org-link-set-parameters missing in ELPA version

org-link-set-parameters missing in ELPA version

[Rob Duncan]

I just installed org-mac-link version 20160808.220 from ELPA and I’m no longer able to insert links from Mail.app and other applications.  It used to work…

When I try to manually load org-mac-link.el I get this error message:

eval-buffer: Symbol’s function definition is void: org-link-set-parameters

Did I mess up the install, or is the package broken somehow?

Thanks,

Rob.

that seems weird, I thought that should only be in org 9. Is that on ELPA
somehow?

Hi John,

My org is claiming to be version 8.3.5:

Org-mode version 8.3.5 (8.3.5-elpa @ /Users/rduncan/.emacs.d/elpa/org-20160815/)

Hi Rob,

Not sure what's going on. On a related note, I noticed that the outlook
code is tied to the 2011 version. I'm going to prepare a patch for that and
submit it.

I haven't been able to reproduce this in org-plus-contrib-20160822.

Hi John,

I deleted my existing packages and installed org-plus-contrib-20160822 and everything works again.

Thanks very much!

Rob.

I've been experiencing similar problems with increasing annoyance level for
over a month. Thanks to these comments I think I got to the bottom of it!

The MELPA package org-mac-link (latest is org-mac-link-20160808.220) has
clearly continued being updated with new code that include calls to
org-link-set-parameters. The org-mac-link.el in package org-plus-contrib
has the code that works with org v8. Everyone who has been using MELPA,
especially with use-package, to load org-mac-link.el has not been using the
code in org-plus-contrib.

I removed the downloaded org-mac-link package files and the corresponding
depends-on line from my Cask file, and reverted to old require syntax to
load org-mac-link . Problem solved.

Re: org-link-set-parameters missing in ELPA version

[Richard Kim]

 
I added the following elisp code at the start of my ~/.emacs to deal
with this problem. My analysis of the problem is described in the
comments. In short the root cause seems to be loading built-in org.el
during initialization rather than org.el from either org-plus-contrib or
org add-on packages.  Symbols such as org-link-set-parameters are not
defined in built-in org.el of emacs 25. They are defined only in newer
versions of org package.

I use my own build of the following which is re-built once a week or two:
- emacs 25 from 'emacs-25' git branch
- org and org-plus-contribute packages from git source files
- spacemacs from 'develop' git branch

If I have erred in my analysis of the root cause, please let me know.
What I know is that before I started using the code below, I would get
emacs startup error every time after I removed all installed packages.
With this code, I no longer see any failure.

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
;; Bootstrap `org-plus-contrib' and/or `org' packages
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

;; The purpose of this section is to make sure that org-mode package(s) are
;; installed and setup early on so as to prevent built-in org-mode files from
;; getting loaded. The built-in org-mode commands are autoloaded so that none
;; of the built-in org files are actually loaded when emacs starts up. However
;; it is easy to get one or more org files to get loaded directly or indirectly
;; by using one or more org mode functions. Once that happens, then it is
;; nearly impossible to fix this. For example if built-in org.el gets loaded,
;; then subsequent (require 'org) will not reload org.el even if an org package
;; was installed which provided newer org.el! A workaround is to make sure that
;; the org package(s) are not only installed, but also activated (i.e.,
;; `load-path' setup) so that the first time (require 'org) is done, it will
;; cause the newer org.el to be loaded rather than the built in one.


;; Where to find packages to install from. If spacemacs is loaded, then it is
;; important that `package-archives' value here is the same as the one embedded
;; in spacemacs. Otherwise strange errors may pop up.
