Hi there, I’m using Doom-emacs latest, and i’m trying to migration from org-roam V1 to V2. I run the following scripts, i think with success : - [Allow to always use id links instead of file links · Issue #1091 · org-roam/org-roam · GitHub](https://github.com/org-roam/org-roam/issues/1091#issuecomment-703531409) - [Org-roam V2 / org-id ID link resolution problem - #4 by nobiot](https://org-roam.discourse.group/t/org-roam-v2-org-id-id-link-resolution-problem/1491/4) My doom config : **Package.el** ```auto :recipe (:host github :repo "org-roam/org-roam" :branch "v2")) (unpin! org-mode) (unpin! org-roam) ``` **Config.el** ```auto (use-package! org-roam :after org :commands (org-roam-buffer org-roam-setup org-roam-capture org-roam-node-find) :config (setq org-roam-mode-sections (list #'org-roam-backlinks-insert-section #'org-roam-reflinks-insert-section #'org-roam-unlinked-references-insert-section)) (setq org-roam-directory (file-truename "~/Notes/2ndBrain/") org-roam-db-location (file-truename "~/Notes/org-roam.db") org-roam-link-title-format "%sº" org-roam-prefer-id-links t org-roam-index-file "20200626221151-index_para.org") (org-roam-setup)) ``` I have : - properties ID at heading of each org file - no error - Links are written like this : [[file:20200626190119-literate\_programming\_lp.org][Litterate Programming]] Exemple 😭 ![Capture d’écran du 2021-07-03 16-27-25](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/free1/uploads/orgroam/original/1X/a261a7d6537bccdc09fbcd8d11bc49173fdf7e75.png) So, as you see, my `org-roam-buffer` contain only the current node, and nothing else … Any idea why ? ---

Thanks @nobiot but all my links are v1 like that, is there any script to replace automaticaly old link with new link format ? I suppose lot of people are in the same case … ---

Look at Jethro’s script. Not at PC now; see the Hitchhiker’s Rough Guide for a link. There should be a couple of threads both in Discourse and Slack. ---

Hum, i already run a migration script, but probably not the good one (see my first post), so i need to go back to v1 to migrate my file, then move again to v2 to run other part of the script. I will try that … ---

> [@reyman](#): > > Links are written like this : [[file:20200626190119-literate\_programming\_lp.org][Litterate Programming]] After you run the migration script and still has links like you reported in your first post, then the migration script didn’t work for that particular file; it’s a little hard to believe it worked for none of your files. You don’t need to go back to to v1 Org-roam. The problem is your notes and not Org-roam. Going back to v1 does not change anything for your note files. I would try to see what part your notes causes the migration script to fail. ---

By the way, I don’t see “migration script” in these two bullet points…?? I could be wrong; It’s not easy to see for me.

Yeah you right, i probably misunderstand the [Hitchhiker's Rough Guide to Org roam V2 · org-roam/org-roam Wiki · GitHub](https://github.com/org-roam/org-roam/wiki/Hitchhiker's-Rough-Guide-to-Org-roam-V2#following-org-id-links-in-migrated-notes), thinking this snippet of code updating the actual link to id. I need to move to org-roam v1 to rerun the script because some part of the script of @jethro use a function only available in V1 … (step 1) Edit 1 : - when you are in V1, run the script given by @rberaldo[Migration script · GitHub](https://gist.github.com/jethrokuan/02f41028fb4a6f81787dc420fb99b6e4/) - update to roam V2 in doom - rerun the same script to update the file link. Ps : for doom people, if you had problems to run `doom sync -u` after changing to v2 in packages.el, run `rm -rf ~/.emacs.d/.local/straight`
