`:discard` breaks org-agenda-redo when processing the time grid #215

Open stites opened 2 years ago

I have the following configuration at the top level of my configs (I removed irrelevant agenda commands, so beware of unbalanced parens).

(setq org-agenda-custom-commands
      '(
      ;; ...
      ("x" "Overview/span1"
         ((agenda ""
                  ((org-agenda-start-day "0d")
                   (org-agenda-span 1)
                   (org-super-agenda-groups
                    `((:discard (:deadline (after ,(org-read-date nil nil "+14d"))))
                      ))))))
      ;; ...
       ))

This configuration works on the first load; however, when I refresh the page, I get the following stack trace (from emacs --debug-init) which crashes my agenda view.

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument stringp nil)

I am currently using org-super-agenda at the current head of master: fb5e2ef.

I understand that relative date support is in the hands of the user (re: #59) -- as an elisp novice, I could easily be doing something wrong. Any help with this bug or my configuration would be appreciated!

Rubber-ducking this a little. I /think/ it trying to discard the non-header lines from the agenda view and discard them, but it's reading them as strings and not org elements. the " northeastern..." is coming from the expected view of my agenda:

Thursday    3 February 2022

 Today
  northeastern: 8:00am...... calendar event 
               8:00am...... ----------------
               9:48am...... now - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
              10:00am...... ----------------
              12:00pm...... ----------------
  northeastern: 2:00pm...... calendar event
               2:00pm...... ----------------
               4:00pm...... ----------------
  seminars:    5:00pm...... a seminar title 
               6:00pm...... ----------------
               8:00pm...... ----------------
  todo:       Deadline:   TODO [#A] ...removed...
  todo:       Deadline:   TODO ...removed...

If this intuition is correct, then I would expect this to be a bug with a simple fix of swallowing the error when discarding in a time-grid (with more or less work done verifying that the discard is happening in a time grid). Looking at the codebase, however, I have no idea how to start tackling this problem.

I think this also means there must be a more convenient way to discard events this way. I, personally, couldn't figure this out from the documentation so if this is expected behavior please let me know and I can submit an update to the README.

Attempting to work in an org-super-agenda-only mode returns the same error with the following configuration:

("x" "Overview/span1"
         ((agenda ""
                  ((org-super-agenda-groups
                    `((:discard (:deadline (before ,(org-read-date nil nil "-1d")) ))
                      (:discard (:deadline (after ,(org-read-date nil nil "+1d")) ))
                      ))))

          ))

Thanks for reporting this. I probably won't have time to debug this soon, so patches welcome.
