Edit failed, looking for node on the wrong level?

[mobileorg-android on behalf of hjh]

Not sure if this was already reported... earlier today, I edited a
node on level 4 (added a payload). Synchronizing and pulling got me
this in from-mobile.org:

* Heading not found on level 1: Audio class F(edit:addheading)
[[olp:semester-fall.org:Audio class/Sessions/Audio class 14/To include
from last week][To include from last week]]
** Old value

** New value
Dump or abbreviate "specific drums" section
** End of edit

If I'm reading the error message correctly, is looking for "To include
from last week" on "level 1," which I suppose means one asterisk, when
it actually exists in the file at level 4. But the olp: link target
does reflect all the parent nodes.

I'm not totally sure how I should interpret this. Thanks.

Please post the version of mobileorg and org-mode you are using.

MobileOrg is the very latest from the google play store (updated minutes
ago -- the first bugfix release). Org-mode is 7.9-34-g4ca67b.

Ok, it seems that this is a bug in the org-mobile-pull function in
org-mode. It would be helpful if you could try to narrow down a setup when
this happens. I'm aware that under certain circumstances the nodes aren't
added correctly, but I haven't managed to figure out when this
happens. This has to do with how the particular org-mode function finds the
heading it is trying to create the heading under. Can you try
adding/removing newlines and headings in between the relevant entries and
describe what works and what doesn't?

Even though this is a org-mode issue you can create a bug report in our
issue tracker.

Ok, it seems that this is a bug in the org-mobile-pull function in

org-mode. It would be helpful if you could try to narrow down a setup when
this happens.

I finally figured this out. I want to have a different file name for my
school org file depending on fall or spring semester, but I hoped to avoid
changing org-agenda-files once a semester. So I symlinked
semester-fall.orgto ~/Documents/mobileorg/
semester.org.

It seems that org-mobile-push resolves the symlink to determine the
filename to drop into the online share. So MobileOrg knows about
semester-fall.org, but there is no file by that name in the directory
containing the files used for org agendas. (I already found, the hard way,
that mobileorg doesn't like it if those files live in more than one
directory.) So, org-mobile-pull opens an empty buffer for
semester-fall.organd, as it's empty, of course the parent node can't
be found.

So it seems not a mobileorg bug at all, but rather a "Why the
blippity-blank does org-mode not simply use the org-agenda-files names *as
I gave them*, instead of 'cleverly' replacing them with the symlink
targets' names?" I know org-mode is super-humanly smart, but I'm not crazy
about it second-guessing me...

org-mode, for being a simple plain text format, is *really* complicated
when you dig down into the details.

I haven't had trouble with files in different subdirectories of
org-directory. Not sure if that could help you.

No, it's not feasible for me to move all the agenda files under the same
org-directory (subdirectories or no).

I'll ask on the org mailing list why symlinks are resolved to the target
filenames.

I found another specific bug that is not related to the filename scenario:

* Heading not found on level 1: SC stuff F(edit:addheading)
[[olp:agenda_main.org:SC stuff/FAQs to write [29/44]][SC stuff/FAQs to
write [29/44]]]

There's a slash in the heading, and mobileorg truncates the
edit-heading at the /.

I use org-mode in Windows and I had problems to sync headline with slashes, too.
I took them off and now it seems ok. Tks.
