Subject: 28.2; Todo-mode locks up when trying to edit an entry
Date: Sat, 7 Oct 2023 19:06:55 +0000

I am trying to explore using 'todo-mode' as a todo list and while I can
see and create entries in todo-mode using the normal functions, trying
to edit an item seems to cause emacs to soft-lock. I can reproduce this
in a config-less emacs via `emacs -Q`.

Basically, I have a todo-file at $HOME/.config/emacs/todo/tasks.todo,
this was created when using `todo-show` initially. The contents are not
very complex:

(("Emacs" . [1 0 0 0]) ("Home" . [1 0 0 0]))
--==-- Emacs
[2023-10-07] Learn Todo Mode

==--== DONE 
--==-- Home
[2023-10-07] Get new wiper blades

==--== DONE 

When on either of the items, if I hit 'e' to edit them, it causes emacs
to lock up, specifically around `todo-done-item-p()`. I found this out
by enabling `toggle-debug-on-quit`, reproducing the error, and the
C-g'ing out of the loop/lockup. I also tried to trace through the
todo-edit-item with edebug-defun. Stepping through, it seems to reach
the same predicate function and ... stop.

I'm not sure where to go from here.

Can you please show a complete, self-contained recipe for reproducing
the problem, starting from "emacs -Q"?  You almost did that, but for
someone like me, who doesn't use the todo-mode, there are still gaps.
A complete step-by-step recipe would go a long way towards filling the
gaps.

Thanks.

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

As we have discussed on IRC, the nonstandard timestamp format is the cause.
The hang is cause by the while loop `todo-item-start' not properly handle fail
case, however.

This patch would at least fix the hang.

Yes.  This is a duplicate of bug#55284.  At the time that bug was
reported, I didn't have time to try fixing it (being the todo-mode
maintainer), and later, unfortunately, I forgot about it.  I'll try to
look into it soon, but, as I noted in that bug thread, I think it's not
easy to fix.  One issue is that todo-mode basically employs the same
handling of date formats as diary-lib.el, and the ISO date style causes
problems there too, see bug#55286.

Thanks.  Even though this doesn't eliminate other problems with using
the ISO date style in todo-mode (or in the Emacs Diary), since it does
prevent the infinite loop here, it may be a good stopgap.

I guess I could also change back to 'american' or 'european' forms
instead of trying to force ISO8601. I appreciate the work being done.

I've finally attended to this bug.  The problem is due to using a faulty
regular expression for matching todo date headers in the ISO format.
There was a related bug report years ago about a diary display problem
with the ISO format (bug#8583), and the fix for that (whose author
conceded it was "ugly") points the way to a fix for todo-mode, see the
attached patch (which I have to concede is even uglier and more
complicated than the fix for bug#8583, but I couldn't find a better
way).  (I actually had been aware of the diary bug and the fix, but
didn't try to apply it to todo-mode back then; I don't remember exactly
why but I guess because I concluded it was not straightforward to adapt
the fix to todo-mode and since I didn't use the ISO format myself I
lacked motivation, also because there had been no todo-mode bug reports
about it -- until bug#55286 (and now the current bug), but by then I had
forgotten about bug#8583.)

With the attached patch I think this stopgap should be unnecessary: the
while-loop should no longer fail when the ISO date format is used
(barring any bugs in the patch, and if there are, it should fail so they
can be found and fixed).

However, using the ISO date format in todo-mode does necessitate
additional changes, in the code for editing todo item headers, which the
attached patch also includes.

Although with this patch todo-mode now supports the ISO date format,
there remains a problem.  Todo mode (like the Emacs Diary) uses the date
format specified by calendar-date-display-form, which is a user option
that has three default styles (American, European and ISO), which you
can change by customizing `calendar-date-style' or by executing
`calendar-set-date-style'.  But if you change it, that breaks using
todo-mode with any existing todo file that was created using a different
date format, in the same way that trying to use the ISO format with
todo-mode fails without the attached patch (i.e., the current bug).  (As
noted above with reference to bug#55286, the diary is subject to similar
breakage.)

After I came up with the attached patch to support the ISO date format
in todo-mode, I started tackling the issue of changing the date format,
and I now have what I think is a viable solution.  However, to implement
it I've had to make extensive changes in the todo-mode code, and also to
part of the internal structure of todo files (but not to the UI), and
I'm still testing these changes.  They include essentially the changes
in the attached patch (though partly in a more general form).
Therefore, what I'd like to do first is install this patch, after
waiting several days for any feedback.  I'll open a new bug to post and
discuss the more extensive changes I'd like to make.

I've now pushed the patch to master as commit 0bfe764fe56.
