[PATCH] org-babel-execute-buffer "No surrounding element" error

[-- Attachment #1.1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 363 bytes --]

I was trying to use org-babel-execute-buffer to update all org-babel
code block results for a org document. It works fine when the code block
is visible, but when it's hidden, I got the "user-error: No surrounding
element" error and nothing was executed.

Adding `(outline-show-all)` fixed this issue for me. Does this look like
a good solution?

Subject: [PATCH] ob-core.el: Fix "No surrounding element" error

* ob-core.el (org-babel-execute-buffer): Show all outlines before
execution.

Without this, when outlines are hidden,
executing (org-babel-execute-buffer) gives "No surrounding element"
error.

I cannot reproduce it.

I don't know. It sounds odd. Could you show an ECM?
