Table formula from code block

Table formula from code block

[Roger Mason]

Hello,

I have these code blocks:


================================================================================
#+BEGIN_SRC sh :tangle "skribilo_to_engine.sh"
#!/usr/local/bin/bash
infile=$3
engine=$2
skribilo=$1/skribilo

rm -rf $engine; mkdir -p $engine

result="Failed"
$skribilo  -t $engine -o $engine/$infile.$engine $infile.skb
[ "$(ls -A $engine)" ] && result="Success"

if [ -e "setup.tex" ]
then
mv setup.tex $engine/
fi

echo "$result"

#+END_SRC

#+BEGIN_SRC sh :results none
chmod u+x skribilo_to_engine.sh
#+END_SRC

#+NAME: skribilo_to_engine
#+BEGIN_SRC sh :results output replace :var path="/opt/skribilo-git/bin" :var engine="" :var infile="Author_7960"
./skribilo_to_engine.sh $path $engine $infile
#+END_SRC
===============================================================================


I tangle the code block and make it executable.  I think it should be
possible to run the code blocks from the table, but it errors out:

#+tblname: summaries
| engine  | To Engine |
|---------+-----------|
| context | #ERROR    |
#+TBLFM: $2='(org-sbe "skribilo_to_engine" (engine $1) )

(See
http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/babel/intro.html#arguments-to-source-code-blocks).

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,
Roger

Hello,

I think there are several problems, starting with BEGIN_SRC sh and some
more. But fixing them doesn't bring success. I even have trouble to get
a minimal example to work:

#+NAME: foo
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(+ 4 4)
#+END_SRC


|  bar   | foo    |
|--------+--------|
|     42 | #ERROR |
#+TBLFM: $2='(org-sbe "foo")::$1=42


I'm not sure, what the problem is. Looking at org-sbe there is
something, I don't understand. In the end org-babel-execute-src-block is
called. That executes the _current_ source code block. But I don't
understand, how foo (in this example) becomes the current source code
block. Can someone explain, please? Is there a side effect, I don't see?
Or maybe a regression?

Hello Roland and Michael,

Thank you both for looking at this.

I will give that a try, thank you.

I have experimented some more and discovered that I can get the code to
work if I wrap the table entries in quotes, i.e. making them into
explicit strings:

#+tblname: display-results
| skribilo path           | infile             | engine    | To Engine | To Typeset |
|-------------------------+--------------------+-----------+-----------+------------|
| "/opt/skribilo-git/bin" | "skribilo-input-1" | "context" | Success   | Success    |
#+TBLFM: $4='(org-sbe "skribilo_to_engine" (path $1) (infile $2) (engine  $3) )::$5='(org-sbe "engine_to_typeset" (path $1) (infile $2) (engine  $3) )

Maybe emacs has a means of doing that wrapping, but the things I tried
(like concatenating the quotes with the table entry with (concat...)) did
not work.

I see that in your example you refer to the column heading in the
#+TBLFM line.  In my working code I refer to the columns by number ($1,
$2 etc).

I'm appending the current version of the code, in case anyone is
interested.

Cheers,
Roger

* The result table
Should be able to run the tests from the table.  See
http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/babel/intro.html#arguments-to-source-code-blocks
for using a table as input to a source block.

This only works if the engine entries are explicit strings.  There
must be a better way.

It ought to be possible to set the =path= and =infile= variables
globally.  I tried using =#+PROPERTY:= (see above) to no avail.

I searched this: 'org-mode set default value for source block input
variables' but did not finish reviewing the results.

The tests for Success are not very robust.

There is a thread of Karl and me talking about that, maybe in last
november or december.

Uhm, no ;). Unfortunately the column and the script block share the same
name in the example. That should be no problem, I changed that and still
no success with current Org. Org 8 works as expected.

well, the docstring is a bit misleading, IMHO. Current source code block
means that the function looks around to find a source code block. I
though, it means the source code block 'I am in' at the moment.

I've tracked it down to org-babel-check-confirm-evaluate so far. In the
let*, export and eval are nil. The 5. element of info is nil, that means
(goto-char (nth 5 info)) will barf. Hmm.

Works fine for me with relatively recent org from git.

Well, I have just this minute updated and tried again.  It still works

I must doing something wrong. But what? I've changed org-bbdb, but that
shouldn't interfere.

ohschockschwerenot, I found it. I set org-confirm-babel-evaluate to a
function that does look at the body of the code block and then decides
if it should be executed without confirmation or not.

I'm not sure, why that is a problem. In the case of the examples, the
function returns t and that is the default value of o-c-b-evaluate.

Interesting.  I cannot help with this but I would be quite interested in
seeing your function in case it's something I could use!  Would it be
possible to share?

it's quite a hack. I don't want Org to evaluate source code blocks
without confirmation. This could lead to all sorts of trouble. On the
other hand, there are a few source code blocks, that I want to eval
without confirmation. So I use this:


(defun hmw/org-post-publish-export-confirm-evaluate (lang body)
  (not (string-match "^#post publish exporter" body)))
  
(setq org-confirm-babel-evaluate 'hmw/org-post-publish-export-confirm-evaluate)

A source code block looks like follows:

#+BEGIN_SRC shell :exports results :shebang #!/bin/sh :var SRCDIR=(expand-file-name (plist-get plist :base-directory)) :var DESTDIR=(expand-file-name (plist-get plist :publishing-directory))
#post publish exporter
(
echo "Starting esxwithforeman.org $(date)"

cd ${SRCDIR}
....
echo "Finish esxwithforeman.org $(date)"
) >> /tmp/c0t0d0s0_publish.log 2>&1
#+END_SRC

As you can see, this is not a security feature, esp. now that I
published it ;).

I just tried the Org version, that comes with Emacs (8.2.10) and there
the above example works as expected.
