Run into "range error" while opening a .md file

[hy-zhao23]

Hi, Here is what I get in my emacs when I open and click a .md file in a md roam project.

 The error was: (error "rx ‘**’ range error")
 Backtrace:
"  backtrace-to-string(nil)
  org-element-at-point()
  org-back-to-heading(t)
  org-back-to-heading-or-point-min(t)
  org-roam-id-at-point()
  org-roam-ui--update-current-node()
"
 Please report this to Org mode mailing list (M-x org-submit-bug-report). 

I have reported this to org-mode contributors. And they think it might because md-roam package modified `org-roam-buffer-p' and caused the breakage.

Hope this could help you to fix the issue.

Does this happen any md file?

[hy-zhao23]

It happens when I open a new md-roam project, then open a file in it and click inside inside that file for the first time. I have been managed several roam projects with .dir-locals.el files. I don't know if this approach would cause the problem.

Does it happen when you open a md file in a directory without .dir-local.el?

Does it happen when you open every md file? (I am suspecting that the content of the file may influence the behavior).

Also, whats your org version and Emacs version?

[nobiot]

Additionally, you seem to be opening a md file from org-roam-ui. Does the problem happen if you open the same file from within Emacs via find-file?

[hy-zhao23]

Org: 9.7 Emacs: 28.2

It only happens for the first file visiting with SPC-p-p. And I can't trigger it now after I redefined org-roam-directory, which is useless for my workflow.

But once I redefined org-roam-directory, I can't use multiple roam projects anymore under md-roam. For example, when I try to find a node under a project with SPC-n-r-f, the pop-up window is blank. And it works pretty well under org-roam no matter that directory is defined or not.

Plus, I started run into errors as the following when I disabled the directory definition Error caused by user's config or system: /Users/melody/.doom.d/config.el, (file-missing Opening directory No such file or directory /Users/melody/Documents/emacs/org/roam)

I guess it might come from a recent update, because it works fine before that when I can both define the directory and use .dir-locals.el to manage multiple projects.

It is resolved after I disable org-roam-db-autosync-mode, which caused the conflicts I guess. Thanks for your help!

[hy-zhao23]

After I disabled definition of directory, turn off org-roam-db-autosync-mode and tried to use dir-locals.el to enable multiple projects. The problem appears again when I tried to open another file with SPC-n-r-f. Please check the error message below:

Warning (org-element-cache): org-element--cache: Org parser error in 23-08-10-explanation.md::215. Resetting.

This might be unrelated but I ran into the same error when adding a markdown file containing a #+title: 1 inside of a codeblock. Removing the line or even adding ;; for comments resolved the issue.

Hopefully d05d867 fixes the issue. Let me know how you go. Closing for now.
