Publishing not working: troubleshooting

Publishing not working: troubleshooting

[Leo Ferres]

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone could help me with this. I guess this
question has been asked before, but I couldn't find an answer.
Apologies.

The setting:

I have a require entry in my .emacs that reads:

(require 'dervin-org-projects)

and a file dervin-org-projects.el that reads:

(require 'org-publish) ;; I've tried without this as well
(setq org-publish-project-alist
      '(("orgfiles"
	 :base-directory "~/org/courses/"
	 :base-extension "org"
	 :publishing-directory "/ssh:myuser@myhost:~/public_html/"
	 :recursive t
	 :publishing-function org-publish-org-to-html
	 :exclude "PrivatePage.org" ;; regexp
	 :headline-levels 3
	 :section-numbers t
	 :table-of-contents nil
	 :auto-preamble t
	 :auto-postamble nil)

	("images"
	 :base-directory "~/org/courses/images"
	 :base-extension "jpg\\|gif\\|png"
	 :publishing-directory "/ssh:myuser@myhost:~/public_html/"
	 :publishing-function org-publish-attachment)

	("other"
	 :base-directory "~/org/courses/other/"
	 :base-extension "css\\|el\\|pdf"
	 :publishing-directory "/ssh:myuser@myhost:~/public_html/"
	 :publishing-function org-publish-attachment)
	("courses" :components ("orgfiles" "images" "other"))))

(provide 'dervin-org-projects)

When I attempt to publish the project with C-c C-e X, and I choose
"courses", absolutely nothing happens. There's not even a message that
appears. I therefore don't know how to troubleshoot this by myself.
Could anyone help?

Thank you and best regards,

Dervin

Why do you require org-publish?  Shouldn't you be setting up the regular
org environment?  I don't have a require org-publish in my .emacs...

I'm thinking you haven't done the standard org-mode setup with

(require 'org-install)

which sets up the keyboard mappings.  What is C-c C-e mapped to for you?

C-c C-e is mapped to org-export for me.

Hi, Bernt;

My C-c C-e is indeed mapped to org-export... the project, however,
does not get published. If I export the file to html, that does work.
It's just org-publish-org-to-html that seems to be broken for me.

Any ideas?

Leo

Okay, so if you can select "courses" than this must mean that the
project definition was picked up by the require.

I would approach this problem as follows:

  - check the :exclude property -- maybe the regexp is wrong and
    matches all files;

  - remove the timestamps in ~/.org-timestamps -- maybe org-publish
    doesn't publish because it considers the files not to be modified;

  - set the publishing directory to a local path (i.e.: simplify the
    project to find the glitch)
