Re: [O] org-depend: TRIGGER XYZ(KEYWORD) not working

[Adrian Bradd]

Hi Karl,

 

Examples:

     * Top-Heading

     ** TODO Here I invoke org-todo to DONE
     :PROPERTIES:
     :TRIGGER: 2017-12-03-target(TODO)
     :END:

     ** This should be changed to TODO
     :PROPERTIES:
     :ID: 2017-12-03-target
     :END:

... this is working (i.e., "This should be changed to TODO" gets its
TODO keyword).

     * Top-Heading with process indicator [0/2]

     ** TODO Here I invoke org-todo to DONE
     :PROPERTIES:
     :TRIGGER: 2017-12-03-target(TODO)
     :END:

     ** This should be changed to TODO
     :PROPERTIES:
     :ID: 2017-12-03-target
     :END:

... this is *not* working.

However, anticipating the wrong position:

     * Top-Heading with process indicator [0/2]
     :PROPERTIES:
     :TRIGGER: 2017-12-03-target(TODO)
     :END:

     ** TODO Here I invoke org-todo to DONE
     :PROPERTIES:
     :TRIGGER: 2017-12-03-target(TODO)
     :END:

     ** This should be changed to TODO
     :PROPERTIES:
     :ID: 2017-12-03-target
     :END:

... is working. And according to this:

     * Top-Heading with process indicator [0/2]
     :PROPERTIES:
     :TRIGGER: 2017-12-03-target(TODO)
     :END:

     ** TODO Here I invoke org-todo to DONE

     ** This should be changed to TODO
     :PROPERTIES:
     :ID: 2017-12-03-target
     :END:

... this is also working. So the update of the process indicator
causes the wrong property drawer to be parsed for the relevant
TRIGGER property.

Contrary to my previous assumption, this is issue is *not* related
to big and small files. This is purely related to the existing or
missing process indicator of the upper-level heading.

I guess I have found the origin of the bug.

​I'm not able to reproduce what you are seeing above.​ Even instances with a progress indicator correctly triggered if the TRIGGER property was set. Your final example updates the "Here I invoke org-todo to DONE" entry to DONE and doesn't touch any other heading for me.

I did see an issue with triggered headings not honouring note logging when the todo was set to DONE, but I haven't looked any closer at it just yet.

What version of org-mode are you running? If you are using the git version can you pull the latest on maint. I performed my testing on maint.

 

Can you please do me the favor and fix it for me. I feel

extraordinary proud of me having dig into elisp (which I don't know
how to code mostly) and found the bug ;-)

However, I can't fix it on my own :-(

​Even just being able to dig through some code and debug can be a major benefit. :-)

 

Why did nobody tell me about org-edna yet? ;-)

​I found out on the mailing list as well. Doubt I would have even stumbled upon it otherwise.

Cheers,

Adrian
