Hello all,

I updated org today and now get

Bad sexp at line 461 in /home/ucecesf/s/notes/diary.org:
   (let ((entry ) (date '(4 19 2022))) (diary-float t 2 3))

for a line that looks like

<%%(diary-float t 2 3)>

This has been in my diary for a very long time with no error.  I wonder
if this has anything to do with the changes to the use of advice?
Nothing else in the recent changes in the git log seem to be relevant.

Just a quick heads up as I don't have time to debug at the moment.  It's
not mission critical...

Have a good weekend all.

I've had the same problem after updating org from git with entries like

%%(org-anniversary 2000 4 4) X is %d years old


The commit introducing it is
https://github.com/bzg/org-mode/commit/6d73cd34a07796c33f9435bfc8c9a19e67656c7a

And the problem is gone, after reverting

	 (result (if calendar-debug-sexp (eval sexp t)
		   (condition-case nil
		       (eval sexp t)

back to

	 (result (if calendar-debug-sexp (eval sexp)
		   (condition-case nil
		       (eval sexp)

in org-diary-sexp-entry in org.el.

I wrote about in on Reddit:
https://www.reddit.com/r/orgmode/comments/tvwxv0/the_commit_on_apr_1_2022_broke_organniversary_for/

Kind regards,
Christian

Confirmed.  Reverting this particular change makes diary sexps work
again properly (i.e. without complaint).

Thank you,

More accurate error can be found after setting calendar-debug-sexp to t.
I got the following backtrace clearly indicating lexical scope issue:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (void-variable entry)
  (diary-float t 2 1)
  (let ((entry "") (date '(4 5 2022))) (diary-float t 2 1))
  (eval (let ((entry "") (date '(4 5 2022))) (diary-float t 2 1)) t)

Best,
Ihor

Which makes sense.  The diary code does use entry and date as global
variables so really needs updating...

It looks like the source of the problem with unit tests that I faced 
yesterday trying to look closer at the bug with daylight saving time in 
agenda.

Bad sexp at line 25 in /home/ubuntu/src/org-mode/testing/examples
/agenda-file.org: (let ((entry ) (date '(3 25 2022))) (diary-date 3 25 
2022))

      ((should
        (= 3
           (count-lines ... ...)))
       :form

    FAILED  255/900  test-org-agenda/property-timestamp (2.018120 sec)

Should be fixed now in f6813dbe. See https://orgmode.org/list/87zgkxjb0m.fsf@gnu.org

I guess we can permanently bind calendar-debug-sexp to non-nil in tests.
It should help if we encounter diary-related issues in future.

WDYT?
