Unable to create new notes

[MCSH]

Describe the bug I recently updated all my emacs packages and this started happening.

Whenever I open a citation that doesn't have an existing note and chose notes, I get an error saying (wrong-type-argument char-or-string-p nil). Here is the backtrace:

ORB configuration

1. How the package is loaded.

   (use-package org-roam-bibtex
   :ensure t
   :config
   (org-roam-bibtex-mode 1))

2. ORB options set to non-default values (e.g. orb-templates) Everything is set to default.

Environment (please complete the following information):

• ORB commit or MELPA package version: 20220213.1609
• Org Roam commit or MELPA package version: 20220528.1937
• Org Mode version 9.5.2
• Emacs framework [e.g. Doom, Spacemacs, Prelude, none] none
• Emacs version [e.g. 26.3, 27.1] 28.1-7
• OS: [e.g. Linux, macOS, Windows] Linux

I would appreciate any help in case this isn't related to org-roam-bibtex.

Hi,

I cannot reproduce this. Since it has started happening after an upgrade and you see a bunch of compiled functions in the backtrace, the cause may be corrupted byte-compiled files. Try reinstalling ORB, Org-roam, and Org. How exactly you do this depends on your Emacs package manager.

I can't believe I didn't try this, that actually worked, I only reinstalled orb as that's where the compiled functions were created and it worked. Thank you.

[myshevchuk]

It's great it worked! I haven't looked into ORB for a while and thought maybe there had been incompatible changes in Org-roam recently.
