Problem with (require 'org-toodledo)

[inuse]

emacs 24.3.1 on ubuntu
org-toodledo: Version: 20140331.606
org: Version: 20140825
both from melpa, toodledo sync was working very well until I foolishly upgraded org and org-toodledo

This is the error on startup, doesn't complete the load. Any ideas?

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (void-variable org-toodledo-fields)

FWIW, I saw this too. Uninstalled the org-toodledo package (using melpa), reinstalled it, worked.

[inuse]

No luck with that, alas. Tried uninstalling everything (org/org-toodledo) and reinstalling all from the same repo, as well. No change.

Can anyone chime in with a known-good (org,org-toodledo) version tuplet? Thanks.

[inuse]

If I manually define org-toofledo-fields in my .emacs (just cut and paste from org-toodledo.el, I get a successful startup, but then an error when I try to sync):

Symbol's function definition is void: org-toodledo-task-title

Is this a problem that org-toodledo.el isn't being loaded properly (is that even possible)?

[christopherjwhite]

In an effort to reduce warnings on load, I made org-toodledo-fields a constant that is evaluated at compile time using eval-when-compile. I'm wondering if it is not getting compiled (or compiled correctly). I'm using the same emacs version, but on Mac OS.

Try this:

1. Find the directory where org-toodledo.el resides (C-h f org-toodledo-sync then click on org-toodledo.el in the help area).
2. Then force recompilation: M-x byte-force-recompile and then enter the directory name

Let me know if that works for you.

[inuse]

That didn't help, alas.

I put the entire eval-when-compile block into my .emacs, and things load,
and an org-toodledo-sync starts to compare my local tasks with the
server's, but when I choose a version (local vs. server), it errors with
"Symbol's function definition is void: org-toodledo-context-to-id"

Hmm - did you leave "eval-when-compile" in there? I would say drop the
eval-when-compile. Make sure you have the line:

(org-toodledo-make-lookup-function "context")

As that is the line that creates the function
org-toodledo-context-to-id. If you're putting this in your .emacs, make
sure you put it after (require 'org-toodledo) to ensure that loading
the file doesn't undo what you just set in some way.

I've added that line, however moving it after (require 'org-toodledo)
throws the original "Symbol's value as variable is void:
org-toodledo-fields" error.

I've edited org-toodledo.el and commented out the eval-when-compile part
(lines 600 and 640) and everything is working now.

Strange though.

Arg, right. I may have just drop that eval-when-compile and refactor
that code. A lot of it is old old inherited stuff that could use a
refresh in how it's handled. It was a pain to try and get working in
the first place, so not entirely surprised that it caused a glitch.

Thanks for developing this, btw, I use it extensively.

Chris,

What's the roadmap for org-toodledo (if any)? Are you going to get it into
the Org-Mode distribution?

David Masterson
Programmer at Large

[srustamo]

I am having exactly the same problem, with < Debugger entered--Lisp error: (void-variable org-toodledo-fields)>error.
Emacs 24.3 (9.0) OSX., org-toodledo-20140331.606
Recompiling did not help.

The discussion above which helped inuse is a bit convoluted, I did not succeed with following his fix.

I suppose it will take some time to address this issue, meanwhile any clear instruction about temp fix for this would help.

[srustamo]

inuse's fix (commenting out lines 600 and 640), recompiling, adding (org-toodledo-make-lookup-function "context") in .emacs as suggested by christopherjwhite worked.
