Followed all the steps. Running convert.rb fails

Could you print out the contents of input and input/roam? If I were to guess, it seems like the roam folder is missing? Perhaps you've copied the contents of the roam folder directly into input/?

I'm going to close this issue for now. If anyone else runs into this issue, please let me know and I will reopen it.

I ran into the same issue, and in my case the problem was this line

orgroam_to_obsidian/convert.rb

Line 24 in 7262f23

@input_file ||= "input/roam/#{@row.file.partition('roam/').last}"

Note that here the code doesn't only expect the files to be under input/roam folder, but also expects the original files to be under a roam subfolder somewhere. In my case, my files where under a differently named folder, so changing that in the code fixed the issue. Taking original org-roam folder path as an argument and using that instead of expecting the name to be roam would fix the issue.

Thank you @hakanserce! Would you be willing to prepare a PR for this?
