Bug: [org-contrib][org-depend] function 'position' is not defined [9.3 (release_9.3 @ /usr/share/emacs/27.1/lisp/org/)]

Bug: [org-contrib][org-depend] function 'position' is not defined [9.3 (release_9.3 @ /usr/share/emacs/27.1/lisp/org/)]

[Damien Couroussé]

hello,

I use org-depend, which produces the following error message :


┌────
│ org-depend-trigger-todo: Symbol’s function definition is void: position
└────



I think that this is happening here:

[[file:lisp/org-depend.el::(pos (position this-item items :key #'first))]]

I can reproduce the problem with the 'advanced triggering example' as
published here: 
https://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/org-depend.html#org858993c

I could not find a suitable replacement for the function 'position' due
to my limited mastering of elisp. Any help greatly appreciated!


Your bug report will be posted to the Org mailing list.

Fixed.
Note that the changes are not currently reflected in non-GNU ELPA. You
need to use the repository source at https://git.sr.ht/~bzg/org-contrib

Also, be aware about org-contrib is barely maintained. This particular
fix is very easy, but more involved issues will not be prioritized.
See https://list.orgmode.org/87pmy89fqu.fsf@gnu.org/ and the readme in
https://git.sr.ht/~bzg/org-contrib
