Re: [O] local variables to initialize org buffer?

[Lawrence Bottorff]

I've got this in my config.org , which is called by my init.el:

#+begin_src emacs-lisp

  (defun borgauf/execute-startup-block ()

    (interactive)

    (progn (org-babel-goto-named-src-block "startup")

   (org-babel-execute-src-block)))

#+end_src

then in my org-mode file I have this at the bottom:

* Comments

#+name: startup

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :results silent

;(progn (slime) (org-babel-execute-buffer))

(slime)

(org-babel-execute-buffer)

#+END_SRC

# Local Variables:

# eval: (borgauf/execute-startup-block)

# End:

This is starting the slime repl just fine, but not doing the (org-babel-execute-buffer). I can then manually run C-c C-v b and it indeed runs all the code blocks. So, I'm guessing that after the (slime) is performed, it doesn't return focus to my calling org-mode buffer and the (org-babel-execute-buffer) is running to no avail in the slime repl buffer?

It is discouraged but not disallowed.  I use this:

# eval: (esf/execute-startup-block)

where

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (defun esf/execute-startup-block ()
    (interactive)
    (org-babel-goto-named-src-block "startup")
    (org-babel-execute-src-block))
#+end_src

which will execute any org src block named startup whenever I visit the
file (but with confirmation required).  It is incumbent on me knowing
that the src block is safe to execute and I only say yes for files that
are mine.
