That warning says that you should not call `org-element-at-point' (Org parser) in non-Org buffers. That may lead to unpredictable results. Something in your Emacs is doing that. You may find out what by doing something like M-x debug-on-entry RET org-element-at-point > Commenting out those lines the error message has gone.

It is a function defined in Org mode. -- Ihor Radchenko // yantar92, Org mode contributor, Learn more about Org mode at <https://orgmode.org/>.
