byte-code: Symbol's value as variable is void: org-clock-line-re

[csdrane]

I'm fully updated with Spacemacs (0.104.2) + the org layer (8.2.10). Emacs is version 24.5.1.

I get this error from various unrelated actions, such as trying to export as markdown, and from hitting M-RET for org-meta-return. A cursory google search shows that this is common error resulting from an installation error.

Didn't feel comfortable tweaking the layer in my own install for fear of breaking updates, so posting this here.

Maybe you have violated this?

My only reference to org in the .spacemacs is adding it to
dotspacemacs/layers, so I don't think so?

You seem to have an older org version that me though, so at least it could be worth updating your packages. If you have an org folder in .emacs.d/elpa make sure to delete it.

@csdrane do you have some news about this issue ?

[csdrane]

No updates. M-RET still produces the error. org-export-as-markdown
produces a different, unrelated error:

@csdrane It would help if you can give more information, such as in the template presented here.

Same issue here. Actually my org-mode is unusable and everything was working about 2 weeks ago. Emacs sucks, just look at how many issues spacemacs has.
Best solution is vim/markdown!!

We use Github issues for bug tracking, mailing list and forum, so it's not surprising if there are a lot of issues.

same here, both error byte-code: Symbol's value as variable is void: org-clock-line-re and progn: Wrong number of arguments: #[(templates) "ŠebˆÆ....

@nrolland If you have some customization for org in your .spacemacs, be sure to follow this.

@StreakyCobra merci

Two versions of ORG mode exist, fix is to delete the old version.
My environment: Msys2; emacs_64
I installed GNU version of ORG ( 8.3.4 ) which was installed at .emacs.d\elpa\org-20160530
Fix: I had to rename/delete ORG folder msys64\mingw64\share\emacs\24.5\lisp\org

For me the problem was an outdated org package. Seems I have a builtin org-mode 8.2, but manually installing an up-to-date package and restarting emacs helped.
