org-capture broken? [latest org master build]

Hi all,

My org version is

Org-mode version 8.3.4 (release_8.3.4-1019-gd44086 @
/home/kmodi/usr_local/apps/6/emacs/emacs-25/share/emacs/site-lisp/org/)

After doing M-x org-capture, when I pick one of my templates, I get:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument stringp nil)
  looking-at(nil)
  org-fix-position-after-promote()
  org-do-demote()
  org-datetree-insert-line(2016 6 nil nil)
  org-datetree--find-create("^\\*+[ ]+%d-\\([01][0-9]\\) \\w+$" 2016 6)
  org-datetree-find-date-create((6 27 2016))
  org-capture-set-target-location()
  org-capture(nil)
  funcall-interactively(org-capture nil)
  call-interactively(org-capture nil nil)
  command-execute(org-capture)

Looking at

(defun org-fix-position-after-promote ()
  "Fix cursor position and indentation after demoting/promoting."
  (let ((pos (point)))
    (when (save-excursion
   (beginning-of-line 1)
   (looking-at org-todo-line-regexp)
   (or (equal pos (match-end 1)) (equal pos (match-end 2))))
      (cond ((eobp) (insert " "))
   ((eolp) (insert " "))
   ((equal (char-after) ?\ ) (forward-char 1))))))

I see that the value of org-todo-line-regexp is nil.

Is anyone else seeing that?

Thanks.

I just realized that now sexp's are not evaluated in org-capture-templates
(
http://orgmode.org/cgit.cgi/org-mode.git/commit/?id=5485170263a46fa17db67b0324c4c4e48bcdfe49
 ).

Should this be added to ORG-NEWS for org 9.x?

Earlier I had the 'expand-file-name' form inside the org-capture-templates.
Moving it out helped.

    (defvar modi/org-capture-journal-file (expand-file-name "journal.org"
foo-directory))
    (defvar modi/org-capture-notes-file (expand-file-name "notes.org"
foo-directory))
    (setq org-capture-templates
          '(("j" "Journal" entry ; `org-capture' binding + j
             (file+datetree modi/org-capture-journal-file)
             "\n* %?\n  Entered on %U")
            ("n" "Note" entry ; `org-capture' binding + n
             (file modi/org-capture-notes-file)
             "\n* %?\n  Context:\n    %i\n  Entered on %U")))
