diary-anniversary doesn'work om Mac osx 12.6.3

diary-anniversary doesn'work om Mac osx 12.6.3

[Renato Pontefice]

I’ l try here, because I’m really confused about this prob.

I try to perform this simple line of emacs manual (this is the perfect page of the manual where I took this: where I took this: "31.13.10 Sexp Entries and the Fancy Diary Display”). Because trying to learn emacs I would try as many entry possibile as I could (I know I can obtain that in a different way).

But on my Mac OS X platform I cannot obtain the right result.
I’ve tried with:
- emacs ver 26.2; 28.3; 28.3 (via terminal “emacs -Q” and via GUI With or without a init.el file

-aquamacs 3.6 (that use emacs 25.3.50.1)
And finally, I’ve installed a VM, running Debian 11 and try it running emacs by terminal and typing ORG-AGENDA ret a
I obtain the agenda with the correct entry.

So I’m wondering:
Maybe Mac osx does not contain the right (elisp?) code to obtain that?


Any suggestion will be appreciate, because I cannot explain to my self this

Thank you

Renato

Could you please detail what exactly you tried? How did you use
diary-anniversary? What did you put into diary file? Or did you use
diary sexp style timestamp? Did you enable org-agenda-include-diary?

Have you tried 'org-anniversary' instead of 'diary-anniversary'?

All the best,
Gautier.

I tried the above and can hear error being signalled:

Bad sexp at line 4 in /tmp/bug.org: (let ((entry Arthur's birthday (%d years old)) (date '(1 30 2023))) (diary-anniversary 2023-01-30))
Bad sexp at line 4 in /tmp/bug.org: (let ((entry Arthur's birthday (%d years old)) (date '(1 31 2023))) (diary-anniversary 2023-01-30))
Bad sexp at line 4 in /tmp/bug.org: (let ((entry Arthur's birthday (%d years old)) (date '(2 1 2023))) (diary-anniversary 2023-01-30))

Bad sexp at line 4 in /tmp/bug.org: (let ((entry Arthur's birthday (%d years old)) (date '(2 5 2023))) (diary-anniversary 2023-01-30))

Your diary entries have wrong format.

If you do <f1> f diary-anniversary <RET>, you will see

(diary-anniversary MONTH DAY &optional YEAR MARK)

So, the correct entries will be

%%(diary-anniversary 01 30 1948) Arthur's birthday (%d years old)

%%(diary-anniversary 01 30 2023) Arthur's birthday (%d years old)

org-anniversary uses more conventional year-month-day order:

%%(org-anniversary 1948 01 30) Arthur's birthday (%d years old)
