Error When Publishing a Single File

Error When Publishing a Single File

[Ian Barton]

This has been happening for a while. I suspect it's something in my 
settings, but I can't work out what. When I publish a single file, I get 
the following error:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument arrayp nil)
   file-truename(nil)
 
org-publish-file("/home/ian/nfs/firewall/Documents/org/holiday/holiday.org")
   byte-code("\b?…\x06
   org-publish-current-file(nil)
   call-interactively(org-publish-current-file)
   org-export(nil)
   call-interactively(org-export)

Publishing a whole project works fine. This is the relevant bit of my 
.emacs:

(require 'org-publish)
(setq org-publish-project-alist
       '(

        ;; ... add all the components here (see below)...
       ("org-notes"
           :base-directory "~/nfs/firewall/Documents/org/"
           :base-extension "org"
           :publishing-directory "~/nfs/firewall/public_html/org/"
           :recursive t
           :publishing-function org-publish-org-to-html
           :headline-levels 4             ; Just the default for this 
project.
           :auto-preamble t
           :auto-index t
           :index-filename "sitemap.org"
           :index-title "Sitemap"
       )

     ("org-static"
           :base-directory "~/nfs/firewall/Documents/org/"
           :base-extension 
"css\\|js\\|png\\|jpg\\|gif\\|pdf\\|mp3\\|ogg\\|swf"
           :publishing-directory "~/nfs/firewall/public_html/org/"
           :recursive t
           :publishing-function org-publish-attachment)

     ("org" :components ("org-notes" "org-static"))


       ))

Since this feature is prone to error, I'd suggest to drop it entirely. I
never use it here. Instead, I'd suggest to change the publishing feature
as follows:


  a)  The index file generation takes quite a long time. As for me , this
      is the only reason to keep this single page publishing.

      So why not just generate the index file, if _new_ (as opposed to
      changed) files are found in the project?

      Otherwise ask.

  b)  Interactive publishing

      Some times it might be desirable to not publish all changes at
      once (e.g. do not publish unfinished changes).

      The publishing mechanism could ask for every file. This could be
      bound to `C-u C-e P' or `C-c C-e i' for example.

  c)  Is it possible to extend the publising-timestamp mechanism to
      exported blocks? E.g. ditaa images take quite some time to
      generate.

That way, publishing a project is much faster and single files could be
published as needed. Time used for publishing would decrease to
something like 10% here (lot's of ditaa images and 59 files).




What do think?

Hi Ian, 

I can confirm the same error when calling org-publish-current-file with
the following configuration:

(setq org-publish-project-alist
      '(
	("org-notes"
	 :base-directory "~/mystuff/website/"
	 :base-extension "org"
	 :publishing-directory "/ssh:[url:/path/to/webpage]"
	 :section-numbers nil
	 :email "Matthew.Lundin@valpo.edu"
	 :publishing-function org-publish-org-to-html
	 :table-of-contents nil
;;	 :auto-index t
;;	 :index-filename "pagelist.org"
;;	 :index-title "Page List"
	 :recursive t
	 :style "<link rel=\"stylesheet\" type=\"text/css\" href=\"css/stylesheet.css\" />"
	 ;;:style-include-default nil
	 :preamble "
<div id=\"wrapper\">
<div id=\"menu\">
<div id=\"sidemenu\">
<a href=\"index.html\">Home</a> &#124;
<a href=\"sitemap.html\">Site Map</a>
</div>
<div id=\"sidetitle\">
Matthew Lundin
</div>
</div>
<div id=\"content\">"
	 :postamble "</div>
</div>"
	 )
	("org-static"
	 :base-directory "~/mystuff/website/"
	 :publishing-directory "/ssh:[url:/path/to/webpage/]"
	 :recursive t
	 :base-extension "css\\|js\\|png\\|jpg\\|gif\\|pdf\\|mp3\\|ogg\\|swf"
	 :publishing-function org-publish-attachment 
	 )
	("org" 
	 :components
	 ("org-notes" "org-static"))
	))

Best,
Matt

I too would be happy if something like this could be implemented. Like 
Sebastian I only use the single file feature to save time.

Someone needs to adopt org-publish.el and do this.

Otherwise it will be waiting until I get more interested in publishing  
myself.
