org-ql and inherited tags (?)

org-ql and inherited tags (?)

[Christian Barthel]

Hello,

i am using Emacs 29 and org-ql (20230525.1548).

I am seeing an error message that I tracked down
to setting org-use-property-inheritance.  Short
demo:

Here is a small org-file:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
## file: ~/.emacs_29_test/foo.org
* this
:PROPERTIES:
:ID:       123
:BLOCKEDBY: 123
:END:
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

An org-query like the one below works as expected.

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(setq org-agenda-files "~/.emacs_29_test/foo.org")
(org-ql-search org-agenda-files "(and (level <= 3) (property \"BLOCKEDBY\" \"123\"))")
;; this finds one item `this`
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

When I am setting `org-use-property-inheritance` and use the same query,
I get an error message:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(setq org-use-property-inheritance '("DIR"))
(setq org-agenda-files "~/.emacs_29_test/foo.org")
(org-ql-search org-agenda-files "(and (level <= 3) (property \"BLOCKEDBY\" \"123\"))")


;; Error message:
byte-compile-log-warning: Invalid Org QL query: "Invalid Org QL query: \"‘DIR’ is a malformed function\", :warning", :error
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

I think that this might be related:
  <https://github.com/alphapapa/org-ql/issues/356>

Any idea whats going wrong?

This message has nothing to do with Org mode itself. Looks like
something in org-ql.

I recommend reporting to org-ql repo.
