"due today" agenda command stopped working

"due today" agenda command stopped working

[Michael Gilbert]

Hi —

A while back, Carsten helped me out with a "due today" custom agenda command. This is it:

(setq org-agenda-custom-commands
     '(("d" "Due today" agenda ""
        ((org-deadline-warning-days 0)
         (org-agenda-skip-scheduled-if-deadline-is-shown t)
         (org-agenda-skip-function
          (lambda ()
            (let* ((dl (org-entry-get nil "DEADLINE")))
              (if (or (not dl)
                      (equal dl "")
                      (org-time> dl (org-time-today)))
                  (progn (outline-next-heading) (point))))))))
       )

I routinely keep up with org-mode updates and recently this stopped working properly. What it does now is list a small subset of the items due today. After an hour looking at them, I can't figure out why it's leaving most of them out. The pattern just isn't clear to me. I'm wondering if something this command depends upon has changed. Well, probably it has, but the questions are: What changed? And is there another solution to the "due today" custom command?

Any thoughts?

— Michael

Hi Michael,

are you using git to keep up to date?  Then you could use git bisect  
to locate the precise commit where this behavior changed - that would  
then make it very easy to find out what is causing the problem.

I cannot reproduce this with

Org-mode version 6.34trans (release_6.34c.224.ga8427)

on

GNU Emacs 24.0.50.1 (i486-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.18.7) of
 2010-03-11 on elegiac, modified by Debian

My test file:
,----
| * TODO Another one
|   DEADLINE: <2010-03-20 Sa>
| 
| * TODO Test
|   DEADLINE: <2010-03-17 Mi>
`----

Setting `org-agenda-custom-commands' as mentioned and hitting C-a d
show only the headline with deadline of today whilst using C-a a shows
both.

Wild guess: Do the headlines appear in the weekly/daily agenda view
and are the files with headlines that are not shown with C-a d in
Orgmode's list of agenda files?
