Bug: org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift throws error [9.3 (release_9.3 @


From: skaphle
Subject: Bug: org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift throws error [9.3 (release_9.3 @ /usr/share/emacs/27.1/lisp/org/)]

Summary: using org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift on an entry with the ID 
property and a timestamp causes an error or does not create different IDs, 
which worked before 27.1.

Long Description:

I have a calendar file with a lot of entries, but I slimmed it down to a MWE:

=== begin MWE ===
* my appointment with id
  :PROPERTIES:
  :ID:       048c5a49-1aed-45d4-b7a9-34caf4f13266
  :END:
  <2020-11-15 Sun 15:30>
  example text
=== end MWE ===

I create such an entry routinely via a capture template with a timestamp and I 
add the text, and the ID is created with (add-hook 
'org-capture-prepare-finalize-hook 'org-id-get-create). For repeating tasks, 10 
weeks ago and before (i.e. before I updated to 27.1), I used to use `M-x 
org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift <RET> 10 <RET> +1w <RET>` and I got 10 
repetitions, each with a separate unique ID.

I tried this now and I get an error "wrong-type-argument stringp nil", with the 
backtrace described below. If I change the order of the timestamp and the 
properties drawer in the MWE, I get the date-shifted clones but each with the 
same ID. In my calendar file with lots of entries, I still get the same error 
if I change the order, so I suspect that the function is context sensitive.

Anyway to reproduce the error,
1. save the above MWE in an org file
2. open the file with emacs -Q
3. activate debugger with `M-x toggle-debug-on-error <RET>`
4. run `M-x org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift <RET> 10 <RET> +1w <RET>`

The following backtrace is then produced:

=== begin backtrace ===
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument stringp nil)
  string-match("^/tmp_mnt/" nil)
  abbreviate-file-name(nil)
  org-id-add-location("9f1a8e57-e9be-42aa-a113-f8f478cc2a1b" nil)
  org-id-get(1 create)
  org-id-get-create(t)

  execute-extended-command(nil "org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift" "org-clone")
  funcall-interactively(execute-extended-command nil 
"org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift" "org-clone")
  call-interactively(execute-extended-command nil nil)
  command-execute(execute-extended-command)
=== end backtrace ===
