[BUG] [bug] clocking in suddenly does not work any more [9.7-pre (release_9.6.18-1197-ga250fc @ /home/grfz/src/org-mode/lisp/)]

[Gregor Zattler]

Dear org-mode users and developers,

I used to clock in (and out) on a certain node several
times a day.  Also today, but this suddenly does not
work any more, it inserts only a

CLOCK:

(with preceeding blank) but no following time stamp and
I get the message: "org-clock-sum-current-item: Wrong
type argument: fixnump, nil"

This still works with emacs -Q, so is somehow related
to my configuration, but I get this error even with my
whole emacs.d replaced by the backup from yesterday and
~/.cache/emacs/ ~/.cache/org-persist/ org-clock-save.el
deleted.

Any ideas how to debug this?

Thanks, Gregor

I played a bit around.  If I delete the following part
of the LOGBOOK:

ClOCK: [2024-02-26 Mo 11:35]--[2024-02-26 Mo 11:40] =>  0:05
- Clocking out at [2024-02-26 Mo 11:40]

it works again.  The "l" in "ClOCK" is not
capitalized.  I wonder how I managed to change that
single letters capitalization.

For me the problem is solved, although I do not
understand, why emacs -Q does not stumble over this
while my configured Emacs does....


Regards, Gregor

Canceled, I hope this works for woof!

If you encounter wrong type argument as similar weird errors, it can
help to produce a backtrace. You can do it by setting `debug-on-error'
to t (M-x toggle-debug-on-error). Then, you can examine or share the
backtrace.
