Hi,

I have recently upgraded to org-mode version 8. Each time I start emacs I
see the folloinwg error:

error "Autoloading failed to define function org-element-cache-reset"


And some functionnality of org-mode doesn't seems to work anymore.

Second part of the message:

Information from M-x org-version:

Org-mode version beta_8.3 (beta_8.3-16-g16c71d6 @
/home/reveatwork/.emacs.d/site-lisp/org-mode/lisp/)

I have downloaded the last version using git.

How can I switch to a stable branch instead of the last beta, to check if
that solves the problem?


Thanks for your help.

Can you elaborate on your exact procedure for upgrading as well as posting
relevant lines from .emacs?

I usually do git pull > make clean > make, but don't know if that
makes a difference, so that's probably fine.

Well, I'm interested in the original error, "Autoloading failed to
define function org-element-cache-reset", not anything to do with
org-export. You should be able to start emacs without any errors, and
I think that's the primary thing to troubleshoot first.

Bernt's page is one of the most advanced orgmode setups documented
that I've ever seen. I wouldn't get too deep into that before figuring
out what's going on at the basic level.

How are you telling Emacs where Orgmode lives? My suggestion would be
the following:

Create a minimal .emacs file with just the following (change path to
wherever your orgmode git repo is):

(add-to-list 'load-path "~/path/to/org.git/lisp/")

From a command line, run:

$ emacs -Q

Then from Emacs, run:

M-x load-file [press enter] /path/to/minimal-config/from/above [press enter]

Then run:

M-x org-version

You should get something like this:

Org-mode version 8.2.6 (release_8.2.6-950-ge599e8 @
/home/jwhendy/.elisp/org.git/lisp/)

If you don't get any errors, close emacs, copy some lines from your
"real" config into that minimal config, and repeat the process (emacs
-Q -> M-x load-file...) until you get the error again. Then you'll
know what's causing it. Doing it this way helps know that you've at
least got the "right" Org-mode loaded (not the one built in to your
Emacs), and from there we can track the issue.

Once that's all set, getting exporters going is a pretty simple
matter. I have this in my .emacs:

(require 'ox-latex)
(require 'ox-html)
(require 'ox-beamer)
(require 'ox-md)
(require 'ox-odt)
(require 'ox-taskjuggler)

(add-to-list 'org-latex-classes
             '("beamer"
               "\\documentclass\[presentation\]\{beamer\}"
               ("\\section\{%s\}" . "\\section*\{%s\}")
               ("\\subsection\{%s\}" . "\\subsection*\{%s\}")
               ("\\subsubsection\{%s\}" . "\\subsubsection*\{%s\}")))

That handles it all for me.

Also, please keep cc'ing the Org list. They know much more than I do,
and as you provide more information can probably help you better than
I can as well.


Good luck!
John

Re: Problem with org-mode after upgradiing to org 8

[Roland Everaert]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 5342 bytes --]

Hi John,

I am using Bernt's configuration (at least a part of it) for years without
problems until I switch to org 8.

I hame commented most of my init.el file and uncomment bits of
configuration lines one at a time. and I have found where is located the
problem. I have know to investigate why it is a problem.

The offending line is (bh/org-agenda-to-appt), this is one of the function
from the configuration of Bernt, so I have now to check my version against
the one on his page to see if he doesn't update it.

And to answer your question, the loaded version of org-mode is "Org-mode
version beta_8.3 (beta_8.3-16-g16c71d6 @
/home/reveatwork/.emacs.d/site-lisp/org-mode/lisp/)"

I will also perform a "make clean > make" of my installation of org-mode
just in case some their is some garbage left from previous version.


Thanks for your help,


Roland.

Re: Problem with org-mode after upgradiing to org 8

[Roland Everaert]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 6311 bytes --]

Hi,

After further investigation, it is the call to the function
(org-agenda-to-appt) inside the function bh/org-agenda-to-appt that is
causing the error.

The body of the function:

; Erase all reminders and rebuilt reminders for today from the agenda
(defun bh/org-agenda-to-appt ()
  (interactive)
  (setq appt-time-msg-list nil)
 (org-agenda-to-appt)
)


I will deactivate the call to bh/org-agenda-to-appt, so I can have a normal
life again and use emacs and org-mode without any problem. I will review
and clean my configuration when times permit.

I am anyway curious to know why that function call generate such error.

Thanks for your help,


Roland.

I know approximately nothing about elisp... but my intuitive
interpretation is that it's setting the variable appt-time-msg-list to
the value nil. When I do M-x help RET appt-msg-[TAB], I don't get any
completions listed. Does that variable still exist?

When googling that variable, I find evidence of people referring to
it, but I'm not sure it's built into emacs -- are you sure you don't
need to add something else, such as appt.el?

Re: Problem with org-mode after upgradiing to org 8

[Roland Everaert]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 9021 bytes --]

org-mode will makes me crazy. After a deep review (well rewrite my entire
configuration based on norang's one) org-mode is working again, but its the
version bundled with emacs that seems to be loaded and not the one I
downloaded from the git repository.


My emacs configuration is structured like so:

~/.emacs.d/init.el
~/.emacs.d/site-lisp/ --> contains alot of lisp codes including the
directory of org.


At the top of the init.el file I put the following:

(let ((default-directory "~/.emacs.d/site-lisp/"))
      (normal-top-level-add-to-load-path '("."))
      (normal-top-level-add-subdirs-to-load-path))


I, later, load a file containing all my org-mode configuration. That file
is located in ~/.emacs.d/site-lisp/. I load that file in this way:

(load-library "my-org-mode-config")

 At the top of that configuration file is written:

(add-to-list 'load-path (expand-file-name
"~/.emacs.d/site-lisp/org-mode/lisp"))
(add-to-list 'load-path (expand-file-name
"~/.emacs.d/site-lisp/org-mode/contrib/lisp"))
(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.\\(org\\|org_archive\\)$" . org-mode))

(require 'org)


So I don't understand why M-x org-version gives me:

Org-mode version 7.9.3f (release_7.9.3f-17-g7524ef @
/usr/share/emacs/24.3/lisp/org/)


Any help welcomed,


Roland.

Do you have a ~/.emacs? One thought that occurred is making sure the
"right" config is loaded, or that they are loaded in the right order.
I don't understand how Emacs works on that level, but I have just
always used ~/.emacs for a config.

While I'm no master/authority... you've not taken the suggestion I
provided originally, which is to remove *all* complicated stuff and
just make sure that the git version of Org is functioning properly.
Copied and pasted from my initial response:

=====
;; create a file (say, ~/Desktop/minimal-config) with the following
*single* line
;; in your case, looks like you'd do "~/.emacs.d/site-lisp/org-mode/lisp/"
(add-to-list 'load-path "~/path/to/org.git/lisp/")

From a command line, run:

$ emacs -Q

Then from Emacs, run:

M-x load-file [press enter] /path/to/minimal-config/from/above [press enter]

Then run:

M-x org-version
=====

Please try that and post the result.

Re: Problem with org-mode after upgradiing to org 8

[Sean O'Halpin]

Hi,

This might be something to do with the order in which package
initialization and the loading of your init.el file happen. I use the
following alias to put my local org-mode git repo paths ahead of
anything emacs does on launch (in startup.el or site-start.el, etc.):

: alias emacs='/usr/local/bin/emacs --eval '\''(progn (add-to-list
(quote load-path) "~/.emacs.d/org-mode/lisp") (add-to-list (quote
load-path) "~/.emacs.d/org-mode/contrib/lisp"))'\'''

This doesn't seem like a very elegant solution though - I too would
like to know what the 'proper' way to do this is (if there is one).

Regards,
Sean

Re: Problem with org-mode after upgradiing to org 8

[Roland Everaert]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 26015 bytes --]

Hi,

I don't have a .emacs file, I remove it years ago to use ~/.emacs.d/init.el.

With the minimal-config, the org version is "Org-mode version 8.3beta
(release_8.3beta-40-g9cf3c4 @
/home/reveatwork/.emacs.d/site-lisp/org-mode/lisp/)". So I have created a
file that load only org-mode and my configuration.

It begins like this:

(let ((default-directory "~/.emacs.d/site-lisp/"))
      (normal-top-level-add-to-load-path '("."))
      (normal-top-level-add-subdirs-to-load-path))

;; Load Org-mode
(add-to-list 'load-path "~/.emacs.d/site-lisp/org-mode/lisp")
(add-to-list 'load-path "~/.emacs.d/site-lisp/org-mode/contrib/lisp")
(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.\\(org\\|org_archive\\)$" . org-mode))


The right version of org-mode is loaded, but I have an error upon starting
emacs. Below is the backtrace:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (void-variable org-element-block-name-alist)
  add-to-list(org-element-block-name-alist ("HTML" .

If I remove de call to (require ox-*) where * is the export format to load,
I have no error.

Re: Problem with org-mode after upgradiing to org 8

[Roland Everaert]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 26630 bytes --]

After many test, I have decided to re-install org-mode from git n a brand
new directory. Now I have no more the problem with loading the exporters. I
have not yet tested all the features I used from org-mode but everything
seems fine so far.


Thanks for your help,

Roland.

org-element-block-name-alist is defined in org-element.el,
so you need to load that file before you can use it. Find
the place where you are setting it in your init.el and modify
it as follows:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
...
(require 'org-element)
(add-to-list 'org-element-block-name-alist
             '("HTML" . org-element-export-block-parser))
...
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

But I don't think you need to modify it at all: I start with a
minimal init file, do a (require 'ox-html) and
org-element-block-name-alist already contains the HTML element above.
This is with

Org-mode version 8.3beta (release_8.3beta-40-g9cf3c4)

YMMV of course if you are using a different version: there might be
a bug that has been fixed more recently - I haven't checked.
