Separate function for config listing from org-submit-bug-report

Separate function for config listing from org-submit-bug-report

[Jeff Kowalczyk]

The code to list a user's Org configuration which differs from the defaults is
very useful. However, I've never run the M-x org-submit-bug-report command to
completion, since I'm prompted for my GMail IMAP password before the config
output is shown. I wouldn't want to spam the list with test data.

I'd like to make a feature request that the configuration-dump code be
refactored to a separate command which can be inserted at point or to a new
buffer. org-submit-bug-report would call this function to build it's message.

I couldn't get the form inside of (org.el):

 (when (yes-or-no-p "Include your Org-mode configuration ")
 .... )

to execute in the scratch buffer.

Thanks,
Jeff

Hi Jeff,

I don't know why you are being prompted for you IMAP password,
but regardless of this the email should not be send automatically.
So I think you can go through the process and then copy the text and  
just not
send the message!

I cannot easily isolate this, because my code only produces the list
of interesting variables.  Some code in reporter.el does the quoting
and insertion.

The email client is is wanderlust, and it must be trying to initialize a draft
message on Google Mail when creating a send message buffer. You are correct, it
did give the opportunity to cancel the message before sending. Thanks,

Do you have any ideas how to get the following function to work? It is intended
to insert the configuration at point:

(defun org-dump-configuration ()
  "Call reporter-dump-state (pkgname varlist pre-hooks post-hooks)"
  (interactive)
  (require 'reporter)
  (reporter-dump-state
   (org-version)
   (let (mylist)
     (mapatoms
      (lambda (v)
        (and (boundp v)
          (string-match "\\`\\(org-\\|outline-\\)" (symbol-name v))
          (or (and (symbol-value v)
                   (string-match "\\(-hook\\|-function\\)\\'"
                    (symbol-name v)))
              (and
               (get v 'custom-type) (get v 'standard-value)
               (not (equal (symbol-value v) (eval (car 
                                    (get v 'standard-value)))))))
          (push v mylist))))
     mylist)
   (insert "")
   (insert "")
   )
  )

The error message seems to indicate that parameter 'varlist' is not populated
correctly.

Emacs  : GNU Emacs 23.1.1 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.18.0)
 of 2009-09-28 on thinkpad
Package: Org-mode version 6.32trans (release_6.32b.8.g089b)

current state:
==============
State could not be dumped due to the following error:

(wrong-type-argument integer-or-marker-p nil)

You should still send this bug report.

I believe there is some environment like reporter-status-count or  
reporter-status-message that needs to be scoped in with let, maybe  
other variables too...
