Notes disappear from the project plugin

What happened?

When i open the project plugin the list of notes are empty. Sometimes the reappear if I create a new note from the plugin but the all disappear again when i switch project. I have tried turning off all my community plugins but it doesnt make a difference. I have the latest version of both Obsidian and the Project plugin. I use Obsidian Sync. When i reinstall the plugin it works for a while and then stops working again.

I ran into a similar issue when I was setting things up. What worked for me—though I'm not exactly sure which step did the trick—was uninstalling everything and then reinstalling it. I also made sure to avoid using any weird characters like hyphens or parentheses in the folder names for the projects. I also created a note in each folder I planned to turn into a project folder before building the project on top of them. After doing all that, it seemed to work. Fingers crossed!

Hi, this is probably due to a missing target folder. Folder you want to store your notes is expected to be created prior to adding notes in Projects. #663

Hello, I might have worded it wrong, but this started happening some time after I started using the plugin with existing folders with notes in them. As I wrote in my original post, it works for a while if I reinstall the plugin and set my projects up in the same folders.

Sounds like a syncing problem. Have you got some local-only vault to test if Projects plugin works well there?

Or, could you access the console by pressing Ctrl + Shift + i when you see the blank project view?

An update. It was just me beeing an idiot without knowing it. All my project live in subfolders to the folder "Work", but i changed it from "work" to "Work" a while ago and that breaks the link becouse of case sensitivity. What is instresting thou is that it sometimes worked dispite it beeing case sensitiv when i created a new note. That might be something to look into.

Okay, will give a quick troubleshooting on this. Thanks for sharing the detail!
