Unable to resolve link; aborting

[buhtz]

Hello I am getting the message Unable to resolve link; aborting: "roam:git" when using org-hugo-export-wim-to-md. See the full debug output at the end.

In the context of org-roam especially when used for Zettelkasten it is usual to have dead links. A dead link is not an error just an information because it will remind you that there is something to do ("thinking further").

From ox-publish I know the variable (setq org-export-with-broken-links t). It seems to me that this is not relevant for ox-hugo, correct?
I did M-x customize-group RET ox-hugo but couldn't see an option like that there.

Can ox-hugo export such links? It could just replace them with the string ERRORor whatever it wants. But it shouldn't stop the export process.

I know the variable (setq org-export-with-broken-links t). It seems to me that this is not relevant for ox-hugo, correct?

Have you tried setting it to t?

From the error backtrace, that error is thrown by org-export-resolve-fuzzy-link, not ox-hugo. That function is part of the core ox.el.

One way to check is to try to export the same to ox-html; I think you will see the same error there too.

I believe there are quite a few org-roam users using ox-hugo. Try asking on org-roam forum (or emacs subreddit) on how they deal with the roam: links.

Yes I did and it is set (checked via C-h v).

Ok, do you see that error when you export using ox-md or ox-html?

Can you also share a minimal Org file here that can reproduce this error on an export?

@Codeberg-AsGithubAlternative-buhtz I have converted this to a new issue. You can track the issue's progress on #587.

[kaushalmodi]

This is now fixed as long as #+options: broken-links:t keyword is used or org-export-with-broken-links is set to t . Ref #587.
