How did you configure this with org roam?

I've been unable to get the roam dailies into my org-agenda-files.

It seems like this mode only looks at the top level of the org-directory. Did you put all your roam files there?

Or am i misunderstanding some thing?

On my end, I haven't configured this with org-roam, as stated in the last part of the README, but there's no reason for it not to work with org-roam. I use a file layout that closely follows the PARA method (https://fortelabs.com/blog/para/). I actually have two separated bases : one for knowledge (roam), one for tasks and journaling (outside org-roam). My base for knowledge is under ~/resources, the one for journaling is under ~/spheres/life/journal. My org-directory is thus ~/, this is not optimal for file searches, but I get along with it for now.

The key to proper configuration is to know what criteria on a note you want to make it tracked by the org-agenda-files variable. As stated in the README, *you should redefine the* =org-agenda-files-track-predicate= *to align with your desired* =org-agenda-files=. How do you know if it does? 1) take an org-file you want to record, add a source block #+begin_src elisp (defun org-agenda-files-track-predicate () "Check if the file should be added to the variable `org-agenda-files'." (org-element-map (org-element-parse-buffer 'headline) 'headline ;; This is the predicate matching if a headline makes an org-agenda-file. (lambda (h) (eq (org-element-property :todo-type h) 'todo)) nil 'first-match)) (org-agenda-files-track-predicate) #+end_src With your cursor on the org-block, you can run `org-babel-execute-src-block`, the boolean result will tell you if the file is considered to be recorded or not. If you want to record a file while receving a nil result, you have to adjust the predicate yourself, feel free to share your layout and result if you do. The logic for org-ql is different, let me know if that was your choice.

Yes, my org-roam files are under my org-directory. I suppose we can make this "directory to search in" a variable with a default to org-directory or something like this if this isn't your case.

I converted the issue in a discussion because it's more adapted.
