Errors When Creating Nodes: Trying to Delete Buffer that is in use

[cat-phish]

I am running into errors when trying to create a node. For one thing it's not appearing to generate an ID at all. This is what's created in the scratch buffer with nf

:PROPERTIES:
:ID: 
:ROAM_ORIGIN: 
:END:
#+TITLE: test

test test

And then it seems according to your video it's supposed to switch to that buffer on save. But on save it only writes the tmp file, and if I try to quit or delete the windows it gives me an error for trying to delete a buffer in use.

Heres from trying to :q out of the scratch buffer

and here is from trying to delete the window. When I try to delete the window I get a blank confirmation box through Noice that seems to have the options Y or N and when select Y this happens:

I've tried removing all of my UI plugins but I think there's something else going on.

I should note that it does actually write the files. But still without the ID's.

[chipsenkbeil]

What happens if you put a number in for the ID before saving? It can be anything.

Feels like nvim-orgmode id generation isn't working. What version of orgmode and roam are you using?

[cat-phish]

Hmm, I get this when I try to add a random number into the scratch buffer and then save and delete the window.

I'm using the latest releases from both orgmode and roam.

[chipsenkbeil]

@kristijanhusak it looks like issues with temporary capture buffers are still floating around. I'm assuming also connected to nvim-orgmode/orgmode#758

@cat-phish the ml_get: Invalid lnum: 1 is actually a core neovim issue and should be reported upstream. What we can do from nvim-orgmode and org-roam.nvim is try to avoid whatever is causing it. Can you disable nvim-notify and try again?

[kristijanhusak]

@chipsenkbeil is there a way to reproduce it somehow? The linked issue is for the edit-special buffer which is different from capture window.

[chipsenkbeil]

@kristijanhusak I don't know how. I haven't encountered an issue like this since #50, and even then couldn't reproduce it myself.

Definitely feels like there's some plugin that's causing this to happen. We'd need @cat-phish full config, neovim version, and operating system to have a chance to track this down.

[chipsenkbeil]

@kristijanhusak @cat-phish closing this issue out both due to inactivity and because it seems to be something upstream in the orgmode plugin and other plugins. Maybe a race condition on window access? However, this also surfaces (again) the E315: ml_get: Invalid lnum: 1 error, which is something that should be reported to neovim itself.
