org-crypt doesn't automatically encrypt on save

org-crypt doesn't automatically encrypt on save

[Rémi Letot]

Hello org-mode World,

is anyone successfully using org-crypt with
org-crypt-use-before-save-magic ?

I set it up as per the docs, but apparently the org-mode
before-save-hook is not populated with org-encrypt-entries as it should
when I open an org buffer, meaning that crypt tagged headlines are not
encrypted when I save the file

*but* it works if I manually call M-x org-mode after opening the file...

In summary:

C-x C-f test.org / M-x org-decrypt-entry / C-x C-s does not reencrypt
the entry

C-x C-f test.org / M-x org-mode / M-x org-decrypt-entry / C-x C-s does
work as expected.

Any idea ?

I'm using the Emacs Starter Kit, so that might interfere, but I can't
see how and where...

Thanks,

You need to load org-crypt and call org-crypt-use-before-save-magic
before you open the org file.

For instance, my configuration for org-crypt is
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(autoload 'org-decrypt-entry "org-crypt.el" "Decrypt the content of the current headline." t)
(autoload 'org-decrypt-entries "org-crypt.el" "Decrypt all entries in the current buffer." t)
(autoload 'org-encrypt-entry "org-crypt.el" "Encrypt the content of the current headline." t)
(autoload 'org-encrypt-entries "org-crypt.el" "Encrypt all top-level entries in the current buffer." t)

(with-eval-after-load "org-crypt"
  ;; Automatically encrypts everything that has the tag "crypt"
  ;; when you save the file
  (org-crypt-use-before-save-magic)
  (setq org-tags-exclude-from-inheritance (quote ("crypt" "Project")))
  (setq org-crypt-key "8NUMBERS")
  (setq org-crypt-disable-auto-save t)
  )
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Only this gives the same problem you have. When I decrypt an entry
org-crypt is finally loaded but since I'm already visiting the file then
the save magic will not kick in. In my case I only have one file where I
use org-crypt and I define the function below

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(defun my-find-senhas-org-heading nil
  (interactive)
  (require 'org-crypt)
  (find-file "~/org/passwords.org")
  )
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

If I often used org-crypt in any org file I would always require
org-crypt and call org-crypt-use-before-save-magic in my Emacs
configuration, but since I only use for this particular file, then
defining a function to visit this file works better for me.

I have this in my config:

  (add-to-list 'org-modules 'org-crypt)
  (require 'org-crypt)

So I think that's what is done. I also checked org-mode-hook on a fresh
start of emacs, and it does include a stanza for
org-encrypt-entries. C-h v org-mode-hook begins with this:

-----
Value: (#[nil "\300\301\302\303\304$\207"
       [org-add-hook before-save-hook org-encrypt-entries nil t]
       5]
-----

So I think that part is ok.

Now I visit a new file, say test.org, which doesn't exist yet. I create
one heading with a bit of content, tag it as :crypt:, and save the
file. Bam, it's not encrypted.

Now I call M-x org-encrypt-entries, and the heading is encrypted. So
org-crypt does work, I can decrypt and encrypt headings manually, but it
won't do it automatically. And indeed, before-save-hook is nil in a
fresh org file and stays so when I visit an org file.


Now I call M-x org-mode on that file, add a space so it is modified and
I can save it, call C-x C-s, and it is encrypted as it should. org-mode
set before-save-hook to (org-encrypt-entries t) as it should. Only I
have to manually call org-mode once the file is open, it won't do it
automatically.

I C-x k the file, re-visit it, and I have to call M-x org-mode on it
again before it will automatically encrypt the headings. All other
org-mode functionnality seems to work fine.

Any idea ?

Re: org-crypt doesn't automatically encrypt on save

[Darlan Cavalcante Moreira]

One note first, if you change org-modules manually like that you must
make sure this change is done before org-mode is loaded. I prefer to use
the customize interface just for org-modules for that reason.

I also add org-crypt to org-modules like you do. If I open my
password.org file and open it directly I will have the same behaviour
you get. Maybe the save magic does not work reliable when org-crypt is
loaded through org-modules, I'm not sure.

When I call my function that requires org-crypt and calls
org-crypt-use-before-save-magic before opening my password file
everything works. But I only do it like this because I have a single
file with encrypted entries and I prefer to delay loading org-crypt
initialization. I profiled my configuration some time ago and decided to
do that to reduce i little bit the initialization time.


Since you already require org-crypt, just add
"(org-crypt-use-before-save-magic)" after the require and see if that
solves your problem.

org-mode-hook not called when entering org files (Was: Re: org-crypt doesn't automatically encrypt on save)

look near the end of the post for org-mode-hook specific explanation :-)

Hmmm, the starter kit requires org in the very first step of
initialization, so that might be the problem... I dug a bit in the doc
and tried org-reload, which doesn't solve my problem...

I didn't know what org-modules did, so I had a look at the source (great
first for me :-) Apparently it just requires the listed extensions, so
requiring org-crypt does the same.

It's already just under the require :-)

Here is my complete org-crypt config:

  (add-to-list 'org-modules 'org-crypt)
  (require 'org-crypt)
  ; Encrypt all entries before saving
  (org-crypt-use-before-save-magic)
  (setq org-tags-exclude-from-inheritance (quote ("crypt")))
  ; GPG key to use for encryption
  (setq org-crypt-key "730D80837333AD60")

org-crypt-use-before-save-magic just populates org-mode-hook with a
before-save-hook, which is correctly done in my case. The trick is that
org-mode-hook doesn't seem to fire when I open an org file...

confirmed: I had a look at the other variables that it should change,
and they do not appear to be modified when I open an org file.

all org seems to work fine, but for some reason org-mode-hook is not
called when I open an org file...

Changing the title as I have a more precise problem :-)

That's very unlikely: the hook is run using a general emacs mechanism,
so if it were broken, a *lot* of things would be broken.

You can check with

(setq org-mode-hook nil)
(add-hook 'org-mode-hook (function (lambda () (message "RL - my org-mode-hook ran this"))))

perhaps in a minimal .emacs, and then opening a foo.org file (assuming
your auto-mode-alist is set up correctly).

I'd be really surprised if this does not work as expected. And if it
does, your problem is probably a bit deeper than "emacs does not run
the org-mode-hook": perhaps cleaning out your org-mode-hook, restarting
emacs and then adding things back in one at a time would help to figure
out the problem.

HTH,
Nick

emacs -Q, copied your instructions in scratch buffer and C-x C-e them
both, then opened my test.org file, and nothing happened.

Tried in another emacs -Q to set up a basic org-crypt using scratch:

(require 'org-crypt)
(org-crypt-use-before-save-magic)

C-x C-e on both, then opened a test.org. org-mode-hook is as it should,
but before-save-hook is nil.

Now I noticed a message that I have received for some times when I open
an org file:

File mode specification error: (error "`recenter'ing a window that does
not display current-buffer.")

I didn't notice it before since it has happened for quite some times and
didn't appear to cause any problem, but could it be the cause of this
problem ?

auto-mode-alist does include org-mode for org files.

Any idea ? is the error message that I receive a possible cause ?

Not sure where you get your org-mode, but unless you are using the
org-mode that was bundled with your emacs, this may not be enough:
you might have to do some org-mode initialization (hence the suggestion
for a minimal .emacs file below).

My advice would be to leave org-crypt to one side until you can get the
simpler test above to pass.

Yes, it might: Eric Fraga reported a problem where an error that's
caught causes buffer initialization to not run the hook:

    http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/90711

That *might* happen with your error too, although I cannot find the error
message either in current org-mode or current-emacs. Maybe I'm looking
in the wrong place, but which version of org-mode and which version of
emacs are you running?

That's the org-mode bundled with my emacs:
Org-mode version 8.2.6 (release_8.2.6-1 @ /usr/share/emacs/24.4.50/lisp/org/)
GNU Emacs 24.4.50.1 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.12.2) of 2014-08-23 on gkar, modified by Debian

it seems that emacs -Q is enough to get org-mode working since opening
an org file does trigger the error below :-)

See above, that's org currently bundled with emacs. I could be coerced
to try trunk if it has a chance to solve the problem and the test is
of some use to you, but then i have some docs to read first :-)

OK, it's probably caused by

    http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=17724

then. It's your choice what you want to do: you can wait until it's
fixed in emacs, or you can upgrade. The test is of no use to me: my
org-mode is working :-)

One more thing: see

Earlier today, Bastien said that that is on his radar: it might fix
your problem when it lands.

If you only use one file for your passwords and want it encrypted
