 [:div])
#+end_src

This is long, I know there is ~#+headers:~ for source block. But reduce info would
be better. I also consider the disadvantage of this change. Some user's existing
source block might be broken.

Let's level this change for discussion.

Re: [Discuss] make :tangle header argument respect :dir could save info typing

Hi,

=:dir= specifies the directory for code execution, i.e. when you hit =C-c
C-c= what is the environment in which the code is run?

=:mkdirp= forces creation of the directory for tangle output, i.e. when you
=org-babel-tangle= where do you put the output source code?

They are quite separate concerns.

Regards,
Sean

I know currently it specify directory for code execution. I'm saying whether
consider extend =:dir= semantic for tangling too.

Because the header arguments could becoming very long if I repeat the
sub-directory information in executing directory =:dir= and for =:tangle=. Like
this:

#+begin_src sh :mkdirp yes :dir "data/code/project-name-1" :tangle "data/code/project-name-1/src/project-name/main/App.java"
....
#+end_src

You see, The "=data/code/project-name-1=" path part is duplicate. And the header
arguments is very long. Even though I can put header arguments in ~#+HEADERS:~
line of source block. But still duplicate info inputting, isn't it?

=:mkdirp= already support for auto force create of directory =:dir= now.
