I recently wrote what I thought to be a very simply she'll script to tangle a file; simply call the script on a file, e.g. 'tangle corgi.org' and a file, 'corgi.rb' (assuming one uses Ruby) appears in the local directory.
Tangling the file from within Emacs works normally. Tangling from this script does not work; the only interesting response is "tangled 0 code blocks from corgi.org". The same file tangles two blocks from within Emacs. It seems that the org-babel-tangle function is using some piece of information present in the normal Emacs loading sequence which is not found during the script load. I could provide a large number of files, but I imagine that the problem will be obvious to someone here. What is wrong with this code? #!/usr/bin/emacs --script ;; The subdirectory ~/.emacs.d is to be added to the top-level elisp ;; file search. (progn (cd "~/.emacs.d") (normal-top-level-add-subdirs-to-load-path)) ;; Org-Mode, Org-Babel, and the tangle library are required, if we are ;; to proceed further. (require 'org-install) (require 'org) (require 'ob-tangle) ;; Load the main configuration and setup file. (require 'ob-ruby) (require 'ob-python) (require 'ob-emacs-lisp) (require 'ob-lisp) ;; Tangle all files given. (dolist (file command-line-args-left) (princ file) (org-babel-tangle-file file))
