Cryptic errors? #36

Closed jrmiller82 closed 4 years ago

jrmiller82 commented 4 years ago

Hi all:

I can't get a single org-web-tools-FOO command to work. I keep getting things like /443 Name or service not known

or Before first headline at position 1 in buffer FOO.org.

Any ideas as to what I'm doing wrong?

There's no all, it's just me.

You would have to be more specific in order for me to offer help.

So I have an org file containing the following only

- [[https://lawjrm.com]]

And I try to run org-web-tools-convert-links-to-page-entries and all I get is "before first headline at position 26 in buffer test.org".

Thoughts?

If I put the same link in the clipboard, and run org-web-tools-read-url-as-org I get Bad url: /

The docstring for org-web-tools-convert-links-to-page-entries says it operates on the current entry. An Org entry is a headline and its content. The example you gave is a file without headlines, which doesn't work.

If I put the same link in the clipboard, and run org-web-tools-read-url-as-org I get Bad url: /

What is the actual, complete content of the clipboard when you call the command? What is the first entry in the Emacs kill ring?

I figured it out. Thank you for your posts. I'm sorry I didn't read the docs first; I only read the readme in the repo. This is such a good plugin! Thank you for writing it!
