I have the same problem. I cannot use it any more :(

I had the same issue -- check your index.json in .atom/evnd/ for errors. Mine had a formatting issue, so the note index wasn't ever loaded properly, and so no more could be saved to it either. Not sure the source of this issue though.

@aspin Thanks a lot for that info!

@abruneau @mnarayan I'm sorry to hear that you are having trouble with the package... I think the problem is probably caused by formatting problems in index.json as @aspin mentioned. But that file typically contains many personal info so I cannot offer to check it for you. Could you possibly check it with some kind of JSON validator? Or maybe check for special characters and such. Thanks!

Hi @cs150bf,

I came across the same issue and probably found root cause and solution.

Steps to reproduce

1. Install your package
2. Read the doc with help ( ;) )
3. Create folder with config and symlink it to ~/.atom/evnd
4. Try to create note -> ERROR

When I installed plugin before creating folder with ENVD storage, Atom asked me to create directory ~/.atom/evnd. Then when I created ENVD storage and tried to symlink it, it didn't work and I didn't notice it. There were index json in ~/.atom/evnd with content 'null'.

When I removed the directory ~/.atom/evnd and symlinked it to 'path/with/my/proper/index/json/git/repo' it worked as a charm!

I can see that more people have the same problem (last 3 issues). Maybe you can add the preparation part of documentation to the plugin description?

By the way, the plugin looks very promising! I haven't chance to use it a lot so far, but it seems that I will. It is exactly what I was looking for, it has many good features and looks nice! Great job! Thank you!

[abruneau]

Thank you, I've been able to to solve it by reseting index.json

@aspin Thanks @trzeciakp Thanks "When I removed the directory ~/.atom/evnd and symlinked it to 'path/with/my/proper/index/json/git/repo' it worked as a charm!" @abruneau Thanks

Used the above guidance, I deleted the contents of index.json, replaced with {}. Clean Up. And it does indeed work like a charm!!!

Thank you all,

The path to my storage is /Users/moses/OneDrive/Ever_Notedown/, I did not symlink, added said path to Settings,

@cs150bf Again, thank you for the great work,
