Does the same thing happen withorg-roam-graph

I got an email from this issue but the comment is not appearing here.

If the org-roam-graph is also not working, the problem is probably something to do with your org-protocol setup.

I assumed, but now realize I may be wrong, that you're using wsl (Windows Subsystem for Linux). If not, I don't know how to help. Otherwise, just keep reading.

If you followed the instruction here, you can fix this with the following.

• In linux, create a script file org-protocol-wsl.sh containing:

#!/bin/bash

# your org roam path (be careful to not add the trailing slash)
orgroampath="~/org/zettelkasten"
orgroamdir=`basename ${orgroampath}`

# killing previous requests, otherwise they proliferate
killall emacsclient

# get the actual path that emacsclient wants. $1 will contain the bad path.
file=`echo $1 | sed -n "s/.*${orgroamdir}%2F\(.*$\)/\1/p"`
fullpath="${orgroampath}/${file}"

# for debug purposes
echo "raw : $1"
echo "path: $fullpath"

# uncomment second line and comment first line if you need to debug something.
nohup emacsclient $fullpath &
#emacsclient $fullpath

• Change orgroampath to the value of org-roam-directory you set in emacs. Be careful to not add the trailing slash.

• Open regedit on windows, find the key at HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\org-protocol\shell\open\command. Change its value to cmd /c start /min wsl ~/path/to/the/script/.org-protocol-wsl.sh %1. Replace the path (the path is a linux path to your script).

  • This is assuming you followed the link at the top and already had this key filled with C:\Windows\System32\wsl.exe emacsclient "%1"

You're done ! That should work. If it doesn't work, make sure the server is running (M-x start-server).

It isn't that smooth on my configuration honestly. I'm not sure if it's because of my configuration or if it's just wsl. At least it works, but hopefully it will fixed in a more proper way.
