Not triggering on links anymore.

[agzam]

For some reason it stopped working for links and I can't figure out why. What's the best method of debugging this?

I'm trying to eval (org-appear-manual-start) while cursor at the link, it reports returning t, but nothing is happening.

I tried funneling things through the Profiler (simply moving cursor in and out, around the square brackets of a link), it shows org-appear--post-cmd, but perhaps, it doesn't seem to trigger some preliminary function. Is that right?

33,282   1% - org-appear--post-cmd
32,258   1%  - org-appear--current-elem
32,258   1%   - org-element-context
19,648   0%    - org-element-at-point
19,648   0%     - org-element--parse-to
 8,384   0%        org-element-headline-parser
 7,600   0%    - org-element--object-lex
 7,600   0%     - org-element-link-parser
 1,024   0%        org-link-unescape

Testing it the same way with "bold" elements appears to run org-appear--show:

10,704   0%   - org-appear--show-with-lock
10,704   0%    - org-appear--current-elem
10,704   0%     - org-element-context
10,704   0%      - org-element--object-lex
10,704   0%       - org-element-bold-parser
10,704   0%        - org-element--parse-generic-emphasis
10,704   0%         - rx-to-string
10,704   0%          - rx--translate
10,704   0%           - rx--translate-form
10,704   0%            - rx--translate-seq
10,704   0%             - rx--translate
10,704   0%              - rx--translate-form
10,452   0%               + rx--translate-or
252      0%               - rx--translate-not
252      0%                  rx--generate-alt

And it works with bold elements as before. Why it's no longer working for links? Can't figure it out.

Hi, @agzam! Thank you for posting the issue!

What is your Org and Emacs version? I suspect this issue might be related to #5 -- you can check if your Org version has org-fold merged by evaluating (featurep 'org-fold).

[artelse]

Am having the same problem with links not expanding. I run Emacs 29 master and org 9.5.4 and org-fold is present (of course).

[agzam]

Mine is Org mode version 9.6 (9.6-??-7c51329), running on GNU Emacs 29.0.50 (build 2, x86_64-apple-darwin21.5.0, NS appkit-2113.50 Version 12.4 (Build 21F79)) of 2022-06-05

Thank you again, @agzam and @artelse, for the input! The issue is now fixed.

[artelse]

Tested, fixed, thx!

[agzam]

@awth13 Thank you for fixing it promptly. I discovered 'org-appear' a long time ago, thought: "wow, this is cool", added it to my config and quickly forgot about it.

The most efficient software is like a killer move in the martial arts - the deadliest blows cannot be seen with a naked eye, things happen in an instance - there's nothing cinematic or cool about the fight.

That's what I felt using 'org-appear'. It has become part of my daily workflow. It's been great and worked almost undetected. Until one day it stopped working. And then I felt miserable. I realized how much I've become accustomed to the tiny feature of gracefully hiding and revealing things. Thank you for this gift. Thank you for giving me (and many others) the power of being an Org-mode ninja.

[awth13]

Thank you for the kind words, @agzam! I'm glad you enjoy using org-appear :)

It seems that this issue has reappeared in Org v9.6.1 :-(

Anyone having the same experience?
