Re: OrgMode Agenda empty if one of files is missing from the org-agenda-files

[Ali M.]

You are right

I tried again, and this time, i checked the echo/mini buffer area, and it had the options you mentioned above 
my bad 

My agenda windows open on the side, not the bottom (not sure why), so i guess this why i didnt notice the warning in the echo area before 
also a bit unfortunate that a is for abort because i might have kept pressing a when i first got a blank windows (also a being the first option for agenda, and the thing you will most likely try as a new user) 

Anyway, thanks

This is not what I am seeing on my side.
For me, agenda displays a message:

Non-existent agenda file /tmp/two/two.org.  [R]emove from list or [A]bort?

If I press "r", the agenda is displayed with the existing file.
If I press "a", agenda generation is aborted.

I suspect that you accidentally pressed "a" extra time, which happened
to trigger "[A]bort".
