Re: [O] Babel: How to call code in one org file into another org file

[Lawrence Bottorff]

In my init file I have

(custom-set-variables

  . . .

   '(org-babel-lob-files

   (quote

    ("/home/hercynian/org/babeltest/a.org" "/home/hercynian/org/babeltest/b.org")))

that, of course, lasted an Emacs reboot after I had set them with customization. But then right after Emacs reboot, looking into the contents of `org-babel-library-of-babel`, I do not see the "association list" of the entire code blocks of a.org and b.org as I did in the last Emacs/org-mode session when I ran `org-babel-lob-ingest` on a.org and b.org. So `org-babel-library-of-babel` is populated only through `org-babel-lob-ingest`. Next question was, Does code alive in the current `org-babel-library-of-babel` make it live and ready to use? Apparently not. Experimenting has shown that starting Emacs not only does not auto-populate `org-babel-library-of-babel`, but even when I do a `org-babel-lob-ingest` on a.org and b.org, SLIME takes no notice and fails to see the functions in a.org and b.org.

Here's my `org-babel-library-of-babel`:

Value: ((multi_x2 "lisp" "(defun multi_x2 (x)\n  (* 2 x))"

           ((:comments . "")

            (:shebang . "")

            (:cache . "no")

            (:padline . "")

            (:noweb . "no")

            (:tangle . "no")

            (:exports . "code")

            (:results . "replace")

            (:session)

            (:hlines . "no"))

           "" "multi_x2" 0 18)

 (myadd "lisp" "(defun myadd (x y)\n  (+ x y))"

        ((:comments . "")

         (:shebang . "")

         (:cache . "no")

         (:padline . "")

         (:noweb . "no")

         (:tangle . "no")

         (:exports . "code")

         (:results . "replace")

         (:session)

         (:hlines . "no"))

        "" "myadd" 0 15))

which seems like my code block in c.org should know about them, right? No. Again, Babel LOB seems to have forgotten to tell SLIME the good news. But then maybe I need to say something specific in my add&multi_x2 code block about these helper functions I've got in a.org and b.org?
