Warning: Unused lexical variable ‘group’

[vikasrawal]

I just get this when I call org-sidebar (M-x org-sidebar):

Warning: Unused lexical variable ‘group’

Do I need some customization before I use it?

[alphapapa]

No, you can ignore that warning.

Please see the commit I just pushed, which should solve that warning. Thanks.

Now I get all these: Warning: Unused lexical variable ‘buffer-or-path’ Warning: Unused lexical variable ‘group’ Warning: Unused lexical variable ‘super-groups’ Warning: Unused lexical variable ‘source-buffer’

And I do not get any sidebar.

I get no warnings and it works for me. Try reinstalling the package. I recommend using Quelpa, like this:

(use-package org-sidebar
  :quelpa (org-sidebar :fetcher github :repo "alphapapa/org-sidebar"))

I use this to make it easy: https://github.com/alphapapa/unpackaged.el#upgrade-a-quelpa-use-package-forms-package

Now, after I start emacs, open an org buffer, and do M-x org-sidebar:

I get the message: Function provided is already compiled [2 times]

No sidebar still.

Is there something else I need to install?

[alphapapa]

Thanks for reporting these problems. I just pushed some fixes and tested in a clean Emacs, and it works now. Please install/update the package again and let me know if it works for you.

I realise the message "Function provided is already compiled" comes from a file that does not have any TODO items but has some scheduled items that do not have a TODO state. Ideally, such items should show in the agenda. Once I put a TODO state for at least one item in the file, everything works.

Please ignore that message, it's not relevant to the problem you seem to be having.

You'll have to be more specific.

Also, we need to use more specific terms. The Org Agenda is a specific tool built-in to Org mode. org-sidebar does not provide an Org Agenda view. Some of its functionality is similar, but it is not the same tool. So there is no "agenda" in org-sidebar.

[vikasrawal]

I got confused because org-sidebar uses the term "Agenda items" and since I was originally looking for a solution to show my agenda in the sidebar.

All I was saying is that, if my file has scheduled items but no todo item, the sidebar is not shown. It just gives the message: "Function provided is already compiled", and nothing happens. A better behaviour would be to show the top section of the sidebar with Scheduled items.

Yes, the terms are a bit confusing, sorry about that. It's hard to find a way to say, "This is sort of like the Org Agenda, but not exactly." Please let me know if you have any suggestions for this.

This isn't the case for me. For example, with this test file:

blahblah

* A
SCHEDULED: <2019-07-19 Fri>

blah

When I run org-sidebar, I get one sidebar window that says, org-sidebar: agenda items in file.org, and it displays:

    A  today

If it's not working for you, be sure that all of the related packages are up-to-date.
