Export error is back

[canweriotnow]

Same as #135, #146 - wrong-type-argument error on export, but with org-mode 20150921

[yjwen]

Just tried with org-mode 20150921, but no error found, either with ox-html or ox-reveal.

Could you please send me a sample .org file that can reproduce the issue?

[jnear]

I get this error too, using the Readme.org file in the repository:

apply: Wrong type argument: listp, #("Yujie Wen" 0 9 (:parent (#0)))

Using org-mode from elpa:

Org-mode version 8.3.1 (8.3.1-146-gfd8a18-elpa @ /home/jnear/.emacs.d/elpa/org-20150928/)

If I remove the title, author, and email lines from the Readme.org file then the export works fine.

[jnear]

Updated to org-mode 8.3.2 (8.3.2-10-g00dacd-elpa @ /home/jnear/.emacs.d/elpa/org-20151005/), the problem went away.

[canweriotnow]

Sorry, got distracted, I'll upgrade and try to reproduce and update asap.

[tworthington]

I'm on "Org-mode version 8.3.2 (8.3.2-10-g00dacd-elpa @ /home/thomas/.emacs.d/elpa/org-20151005/)" and getting the same error. furthermore, if I remove the first three lines of Readme.org I get this error instead:

org-reveal-append-frag: Symbol’s function definition is void: mapcar*

I'm on GNU Emacs 25.0.50.2 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.4.2) of 2015-10-14

[jnear]

The mapcar* problem is solved by loading the common lisp library:

M-x load-library RET cl RET

[tworthington]

@jnear Thanks, that solved the mapcar* issue.

[yjwen]

I installed Org-mode version 20151005 from ELPA, but (org-version) give me "Org-mode version 8.3.1 (8.3.1-129-ga7c8d2-elpa @ c:/Users/yujie/AppData/Roaming/.emacs.d/elpa/org-20151005/)".

Strange. Where is 8.3.2?

[Titan-C]

I can install the lastest orgmode version org-mode version 8.3.2 (8.3.2-10-g00dacd-elpa @ /home/oscar/.emacs.d/elpa/org-20151005/) The problem persist

[yjwen]

OK. I also installed org-mode 8.3.2. But I didn't encounter the export error.

Based on past experience, the Wrong type argument error should be at org-mode side which will also appear when exporting to HTML.

Let me fix the cl library issue first.

[yjwen]

Commit 30ff6a4 fixed the require cl issue.

[t-jones]

This had me pulling out my hair as well, but uninstalling/re-installing org resolved it for me. Running latest org from ELPA - Org-mode version 8.3.3 (8.3.3-2-g6bc48c-elpa @ /home/tim/.emacs.d/elpa/org-20160111/).

[imskull]

Wow, re-install org works.

[ryrun]

Got this error, too. Reinstalling org-mode doesn't work for me. I'm on windows 7, Org-mode version 8.3.4-39-ge0acd8-elpa, Emacs 25.0.50.1

Edit: Ok, i was able to fix it. I need to delete org, before i reinstall it again. Uninstall wasn't working for me. Now everything is fine.

[HiroshiMatsumoto]

I had the same problem. In my case, on mac environment, changing emacs solved this. I was using emacs from https://emacsformacosx.com/ Then switching to homebrew emacs solved it.

Both of them are using the same ~/.emacs.d configuration.

[blallau]

I have the same problem.

• org-git-version "8.3.4-60-g19cf68-elpa"
• Emacs 24.5.1

[To1ne]

I found this workaround solution: http://emacs.stackexchange.com/a/16616/2780 Actually only doing C-u M-x org-reload was enough in my case. But I need to run it every time I restarted emacs (fortunately that is not often).

[ghost]

I think this needs to be referred upstream. Org-mode has known problems related to this, one being that you have to make sure org is unloaded before you update.

[hackeryarn]

@To1ne Thank you so much, that was the only thing that worked for me. I am on OsX using newest version of everything.

[sotirop]

@To1ne This has worked for me. Have to run it every I open emacs.

[karbak]

Still seeing this happen with: GNU Emacs 25.1.1 (x86_64-apple-darwin15.6.0, NS appkit-1404.47 Version 10.11.6 (Build 15G1004)) of 2016-10-08 Org-mode version 8.3.6 (8.3.6-6-g194e51-elpa @ /Users/kar/.emacs.d/elpa/org-20161003/)

The StackExchange clean start/uninstall/install method did not work, but the org-reload method did fix the issue. Any luck with taking this upstream?

[libichong]

To solve #-TITLE can't be exported problem

1. Manually install elpa package and try several other sources
2. delete all the elc files in org folder, byte-compile the folder
3. Replace all the files with older version

[tosmi]

same here, running emasc 25.1.1. this comment fixed it for me: https://github.com/yjwen/org-reveal/issues/171#issuecomment-229180318. seems to be a problem with compiling org-mode from elpa if the built in org-mode is already loaded. so

• emacs -q
• remove org with package-list-packages then quit emacs
• emacs -q and reinstall org-mode from elpa

running fine now with org 9.0.5 (elpa 20170210). and just for reference i'm a use-package user.

[skyer9]

@To1ne This has worked for me.

[jgkamat]

For anyone still strugging with this, a more permanent solution might me to enable async byte compilation of org for updates. See the emacs-async readme for more information. I think it essentially runs a clean background emacs to do the actual byte compile, which ensures you won't get these problems. Magit and helm seem to have this enabled by default.

[gkbio]

I got this problem when I upgraded my Org package from the default version.

I fixed the problem without deleting any org folders and just by reloading uncompiled org.

System Config: I am running WSL on windows 10 - > Emacs 25.3.2 and Org 9.1.14

Temporary Solution:

Emacs File Menu -> Org -> Refresh/Reload ->Reload Org Uncompiled C-u C-c C-x !

Permanent Solution Delete all .elc files (compiled binary) in installed Org packages and restart emacs. (this has been mentioned by others in the same chat group)

cd /home/user/.emacs.d/elpa/org- cd org-20181008/ cd org-ac-20170401.1307/ cd org-ref-20181010.2343/ rm -r *.elc

[yjwen]

Seems the issue has gone. Closing.
