I was trying to use org-babel-execute-buffer to update all org-babel code block results for a org document. It works fine when the code block is visible, but when it's hidden, I got the "user-error: No surrounding element" error and nothing was executed.
Adding `(outline-show-all)` fixed this issue for me. Does this look like a good solution? -- Wei

Subject: [PATCH] ob-core.el: Fix "No surrounding element" error
* ob-core.el (org-babel-execute-buffer): Show all outlines before
execution.
Without this, when outlines are hidden,
executing (org-babel-execute-buffer) gives "No surrounding element"
error.
