org-element-cache warning even when off

org-element-cache warning even when off

[Colin Baxter 😺]

Hello,

I have

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(setq org-element-use-cache nil)
(setq org-element-cache-persistent nil)
#+end_src

Yet when editing by hand a time string in a today habit I get the
warning:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---

Warning (org-element-cache): org-element--cache: Cache corruption detected in todo.habits.org::539. Resetting.
 The error was: (error "Not an Org time string: <2021-12-0 Fri .+1d")
 Backtrace:
nil

--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

I do not have an org-persist cache present. So I wonder where is the
cache that I am supposedly corrupting.

Best wishes

Colin Baxter.

That warning is shown when org-element--parse-to throws an error (the
parser fails). Apparently, there is some problem with Org parser.

Can you try to copy the file text around 539 buffer point into separate
Org file and check if you are seeing this kind of error there?

May it happen that the text near 539 buffer point looks like "CLOCK:
[2021-10-22 Fri 10:41]--[2021]"? If so, the error may be related to
https://orgmode.org/list/87v90j2gq4.fsf@localhost

P.S. I updated the warning text on main.

Best,
Ihor

I have done this but now do not see any warning. Further, I now don't
seem to be able to re-produce the issue at all. It could that the
original warning was spurious and reflected some stale state. I did have
multiple emacsen open at the time.

I normally have org-persist on, but occasionally I need to do multiple
edits on an agenda file. On those occasions, I switch org-persist off
and move its cache out of the way in order to avoid cache corruption
warnings and to keep the syntax highlighting. I will look out for any
cache warnings if I edit any agenda files by hand again.


Best wishes,

Colin Baxter.

Note that I fixed some parser error a dozen of hours ago. Maybe it
helped. In any case, let us know if you encounter a similar warning
in future.
