org-publish error with java hook

org-publish error with java hook

[Colin Baxter]

Hello,

In the last few days org-publish no loner works for me, giving a lisp
error: (void-function conkeror-minor-mode). The source of the problem is
the line '(add-hook 'js-mode-hook 'conkeror-minor-mode)' in my init
file. If I comment out the line, the error disappears.

I've tried reverting a couple of recent commits in org-mode, but to no
avail. I'd appreciate pointers as to the issue.

I'm using emacs-27.1 with Org mode version 9.4.4
(release_9.4.4-186-g7fa817).

Best wishes,

Colin Baxter.

I suspect that is something related to your local configuration -
specifically in your Javascript setup hook. I don't think it has
anything to do with org. When org publish does its thing, it must be
loading js mode and that is triggering the error.

Emacs has deprecated conkeror support in the browse-url library ecently
(Emacs 28 I think), which has probably resulted in some other packages
removing conkeror support. My guess would be that you have been using a
package which adds conkeror support when editing Javascript code (you
could test this by opening a JS file outside of org mode and see if you
get the same error).

Review the packages you have which provide JS editing support and you
will likely find the culprit.

Hi Tim,

Thanks for you quick reply.

I don't get this error editing a js outside of org-mode,
unfortunately. In fact, conkeror-minor-mode-el still works. Ok, all it
does is to send a js script to be evaluate by conkeror, but it still does
exactly that.

I intend to check - when I get time - if the CDATA @license-end stuff
that org publish inserts is not responsible.

Best wishes,

Colin.

My guess would be that something has changed in your configuration.
Possibly something was previously doing a require for
conkeror-minor-mode.el before org is loaded which is no longer there.
You could try adding a (require 'conkeror-minor-mode) in your
customisation before org is loaded (or before org-publish is loaded).

You could also try loading a JS file by hand and then load an org file
and try to run org-publish. I suspect it will work, which would confirm
the issue is that nothing has loaded conkeror-minor-mode at the time you
try to do org-publish.

I have now discovered the problem. You are correct. I had changed
recently my init file, with the effect that conkeror-minor-mode was no
longer loaded when I ran org publish, even though the hook was still
present. I had changed things thinking it was a "simplification". I had
forgotten "if it works don't touch it".

Thanks for your help - sorry about the non-issue.

Best wishes,

Colin.
