apparently too stupid to use checkboxes

apparently too stupid to use checkboxes

[Detlef Steuer]

Hi!

I try to use checkboxes (never used before):

* TODO Test [/]
  - [ ] first
  - [ ] second

Now I can C-c C-c to state-change a single box, but the summary box in the
headline never gets updated.

If I try C-c # I get an error messge
Invalid function: ignore errors

Even if I cut'n'paste the  checkbox example out of the manual it doesn't
work here.


My org-version is
release_6.34c-232-g727a
Org-mode version 6.34trans (release_6.34c.232.g727a)

My emacs
GNU Emacs 22.3.1 (i586-suse-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.14.4) of 2008-12-03 on build19


I know, the mistake must happen between my ears ....
Any help appreciated.

Very strange.  This works perfectly fine for me: typing C-c C-c on the
first item, say, checks that box and updates the headline to have
[1/2] on it.  Typing C-c C-c again clears the checkbox.

I'm on 
GNU Emacs 23.1.1 (i486-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.18.2) of 2009-11-02 on raven, modified by Debian

Maybe upgrade your Emacs?  But, of course, this should work on emacs
22.x as well.

Try without a space between Test and [/] ?

No change.

One more observation while trying this out:

C-c C-c in a checkbox line _always_ gives 
Invalid function: ignore-errors

I guess the next questions then have to be: 

1. how have you installed org-mode?  

2. How are you loading it?

3. any extra useful information in the *Messages* buffer?

4. have you tried turning on debug modes (e.g. toggle-debug-on-error)
   to see where things are going wrong?

Re: apparently too stupid to use checkboxes

[Detlef Steuer]

Ok, here we go.

I put 
(defmacro ignore-errors (&rest body)
   "Execute BODY; if an error occurs, return nil.
Otherwise, return result of last form in BODY."
   `(condition-case nil (progn ,@body) (error nil)))

in my .emacs as Carsten advised.
This action seems to be a complicated form of do-nothing.
At least my error message remains the same.
(emacs was restarted after adding the macro to .emacs)

Nightly git checkout.

I inline my (ugly) .emacs as it stands.
It is unchanged since ages. 
My guess is something goes wrong there.

Seems uninformative to me:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (invalid-function ignore-errors)
  ignore-errors(nil)
  org-update-checkbox-count()
  org-update-checkbox-count-maybe()
  org-toggle-checkbox(nil)

Any ideas?

Well, there is an error in .emacs:

The "quote(" looks like a leftover of something.  The line should read:

'(org-todo-keywords '((sequence "TODO" "STARTED" "WAITING" | "DONE")))

Maybe fixing this does the job?

If the (defmacro is not working my guess what be that you are running
some kind of a mixup of probably old byte compiled code and the
current developement version.

Are there any old installations of Org arround?

Doesn't seem so, but would be my guess, too.

Funny thing is, I now have two machines with as far as I can tell
identical configurations. 

One works, one doesn't. :-) 

Anyway, thanks a lot to all of you. I'll take the opportunity to 
rebuild .emacs from scratch.

Re: apparently too stupid to use checkboxes

[Carsten Dominik]

Hi Detlef,

`ignore-errors' is defined in cl-macs in Emacs 22.  You need to  
compile the .el file
to get this macro.  Alternatively, define it in your .emacs file  
before loading org-mode stuff:


(defmacro ignore-errors (&rest body)
   "Execute BODY; if an error occurs, return nil.
Otherwise, return result of last form in BODY."
   `(condition-case nil (progn ,@body) (error nil)))

Re: apparently too stupid to use checkboxes

[Detlef Steuer]

Hi,

while looking for the cause of my "checkbox problem" I found,
that all works fine, if I issue

make clean 

in my org-mode directory before editing.

orgmode version is:
release_6.34c-238-gc0707
Org-mode version 6.34trans (release_6.34c.238.gc0707.dirty)

If these very same files get byte-compiled with
make

checkboxes stop functioning again.

There are no error messages during startup.
If I can help any further identifying the real cause, let me know, please.

Do you still have the defmacro in .emacs?

And is there a cl-mac.el somewhere on your system?

find /usr -name 'cl-mac.*'

No. I removed it, because in *Messages* there is

("/usr/bin/emacs" "/tmp/orgtest.org")
Loading regexp-opt...done
Loading subst-ksc...done
Loading subst-gb2312...done
Loading subst-big5...done
Loading subst-jis...done
Loading /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/tex-site.el (source)...done
Loading paren...done
Loading easy-mmode...done
Loading advice...done
Loading cl-macs...done
........^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

So I thougth cl-macs should be available in my session.

Nevertheless: I put it in again for testing and _nothing changes_.

see above. I'm told it's loaded. (if you meant cl-macs and not cl-mac?)

Strange.  Because the only conclusion I can draw of this:

Is that the macro is available on run time but not on compile time.

In fact: At least on my system `ignore-errors' is /not/ defined in
cl-macs, but in subr.el that is shipped with Emacs since 22.3

The question is where the macro is defined in your setup (M-x apropos
RET ignore-errors RET).

Maybe Org should define the macro explitely if it is not available on
compile time?

Re: Re: apparently too stupid to use checkboxes

[Christos Chryssochoidis]

Hi,

I had the same problem when using the git version of org-mode within
an Emacs 23 nightly build on Mac OS X 10.6.3.
I was byte-compiling org-mode in the command line, as it had been
downloaded, without changing anything, e.g. the Makefile.
That means it used the emacs version that shipped with Mac OS X to
compile org-mode, which is located in /usr/bin/. That's Emacs version
22.1.1 on my machine.
So I set in the Makefile the parameter EMACS to be the path of the
Emacs 23 build I've been using, and then I did "make clean", "make"
etc.
I don't get anymore the "Invalid function: ignore errors" message. :-)

Hope this helps

Ok, I ran into this problem today, on an emacs 23 with git org-mode, on
debian testing, ("wheezy"), and I googled for the error message and
found this thread.

What I did was
 cd ~/git/org-mode/
 make clean
 make

and then the problem went away: I started a new emacs and edited an org
file with cookie'd checkboxes, and now the cookies updated.

My org-mode git clone was last pull'd on May 5, and
.git/refs/heads/master contains 37f9639a4391fd63caae7abf2b4ac8e247b740c3

If someone feels like looking into this rather obscure error, I'm
willing to assist.  If not, I will just pull and hope it goes away...:-)
