I had this same issue.

If anyone else has this issue, Obsidian developer Licat suggested to "Try deleting the dataview related entries in devtools > Application > Local Storage and IndexedDB".

Hmm we need to figure out a way to fix this before this goes live. We're already drowning in bug reports.

[AB1908]

@lishid sorry for the ping but any timelines on when 1.4 goes GA? Is this info usually posted anywhere so we don't have to bother you next time?

[lishid]

There is no timeline for going public. As a general rule of thumb, for major feature launches like this it has historically taken about a month for the build to be stable enough for public. I can't say for sure if it'll be the case for this one too though.

Also this doesn't seem like a new bug, and I've received numerous reports that DataView works just fine on 1.4. There are at least 3 other duplicates:

Thanks and I did see those earlier but couldn't repro them. Will try to repro on the new version and thanks for the check.

[lishid]

I feel like this isn't related to the new release, but most likely has to do with how dataview is storing data - Perhaps it's storing over a specific limit that causes the storage engine to fail. I think for an attempt to fix, one could automatically wipe all dataview related localstorage or indexeddb data when that error happens.

Not that I want to put more pressure on this issue, but just as an FYI.

According to this forum post the code to list backlinks fails when linking through the properties in version 1.4.5 of Obsidian with dataview v0.5.56. Once the link is in the regular note text thinks work as expected.

@Recte can you create a separate issue with repro instructions? Are you able to reliably reproduce in a clean vault/help vault?

No problem, here you go: https://github.com/blacksmithgu/obsidian-dataview/issues/2029 I afterwards noticed there is a likewise issue, with a slightly older version, here: https://github.com/blacksmithgu/obsidian-dataview/issues/2019

To summarize, so far these are the duplicates.

• This issue
• https://github.com/blacksmithgu/obsidian-dataview/issues/1282
• https://github.com/blacksmithgu/obsidian-dataview/issues/1321
• https://github.com/blacksmithgu/obsidian-dataview/issues/1683
• https://github.com/blacksmithgu/obsidian-dataview/issues/2114

My suggestion would be to close the duplicates, and summarize this in a new issue. If this would be appreciated I could do this. In that case I would need some assistance in closing the other issues when it's done. My experience of this issue is that the issue will get resolved after a restart of the computer, and there is at least one other person who said the same. What do you think @AB1908

[AB1908]

Sure feel free to go ahead and I will do the cleanup.

@AB1908 The new issue is mentioned just above this comment.
