Running Doom Emacs 2.0.9 on Emacs 26.3.

I have a test.org as follows:

* h1                                                            :tag1:tag2:
* h2                                                                 :tag2:
** h21
** h22
* h3                                                                 :tag1:
** h31
** h32

init.el does not carry any customization for any org variable.

When I run org-agenda m it provides tag1 and tag2 to choose from. But when selected it does not produce any results. Can this be achieved without a predetermined list of agenda files?

When I do org-sparse-tree m for tag1, it continues to show the file as it is. I thought it would only show tag1 items.

What is wrong? How do I set things right?

  • With org-sparse-tree, does it not fold the h2 heading?

  • @NickD No. It doesn't. Hence, the question. I could understand no entries showing up in agenda view. But org-sparse-tree was totally unexpected

  • In my case, org-sparse-tree m tag1 unfolds h1 and h3 and folds h2, If I select tag2 then h1 and h2 are unfolded and h3 is folded. I would suggest you run with emacs -q and a minimal init file, so that you can check whether your init file does something bad.

If the value of org-agenda-files is a directory, by default all files with the extension .org will be considered for the agenda. See C-h v org-agenda-files for more information.

  • Thanks. I can understand the agenda not showing. What is more surprising is that the sparse tree also is not showing. Or does org-sparse-tree also require the file to be an org-agenda file?
