[BUG] Failed to open file (filename). Cant scroll to line

TonyAtlas opened this issue · 7 comments

When I start looking for something in a search, it gives me the results correctly.

When I click on one of the results, the note opens, but the place I am looking for where the word is located is not listed.

It gives me an error:

Failed to open file "folder/filename.md"
Cant scroll to line (line number)

This problem was also in previous versions of the plugin.

OS: Windows 10
Obsidian version 1.3.5

Hello, @TonyAtlas,

Thank you for the input! Which file are you trying to open? Is it a regular markdown file? Or is it some special view like Canvas or Kanban?

Thank you for the helpful plugin!
This happens when I open a regular markdown file.

We need to triangulate the problem:

  • Does this happen for a specific file? If so, can you try removing parts of the file and using the plugin to see which part specifically causes this? It may be that you have front-matter or an embed or some custom view in there.
  • Does this happen every time?
  • Can you share a version of the file so that I can reproduce the issue?

I relied on Obsidian's API there, so if we locate the problem, we can create an issue to the Obsidian team.

This happens with any markdown file that has the simplest YAML or no YAML at all. I have tried doing different queries for different notes.

Yes, it always happens. No exceptions. Everything comes up correctly in the search box. But when I want to click on a specific part in the search query to be taken to the right place in the note, this error comes up.

I created an empty file without YAML and wrote one word there. When I tried to open this note with that word in the search, the same error occurred.

Maybe there is a conflict with some plugin. Or do you have any suggestions what else it could be?

If this is a conflict with some other plugin, it's easy enough to know: turn off all other plugins, reload Obsidian and try the behavior that doesn't work. If it helps, turn on plugins one by one and see which one causes it.

This is getting interesting... Let's gather more info:

  • What OS do you have?
  • What version of Obsidian are you using?
  • What version of the plugin are you using?

As I wrote above in the first post

OS: Windows 10
Obsidian version 1.3.5

And your plugin version is 0.2.0
But the same error was also with the previous two versions.

I will check the work with disabled plugins and will share the results with you immediately.

I completely reinstalled Obsidian with all plugins and the problem disappeared. This problem can be closed.

Thank you for your attention and for the plugin.
