Agenda error

Agenda error

[Rick Moynihan]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 479 bytes --]

When at home I get the following error in org-mode when bringing up the Agenda:

Wrong type argument: stringp, nil

I don't get this error on my setup at work.

I am using org 4.77 (reports as 4.76) with GNU Emacs 22.1.50.1
(i686-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.10.11) of 2007-06-09.  This version
of Emacs came from the Gentoo masked ebuild so there may be some
issues with it.

For the M-x toggle-debug-on-error backtrace see the attached file.

Thanks for the backtrace.  This seems to be an odd error that can happen
when a buffer without a filename is current when accessing the agenda,
so this could be sensitively dependent on setup.

This problem will be circumvented in the next version.  Thanks.

Re: Agenda error

[Carsten Dominik]

Hi Rick,

this remains a hard error to catch.

 From the backtrace, it seems that this happens in one of the
diary functions.  I guess you do `org-agenda-include-diary'?
Do you have a "~/diary" file at the computer where this happens?
If you just start the calendar with M-x calendar, and then
press "d" to display the diary, does this work flawlessly?
How about when you do

(add-hook 'diary-display-hook 'fancy-diary-display)

Does this work without problems?

Thanks.

- Carsten

Re: Agenda error

[Rick Moynihan]

Hi Carsten,

As seems to be increasingly the case it took me a while to look into
this, but when I did, with your insights it turned out to be only a
few minutes work.

It turns out that I had a ~/diary/ directory not a ~/diary file.  It
was hence fixed with a simple:

~ rmdir ~/diary/
~ touch ~/diary

Thanks again,

R.
