Spacemacs Org-Roam Wrong type argument: commandp, org-roam-find-file

[jacko01]

I’ve been happily using spacemacs with org-roam, loaded via the org layer

As a spacemacs user, I was looking for simple instructions with minimum configurations to have org-roam and org-roam-bibtex running. I didn’t find much information. I though writing down what I have so far might be helpful to others. Please feel free to give feedback and corrections to make these instructions better. …

V2 and spacemacs

After several attempts, I finally make org-roam (currently v2) in Spacemacs work by creating a private layer. First off, Spacemacs’ org layer includes the org-roam package, so we need to exclude it from org layer in dotspacemacs-configuration-layers: (org :packeges (not org-roam)) Then M-x configuration-layer/create-layer, and follow the instruction to name the layer, e.g. org-roam. This will create a layer folder with a file named “packages.el”. Delete the content in the packages.el, and pa…
