Having trouble setting the project start date, which results in a
build error since my project started before today, and the default
project start appears to be today's date. This was with no
customization to the top level headline. Intuitively, I added a
:start: property like so:
#+begin_src org
* Project :taskjuggler_project:
:PROPERTIES:
:start: 2013-03-01
:END:
#+end_src
This results in (no change from exporting with no :start: property:
#+begin_src TJ
project nil "Project" "1.0" 2013-03-25 +280d {
}
#+end_src
>From digging around in ox-taskjuggler.el, it looks like the project
gets defined here:
#+begin_src ox-taskjuggler.el (line 607)
(defun org-taskjuggler--build-project (project info)
"Return a project declaration.
PROJECT is a headline. INFO is a plist used as a communication
channel. If no start date is specified, start today. If no end
date is specified, end `org-taskjuggler-default-project-duration'
days from now."
(format "project %s \"%s\" \"%s\" %s %s {\n}\n"
(org-taskjuggler-get-id project info)
(org-taskjuggler-get-name project)
;; Version is obtained through :TASKJUGGLER_VERSION:
;; property or `org-taskjuggler-default-project-version'.
(or (org-element-property :VERSION project)
org-taskjuggler-default-project-version)
(or (org-taskjuggler-get-start project)
(format-time-string "%Y-%m-%d"))
(let ((end (org-taskjuggler-get-end project)))
(or (and end (format "- %s" end))
(format "+%sd" org-taskjuggler-default-project-duration)))))]
#+end_src
I'm no esliper, but I think I can track that the consecutive =%s=
arguments are replaced by the successive function calls. That, and
=org-taskjuggler-get-start project= looks like the ticket. That
function is here:
#+begin_src ox-taskjuggler.el (line 372)
(defun org-taskjuggler-get-start (item)
"Return start date for task or resource ITEM.
ITEM is a headline. Return value is a string or nil if ITEM
doesn't have any start date defined.."
(let ((scheduled (org-element-property :scheduled item)))
(and scheduled (org-timestamp-format scheduled "%Y-%02m-%02d"))))
#+end_src
So, that suggested that perhaps I needed to use :scheduled: instead of
:start:. I tried that with the same results. It appears that this
property /is/ applied at the task level for the top headline, however:
#+begin_src TJ
task project "Project" {
purge allocate
allocate jwhendy
start 2013-03-01
...
}
#+end_src
So, it applies :start: to the top level project in the /task/
definition area, but doesn't apply it to the very top level project
definition.
Any suggestions?
