Hey, I'm running into the same issue. Any insights? I've seen the bug-reports, but they also don't seem updated.

And yes, also using your solution for a while now and I'm super happy with it! Thank you ❤️

@truemped if you are asking about unregistered modifications, then I haven't worked on it yet. Will report here once I figure that out.

Hi ! Thanks for this amazing piece of code.
I had an issue because all my files in my org-roam-directory were not org-files. I fixed it by changing the function vulpea-buffer-p this way :

(defun vulpea-buffer-p ()
    "Return non-nil if the currently visited buffer is a note."
    (and buffer-file-name
         (eq (buffer-local-value 'major-mode (current-buffer)) 'org-mode)
         (string-prefix-p
          (expand-file-name (file-name-as-directory org-roam-directory))
          (file-name-directory buffer-file-name))))

I don't know if it's standard and should be taken in consideration, your call ;)

@Whil-

Hi Whil,

I guess you wanna grab your agenda file just like this.

  (defun +org-notes-agenda-p ()
    "Return non-nil if current buffer has any todo entry.

  TODO entries marked as done are ignored, meaning the this
  function returns nil if current buffer contains only completed
  tasks."
    (org-element-map
        (org-element-parse-buffer 'headline)
        'headline
      (lambda (h)
        (let
            ((todo-type (org-element-property :todo-type h))
             (scheduled (org-element-property :scheduled h))
             (deadline (org-element-property :deadline h)))
          (or (eq todo-type 'todo)
              (and (not (eq todo-type 'done))
                   (or scheduled deadline)))))
      nil 'first-match))

Youre correct this code needs to be fixed especially in emacs > 29. It didn't bork in earlier versions of emacs but this will cause an
rx--translate-bounded-repetition: rx ‘**’ range error since this hooks onto find-file indirectly. I also independently found that the root problem was this function.

I went for this approach

 (defun vulpea-buffer-p ()
  "Return non-nil if the currently visited buffer is a note."
  (and buffer-file-name
       (eq major-mode 'org-mode) ; Check if it's an org file
       (string-prefix-p
        (expand-file-name (file-name-as-directory org-roam-directory))
        (file-name-directory buffer-file-name))))

Please fix it! programs such as helm-bibtex have a very hard time opening pdf files inside org-roam-directory for this,
