[O] :noweb-ref property inheritance failure?

[D Bro]

Both 26.0 and 25.1 on OS X 10.12 via homebrew, using the Spacemacs configuration.

I recently tried the weaving technique from http://orgmode.org/manual/noweb_002dref.html#noweb_002dref :

* Create 

#+NAME: TestDemo2

#+BEGIN_SRC java :classname TestDemo2 :noweb yes :tangle yes

  <<testdemo2>>

#+END_SRC

#+BEGIN_SRC elisp

(format "%s" (org-babel-expand-src-block testdemo2))

#+END_SRC

**Let's see what our code-weaving produces

:PROPERTIES:

:header-args: :noweb-ref testdemo2

:END:

*** this is how we will assemble our code:

  #+BEGIN_SRC java

    public class Yo {

      public static void main (Args[]) {

  #+END_SRC

*** body

  #+BEGIN_SRC java

     return "The test worked!";

  #+END_SRC

*** foot

  #+BEGIN_SRC java

    // <<test-foot>>

    }}

  #+END_SRC

*** weave together

- which will weave together the above blocks to produce this:

  #+BEGIN_SRC shell :results org :exports none

  cat TestDemo2.java

  #+END_SRC

I have tried both   (setq org-use-property-inheritance (quote (noweb-ref))) and   (setq org-use-property-inheritance t), both at org-mode load and from within the org file in question.  Also, note that I am using the 9.0 syntax, which I believe Spacemacs loads as part of its org-mode layer.

The result is always an empty TestDemo2.java file.  What’s interesting is that if I run org-babel-expand-src-block I see this:

public class Yo {

  public static void main (Args[]) {

return "The test worked!";

// 

}}

cat TestDemo2.java

If I add :noweb-ref to each block, it works.
