ORG Publish index creation reproduction

Managed to separate a good and a bad situation

File structure

The publishable project lives in long/path/to/something/index.org

There’s a symlink called shortcut which links to long/path/to

Good scenario

1. Open the project as long/path/to/something/index.org.
2. Evaluate the code block.
3. Publish the project with C-c C-e P x TAB RET
4. Notice that theindex.inc is populated.

Bad scenario

1. Open the project as shortcut/something/index.org.
2. Evaluate the code block.
3. Publish the project with C-c C-e P x TAB RET
4. Notice that theindex.inc is not populated.

Caveat

Make sure emacs doesn’t resolve the symlink beforehand. You can check by validating the path in the code block result.
