Trying to filter nodes with ancestors containing "hello" in the headline

(org-ql--query-string-to-sexp "ancestors:query=h:hello") (org-ql--query-string-to-sexp "ancestors:h:hello") (org-ql--query-string-to-sexp "ancestors:(h:hello)")

Observed results

None of the queries I constructed in analogy with the readme works.

Expected results

I want to use the "line syntax" with nested queries somehow

Backtrace

No error

Etc.

No response

alphapapa commented 4 weeks ago

Yes, this is simply not supported yet, as the non-sexp parser is too naive to handle nested queries. See https://github.com/alphapapa/org-ql/pull/251, which would probably enable that with a bit more work. I intend to merge it eventually, but my time for big issues in my Emacs projects is limited right now.
