Problems with capture

Problems with capture

[Thomas Holst]

Hello org-moders,

I have a little trouble with capture. First here is the setup for one of
my capture templates:

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(setq org-capture-templates
      '(
        ;; ...
        ("hr" "Rechnung erfassen" table-line (file+function "~/git/org-priv/Univ_Beih.org" th:capure-find-open-vers-regn)
         "| # | %^u | %^{Arzt/Apotheke} | %^{für wen|Lida|Oleg|Victor|Simon} | %^{Betrag} | %^u | | | |"
         :table-line-pos "III-1" :immediate-finish t)
        ;; ...
        ))
#+end_src

What this template shall achive:

- look if there is an entry (headline) with todo state OPEN
- if entry exists append a table line
- if entry does not exist, create a new headline, insert table structure
  and append line to newly created table.

The function `th:capture-find-open-vers-regn' does this. Creating works
fine, but a get an error:

  Error running timer `org-element--cache-sync': (error "Invalid search bound (wrong side of point)")

and:

  condition-case: Capture template `hr': Invalid table line specification "III-1

I use something like:

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(org-element-map (org-element-parse-buffer) 'headline
       (lambda (hl)
         (and
          (string= "Rechnungen" (car (org-element-property :title hl)))
          (= 1 (org-element-property :level hl))
          (org-element-property :begin hl)))
       nil t)
#+end_src

To find the Position in the file and regular

: (insert "a huge string")

To insert new heading and table structure. The new structure is created,
but something breaks caching. How can I insert the new structure without
breaking caching?

Thanks for any pointers.

P.S.

I think I fixed something related recently. Could you update Org and try
again?

after a git-pull the first error (about cache) is gone. The second error
still is there:


>>   condition-case: Capture template `hr': Invalid table line specification "III-1"

The table which was inserted looks like this:

#+begin_src org
  ** OPEN [2015-12-08 Di] Rechnungen
  #+NAME: akt-vers-rechnungen
  |---+-------+------+---------+--------+-----------+-------------+----------------+-----------------|
  | ! | Datum | Arzt | für wen | Betrag | wann bez. | wann bearb. | wann erh. Vers | wann erh. Beih. |
  |---+-------+------+---------+--------+-----------+-------------+----------------+-----------------|
  |---+-------+------+---------+--------+-----------+-------------+----------------+-----------------|
  | # |       |      |         |   0.00 |           |             |           0.00 |            0.00 |
  |---+-------+------+---------+--------+-----------+-------------+----------------+-----------------|
  #+TBLFM: $8=$5*0.2;%.2f::$9=$5*0.8;%.2f::@2$5=vsum(@-II..@-I);%.2f
#+end_src

After creation point is at beginning of headline (left of the two *).
From my point of view table line specification "III-1" is ok.

Thanks for looking into this.

Hi Nicolas,

replying to myself :-),

I dug a little deeper into this.

The culprit is `org-capture-place-table-line'. It narrows the buffer to
relevant table but leaves point at the beginning of an empty line.
`org-table-analyze' does not any table and exits with nil.

For me the following patch fixes the problem:

#+begin_src diff
1 file changed, 1 insertion(+)
lisp/org-capture.el | 1 +

modified   lisp/org-capture.el
@@ -1156,6 +1156,7 @@ may have been stored before."
       (goto-char end)
       (insert "\n|   |\n|----|\n|    |\n")
       (narrow-to-region (1+ end) (point)))
+    (goto-char (point-min))
     ;; We are narrowed to the table, or to an empty line if there was no table
 
     ;; Check if the template is good
#+end_src

Maybe there is a better way to fix this.

Thanks again for lookint into this.
