Gnus org-mode link problems in org 9.3

Gnus org-mode link problems in org 9.3

[Bob Newell]

Aloha,

Posting to both org-mode and gnus groups.

Just updated to latest org (9.3 of 3 December) on Emacs 26.3.1
and my gnus link functions seem to have quit.

Now, whenever I do C-c C-o on an email link I get something like this:

org-link-search: No match for fuzzy expression: gnus:nnimap+imap.gmail.com:%5BGmail%5D/All%20Mail#CAN9LUGf6QKkyxt9EWJJs+hOYC6yWJASFT4K4hV5Zr2D10VyJWA@mail.gmail.com

Further, when I want to set up a todo with C-c c t when in a
gnus message (article), I now get

org-capture: Capture template ‘t’: No method for storing a link from this buffer

Does anyone else see any of this or just my problem? Any ideas? 

Mahalo in advance,

Very strange! Just an hour back, my test suite failed because earlier
org-link-unescape used to unhex but now it doesn't. I haven't yet traced
back to the commit where this change happened.

Then replacing org-link-unescape with url-unhex-string fixed my use case[1].

Not sure if the issue you are seeing is because of the same cause.

It's very much likely that's the case:

From https://orgmode.org/Changes.html :

> The old org-link-escape and org-link-unescape functions have been renamed
into org-link-encode and org-link-decode.

I updated both Emacs and org mode (both from git) this morning and have
had no problems with opening gnus email links from org, something I've
been doing quite a lot today in fact.

Just a data point...

Thanks for the input! But I don't think org-link-escape is the
problem for me. In the documentation for the new org changes
there is a link conversion function. I ran this to fix all my
links and still got the same problem.

It also wouldn't explain my todo capture template failure,
either.

Of course, I'll keep researching, but I may temporarily try to
revert to the previous org release (if I can figure out how!)

Just to update, reversion to an earlier org-mode makes these
problems go away.

That still doesn't parse the question of whether there is
something in my own setup that now doesn't work as opposed to
a more general problem.

Continuing work ....

Re: Gnus org-mode link problems in org 9.3

I have solved this problem after some investigation. It could
perhaps apply to other users.

I had customized the value 'org-modules'. This was fine so
long as we had 'org-gnus' (and other similar modules). But in
org 9.3 this has become 'ol-gnus' (and ol-bbdb and so
on). Now, 'ol-gnus' and the rest are included in the stock
value of org-modules, but this was over-ridden by my
customized version. No more org-gnus to load! So I lost
functionality as described in my complaint.

I found this by going through '*Messages*' where the message
"Problems loading org-gnus" (et al) appeared.

I didn't see anything in the 'incompatible changes' log for
org, but perhaps this is too obscure. Oh well. This occupied a
few hours but it wasn't good beach weather today.

Aloha,

Glad you tracked this down.
