Error about TODO sequence states with 6.09 on Emacs 22.1.1

Error about TODO sequence states with 6.09 on Emacs 22.1.1

[Daniel Clemente]

  Hi, I'm seeing a problem with TODO states in the latest org-mode version.


.emacs file to reproduce the bug::

---------
(add-to-list 'load-path "~/.emacs.d/org-6.09")
(require 'org)

 (add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.org$" . org-mode))
 (define-key global-map "\C-ca" 'org-agenda)

(setq org-agenda-files (quote ("/tmp/test.org")))

(setq debug-on-error t)

(setq org-todo-keywords
      '( (sequence "START(s)" "|" "ENDED(e)")
         (sequence "TODO(t)" "|" "DONE(d)")) )
---------


The file /tmp/test.org must exist, but its content doesn't matter; it can be empty.


Sequence to reproduce the bug:

1. open emacs
2. C-c a a
3. You get this error:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument stringp (sequence "START(s)" "|" "ENDED(e)"))
  regexp-quote((sequence "START(s)" "|" "ENDED(e)"))
  mapconcat(regexp-quote ((sequence "START(s)" "|" "ENDED(e)") (sequence "TODO(t)" "|" "DONE(d)")) "\\|")
  org-set-regexps-and-options()
  org-mode()
  set-auto-mode-0(org-mode nil)
  set-auto-mode()
  normal-mode(t)
  after-find-file(nil t)
  find-file-noselect-1(#<buffer test.org> "/tmp/test.org" nil nil "/home/tmp/test.org" (1391618 65024))
  find-file-noselect("/tmp/test.org")
  org-get-agenda-file-buffer("/tmp/test.org")
  org-prepare-agenda-buffers(("/tmp/test.org"))
  org-prepare-agenda()
  org-agenda-list(nil)
  call-interactively(org-agenda-list)
  byte-code(.....trimmed....)
  org-agenda(nil)
  call-interactively(org-agenda)


Versions:

Thanks,

Hi Daniel,

I get that error with the default org version which is 4.67 for me.  If
I change your .emacs to use my git sources it works.

,----
| (add-to-list 'load-path "~/git/org-mode/lisp")
`----

Are you sure you're using the latest org version?

  No. My emacs was using the default org version because my loading sequence was wrong. I changed it to:

(add-to-list 'load-path "~/.emacs.d/org-6.09/lisp")
(require 'org-install)

  instead of:

(add-to-list 'load-path "~/.emacs.d/org-6.09")
(require 'org)

  And it works very well.

  I thought that it would be (require 'org) like in other packages. In fact the problem was that I tried 'org and it WORKED more or less... but it was the old version.

  Thanks for pointing to the problem.
