I am trying to establish an ox-hugo workflow using the Auto-saving feature described in the official website. However, when trying to enable it using the following snippet:

(("content-org/"
  . ((org-mode . ((eval . (org-hugo-auto-export-mode)))))))

I receive the following error:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (invalid-function ("content-org/" (org-mode (eval org-hugo-auto-export-mode)))) (("content-org/" (org-mode (eval org-hugo-auto-export-mode))))

Any ideas why the official doc instructions would not be valid?

  • Where are you putting this snippet? It should be in a file called .dir-locals.el in the project root. Emacs has different evaluation rules for such a file and it looks, from yr debugger output, that they have not been applied in yr case.

  • @FranBurstall you were right, i was including the snippet in my .emacs file! I did not know there were differences in evaluation of these. If you make this an answer I'll gladly accept it

You must put this snippet in file called .dir-locals.el in the project root. This file is read by emacs with special evaluation rules in place which differ from those with which .emacs and most other .el files are read.
