Setting custom variables inside a function that is being tested #77

Closed ZelenyeShtany closed 1 year ago

ZelenyeShtany commented 1 year ago

Hello.

I have a function in which I call org-export-to-file function. Right before that call, I set some custom variables (that affect export results) from ox-icalendar package, and then set them back to initial values after the call. Everything works fine in a usual Emacs session, but when I run a test for the function, Emacs complains that those custom variables are void variables, and org-export-to-file function uses default values for these custom vars.

Is there something I can do about it?

Probably yes, but I need the project to see this myself, doesn't strike me as some problem that I immediately recognize.

ZelenyeShtany commented 1 year ago

I'm sorry, it happened because in my usual Emacs configuration I use orgmode on master branch, but Eldev was using builtin orgmode version.

Obviously, this is not an issue with Eldev.

Yes, see the section on project isolation. You can probably set some variables in file Eldev, always or in response to some hook, or in with-eval-after-load.
