[emacs-wiki-discuss] muse publishing seems broken...

[Paul Lussier]

Hi all,

I'm having trouble publishing my muse projects.  I'm not really sure
why, and can't seem to figure out the backtrace toggle-debug-on-error
provides.

I have the following in my .emacs:

(setq load-path (append load-path '("~/lisp/muse")))
(setq muse-file-extension nil
      muse-mode-auto-p t)

(require 'muse-mode)     ; load authoring mode

(require 'muse-html)     ; load publishing styles I use
(require 'muse-latex)
(require 'muse-texinfo)
(require 'muse-docbook)
(require 'muse-project)
(require 'muse-book)

(setq muse-project-alist
      '(("opsdocs"
        ("~/work/muse" :default "index")
        (:base "html" :path "~/public_html/muse")
        (:base "pdf" :path "~/public_html/muse/pdf"))

        ("userdocs"
        ("~/work/muse/UserDocs" :default "index")
        (:base "html" :path "~/public_html/UserDocs")
        (:base "pdf" :path "~/public_html/UserDocs/pdf"))

        ("WikiPlanner"        ;; use value of `planner-project'
         ("~/Plans"           ;; where your Planner pages are located
          :default "TaskPool" ;; use value of `planner-default-page'
          :major-mode planner-mode
          :visit-link planner-visit-link)

         (:base "xhtml"
                ;; value of `planner-publishing-directory'
                :path "~/public_html/Plans"))))

(defun muse-publish-my-books (&optional force)
  (interactive "P")
  (muse-book-publish-project
   '("opsbook"
     (:nochapters t  ; do automatically add chapters
     "~/work/muse"))
   "opsbook" "Ops Manual" "book-pdf" "~/public_html/muse/pdf" force))

(setq muse-project-alist '(
                           ("opsdocs"
                            ("~/work/muse" :default "index")
                            (:base "html" :path "~/public_html/muse")
                            (:base "pdf" :path "~/public_html/muse/pdf"))

                           ("userdocs"
                            ("~/work/muse/UserDocs" 
                             :default "index")
                            (:base "html" :path "~/public_html/UserDocs")
                            (:base "pdf" :path "~/public_html/UserDocs/pdf"))
                           
                           ("WikiPlanner"
                            ("~/Plans" 
                             :default "TaskPool" 
                             :major-mode planner-mode 
                             :visit-link planner-visit-link)
                            (:base "html" :path "~/public_html/Plans"))

                           ("Diary"
                            ("~/personal/diary"
                             :default "DiaryEntry" 
                             :major-mode planner-mode 
                             :visit-link planner-visit-link)
                            (:base "html" :path "~/personal/diary/www"))))


Yet, when I try to run run 'muse-project-publish', it bails out with:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument stringp nil)
  file-directory-p(nil)
  (and (not (file-readable-p ...)) (file-directory-p (file-name-directory ...))

muse-after-project-publish-hook) project) (if published (message "All pages in 
%s have been published." ...) (message "No pages in %s need publishing at this

  muse-project-publish(("opsdocs" ("~/work/muse" "index") (:base "html" :path

  call-interactively(muse-project-publish)
  execute-extended-command(nil)
  call-interactively(execute-extended-command)

And when I try using the 'muse-publish-my-books' as defined above, It
publishes some things, but ends up dying with:

Can someone help point me in the right direction, or help me determine
what the problem is? (is it likely a muse configuration issue?).

I've done a 'tla update' of muse, planner-muse, and remember fwiw, I
suspect only the update of muse was necessary.    

Thanks.
