Hello,

I encounted the same error and I found it happens because "org-eldoc.el" doesn't reflect a value of "org-src-lang-modes". When I redefine "org-eldoc-get-mode-local-documentation-function" to reflect a value of "org-src-lang-modes" as below, the error disappeared.

    (defun org-eldoc-get-mode-local-documentation-function (lang)
      "Check if LANG-mode sets eldoc-documentation-function and return its value."
      (let ((cached-func (gethash lang org-eldoc-local-functions-cache 'empty))
            (mode-func (org-src--get-lang-mode lang))
            doc-func)
        (if (eq 'empty cached-func)
            (when (fboundp mode-func)
              (with-temp-buffer
                (funcall mode-func)
                (setq doc-func (and eldoc-documentation-function
                                    (symbol-value 'eldoc-documentation-function)))
                (puthash lang doc-func org-eldoc-local-functions-cache))
              doc-func)
          cached-func)))

The practical change is a one line.

I confirmed this change works good on the following two environments.

- Emacs 26.1 on Windows 10
  - (emacs-version) ; GNU Emacs 26.1 (build 2, x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.22.30) of 2018-05-29
  - (org-version) ; Org mode version 9.2.2 (9.2.2-13-g0007df-elpaplus @ /home/kai2nenobu/.emacs.d/elpa/org-plus-contrib-20190318/)

- Emacs 26.1 on Ubuntu 18.04 on WSL (on above Windows 10)
  - (emacs-version) ; GNU Emacs 26.1 (build 1, x86_64-w64-mingw32) of 2018-05-31
  - (org-version) ; Org mode version 9.2.1 (9.2.1-8-g1b1797-elpaplus @ c:/Users/kai2nenobu/.emacs.d/elpa/org-plus-contrib-20190211/)


I'm ready to contribute this patch, but I don't know how to contribute to "org-eldoc.el". Please tell me how to do it.


Best Regards,

I'm Cc'ing Org Eldoc author about it.

We don't test contrib packages. However, they can provide their own
tests.
