Hello,

I encountered an issue with `org-mode' in my Emacs configuration
related to periodic clearing of the refile cache during idle time.  I
am using the following code snippet, which runs during idle time to
clear the cache of refile targets:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(run-with-idle-timer 600 t (lambda ()
                             (require 'org-refile)
                             (org-refile-cache-clear)
                             (org-refile-get-targets)))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

As far as I can tell, the code is syntactically and semantically
correct.  However, it doesn't seem to work as expected and triggers
an error.  After enabling `toggle-debug-on-error', I found the
following error message in the morning:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument stringp nil)
  looking-at(nil)
  org-refile-get-targets()
  (closure (t) nil (require 'org-refile) (org-refile-cache-clear) (org-refile-get-targets))()
  apply((closure (t) nil (require 'org-refile) (org-refile-cache-clear) (org-refile-get-targets)) nil)
  timer-event-handler([t 0 600 0 t (closure (t) nil (require 'org-refile) (org-refile-cache-clear) (org-refile-get-targets)) nil idle 0 nil])
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

However, when I manually execute the `org-refile-get-targets' function,
it works without any issues.  Unfortunately, I cannot provide a more
reproducible scenario beyond what I've described here.

For further investigation, I am attaching links to my complete Emacs
configuration in the hope that it might help.  These are permalinks
to the specific commit reflecting the state of my configuration at
the time of the error:

You are running `org-refile-get-targets' using idle timer.
It means that it may be called in any buffer.

At the same time, you have (nil :maxlevel .4) in your
`org-refile-targets', instructing Org mode to examine current buffer for
refile targets.

Since you are on 9.6.15, Org mode should actually barf if
`org-refile-targets' is called in non-Org buffer.
So, I am a bit puzzled why you are running into errors that seemingly
originate from deeper into `org-refile-get-targets' logic (there is a
single `looking-at' call in `org-refile-get-targets' and it is after
checking major mode).

My only guess is that some of your Org buffers is not properly
initialized somehow. Maybe the timer is triggering in the middle of Org
mode loading or something?

I find it challenging to pinpoint the exact cause of the issue.
However, I can provide some additional context that might help.  The
problem seems to occur when I'm not using my laptop—often at night,
which aligns with the time `run-with-idle-timer' is triggered.
During these moments, my configuration and environment are relatively
static, as the workstation is idle.  I usually leave it in that state
in the evening, and the problem is only noticeable in the morning.

It's worth noting that the issue doesn't happen consistently — not
every night or even every week.  It just occasionally arises, leaving
me puzzled about what might need adjustment or modification to
prevent it.  Given its sporadic nature, I'm at a loss for how to
reproduce it consistently.

There is literally one lead, and it's this code snippet that I just
removed from my configuration:

         (org-agenda-files :maxlevel . 4)))

 ;; Targets start with the file name allows creating level 1 tasks.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

It was added as part of one of my experiments, and I apparently don't
need this functionality at all.  So, I can easily remove it to test
this hypothesis. Unfortunately, I don't have any other leads at the
moment.

I would greatly appreciate any advice on how to investigate this
further or understand the root cause of the problem.

What you might do is adding
a check whether `org-complex-heading-regexp' is nil in any of the
buffers returned by your `my-org-opened-buffer-files' and raise an error
telling which buffer it is.

You may then check what's up with that buffer.

Best,
Ihor
