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

```
    (org :variables
      org-enable-roam-support t)

```

But the last package update broke something. When I type

```
SPC m r

```

I see the usual org-roam menu but then the shortcuts don’t work. For example

```
SPC m r f

```

should call org-roam-find-file but instead I get the error

```
Wrong type argument: commandp, org-roam-find-file
```

`org-roam-find-file` is no longer available in the current version V2 of Org-roam.

To fix the org layer of Spacemacs, you would need to talk with its community, I think.

If you don’t need to work wih the org layer, there is a custom way; have a look at these two nice writeups on Spacemacs configuration for V2.

> I would like to write down step-by-step instructions for setting up org-roam v2 and org-roam-bibtex on fresh installed spacemacs. I am very new to org-roam and emcas in general. 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. …

> 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…
