extremely weird "bad sexp" errors

[Friedrich Delgado]

Hi!

For some strange reason, as of today, the combination

%%(org-google-weather "Hamburg" "DE")

seems to be deeply offending, as I get a "bad sexp" error for it.

%%(org-google-weather "Hamburg")

works,

%%(org-google-weather "Berlin" "DE")

also works,

%%(org-google-weather "Hamburg" "DA")

also works (as does any other german city or language I've tried).

How could I provide debug information for this? toggle-debug-on-error
and edebug-defun give me no cookies at all.


A different issue:

It seems I have to eval (require 'org-google-weather) manually. I
have it in a private library "org-config" which I require from my main
.emacs, but that also results in "bad sexp" errors (this time for both
of my weather lines).

extremely weird "bad sexp" errors with org-google-weather [was: extremely weird "bad sexp" errors]

It just occured to me, that I could have include org-google-weather in
the subject.

*bump*

Laziness led to the invention of the most useful tools.

Oh... and I just tried to set the language back to "DE" and the
problem disappeared.

It can only guess that there might have been some problem going on
behind the curtain (e.g. on the google servers?), which has now been
resolved.

I'd appreciate if Org/org-google-weather could handle such conditions
more gracefully, and/or some instructions how to provide debug
information for those cases.

Hi Friedrich,

I ran into the same problem when I had no network. My work-around was to
put something like this in my org-file:

%%(condition-case nil (org-google-weather "Tokyo" "jp") (error
"connection failed"))

Of course, having this error intercepted in org-google-weather or in the
general handling by org-mode would be preferable.

I've added such a fix, hoping it will work better. :)
