This have been fixed in 83674b3.

all are updated, reinstalled yet to no avail.

Yes, perhaps but be sure to reinstall helm first, restart emacs and then reinstall wgrep, otherwise if you did it in the other sens wgrep is compiled with the old helm. I red again your report on stack exchange it is really the same bug I fixed some time ago (due to incompatible changes in helm, sorry). With the good install I can't reproduce. The reason is before I was getting the file names from help-echo property and now I get them from helm-grep-fname property so wgrep must do the same. Also be sure when you reinstall to compile from outside emacs and restart emacs. Try this and let me know if you stiil have the issue. Thanks.

I don't know how to reinstall helm from outside emacs (clone of githubt) without breaking org-ref stuff, at restart emacs complains that org-ref needs helm<5.5.1> version which I removed form the elpa folder.

I rely solely on package.el management system, except for org from github and with loaded path. Some recommend using el-get.el, others second cask. Which one do you think is useful in cases such as this one? Your advise would be very much appreciated. I would adopt what you suggest if that will solve the problem without doing all that reinstall and install stuff from outside emacs.

This confirm that you just have to cleanup your package installation to make all working properly. Your problem is you have compiled a recent version of a package (wgrep) with a old version of helm and now the compiled code cannot work properly, so you have recompile wgrep with the corresponding new helm code. You don't have to build helm from git, just use package.el. 1) Reinstall helm. 2) Restart emacs. 3) Reinstall wgrep. 4) Restart emacs.

No I even don't know how to use these tool, use package.el or installation from git.

It didn't work either. I did the following:

From inside Emacs M-x package-list-packages, I deleted all three helm, wgrep and wgrep-helm by pressing D and then x to delete them from within the packages buffer. However, for helm package I could not delete it completely as others, it changed status from installed to dependency and I don't know which dependency is that.
Restarted Emacs,
Installed helm shown as dependency, and changed to installed by pressing I and then x to execute installation.
Restarted Emacs
Reinstalled wgrep and wgrep-helm together, again by pressing I and then x.
Restarted Emacs.
The same problem remains. What do I miss here? thanks.

Same you are still using old helm compiled files not compatible with new wgrep.

Uninstall all packages that requires helm, then uninstall helm and reinstall it, restart emacs and reinstall all the packages you have uninstalled one by one. BTW Once helm is installed I suggest to use M-x helm-list-elisp-packages to manage your packages.

The linked issue on the first message no longer works (please, people, provide proper bug reports instead of a link) but I must mention that I don't use helm and too often wgrep does not apply all the changes. I operate on buffers produced by ag. My wgrep is version 2.2.0 I just came back here to grab the most recent version.

xuanni · Answer 12 · Mon Sep 02 2019 14:14:56 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

Make sure buffer is not read-only (if so customize wgrep change read-only flag), and also file is not write-protected (file mode).

Gary Oberbrunner · Answer 13 · Sat Oct 05 2019 05:32:24 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

I'm having the same problem operating on ag buffers. I use wgrep-change-to-wgrep-mode (at this point the ag buffer is not read-only), make some changes, C-x C-s, and it goes through each change and turns the text red (on the green background) and says "there are 9 unapplied changes. (0 changed)". I see nothing in the *Messages* buffer. Not sure where to go from here!

Gary Oberbrunner · Answer 14 · Sat Oct 05 2019 05:38:23 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

Ah, I think I see what's going on -- ag uses --column so the matches look like this:

tests/unit/store/project.spec.ts:12:8:import shotStore from '@/store'

Note the :8 which I think wgrep-mode isn't expecting. Unfortunately that can't be turned off for ag-mode.

Gary Oberbrunner · Answer 15 · Sun Oct 06 2019 07:39:00 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

Answer: use the wgrep-ag package; that fixes this.

Alastair · Answer 16 · Tue May 05 2020 20:24:31 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

Another cause of the edits failing to be applied is when helm presents the "file name" as the uniquified buffer name. The uniquified file name cannot be found in default directory, so wgrep cannot apply the change.

Workarounds:

Kill similarly named buffers so that the relevant buffer name is no longer uniquified.
Use wgrep-ag

^ I just encountered a case similar to this. I have a buffer "log" and another "log.org", changes cannot be applied to "log", when I close the "log.org", it works fine. I wonder why wgrep just look at the file name without extension?

Artur · Answer 18 · Mon Nov 13 2023 17:48:11 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

In my case after pressing ZZ I'd get the message 'There are 34 unapplied changes. (0 changed)' and the files in the wgrep buffer would turn red/orange. Also many autosave (#.) files would appear in magit status as untracked.

Then I tried M-x wgrep-save-all-buffers and the changes were applied successfully.

Pablo Stafforini · Answer 19 · Wed May 08 2024 20:58:15 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

I am experiencing this as well. In my case, I collect the search results via consult-ripgrep, followed by embark-act, embark-export and wgrep-change-to-wgrep-mode. When I invoke wgrep-finish-edit, sometimes a subset of the files is not saved.

I suspect that it is related to the file extension or the major mode (or something else that correlates with a file extension) since I recently performed a massive search and replace involving over 2000 replacements and the few failures all involved org and texi files, despite the fact that the bulk of the occurrences were in el files (none of which failed).

M-x wgrep-save-all-buffers did not make a difference.

Pablo Stafforini · Answer 20 · Wed May 22 2024 05:14:55 GMT+0800 (China Standard Time)

I traced back the issue to wgrep-apply-change:

(defun wgrep-apply-change (marker old new)
  "The changes in the *grep* buffer are applied to the file.
NEW may be nil this means deleting whole line."
  (let ((coding buffer-file-coding-system))
    (goto-char marker)
    ;; check BOM
    (when (and (= (point-min-marker) marker)
               coding
               (coding-system-get coding :bom))
      (setq old (wgrep-string-replace-bom old coding))
      (when new
        (setq new (wgrep-string-replace-bom new coding))))
    ;; Check buffer line was modified after execute grep.
    (unless (string= old
		     (buffer-substring-no-properties
		      (line-beginning-position) (line-end-position)))
      (signal 'wgrep-error (list "Buffer was changed after grep.")))
    (cond
     (new
      (wgrep-replace-to-new-line new))
     (t
      ;; new nil means flush whole line.
      (wgrep-flush-whole-line)
))))

The check (unless (string= old ... is the source of the error. For some reason, sometimes the value of old, which is the text shown in the overlay of the Embark buffer, does not match the return value of (buffer-substring-no-properties (line-beginning-position) (line-end-position)).

Here is a concrete, reproducible example:

Visit the file etica-de-la-poblacion.md, attached at the end of this message.
M-x consult-ripgrep RET description:.
embark-act on the first (and only) candidate, then embark-export in the *Embark Actions* menu.
wgrep-change-to-wgrep-mode.
M-x isearch-forward RET description: RET.
M-% (insert-query-repalce) followed by the replacement text, e.g. "description:", followed by SPC to confirm the replacement.
Do not apply the changes yet. Instead, open wgrep.el in the directory where the wgrep package is installed, and move point to the definition of wgrep-apply-change.
Instrument the function with C-u C-M-x (i.e. eval-defun with prefix argument).
Now go back to the Embark buffer and apply the changes with C-c C-c.
Point should jump to the beginning of wgrep-apply-change. Hit SPC until you reach the unless form.
Keep pressing SPC until the value of old is printed in the echo area. This value should be "descripcion: \"La ética de la población aborda cuestiones como el peso de las nuevas vidas en relación con el de las ya existentes, y el modo de equilibrar la cantidad y la calidad de vida (cuando se comparan poblaciones de distinto tamaño). En este capítulo se analizan cinco grandes enfoques de la é".
Keep pressing SPC until the value of (buffer-substring-no-properties (line-beginning-position) (line-end-position)) is printed in the echo area. This value should be "descripcion: \"La ética de la población aborda cuestiones como el peso de las nuevas vidas en relación con el de las ya existentes, y el modo de equilibrar la cantidad y la calidad de vida (cuando se comparan poblaciones de distinto tamaño). En este capítulo se analizan cinco grandes enfoques de la ética de la población: la perspectiva total, la perspectiva promedio, las teorías del valor variable, las teorías del nivel crítico (y del rango crítico) y las perspectivas centradas en las personas afectadas.\""

The two values should be equal, but they are not. This is the source of the error. Not sure why this is happening—perhaps someone with better Elisp skills than I have can figure it out?
