Bug - Ava does not create the semantic directory #36

Closed danrthompson closed 1 year ago

danrthompson commented 1 year ago

When trying to start the search API, it would silently fail. When I looked at the console, it was giving this error:

node:fs:1536 Uncaught (in promise) Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, stat '/Users/danthompson/Obsidian/Synced Vault/.obsidian/plugins/ava/semantic'

I figured that this error was due to it not automatically creating the right directory. I double checked that the issue wasn't due to an old install (I am always searching for obsidian AI plugins so I installed Ava back when it first hit the store). I uninstalled and reinstalled, but it did not help.

Then I manually created the directory semantic at ~/Obsidian/Synced Vault/.obsidian/plugins/ava and running start search API worked.

So I think you need to add a mkdir step, at least when the plugin is installed through the Community Plugin interface.

Thanks for noticing @danrthompson I think for development you need to git clone into "ava" and not "obsidian-ava", we should indeed document this

@danrthompson Now you don't need the local search api :) - works without

FYI, I didn't clone it from github at all, I installed the plugin from the Obsidian community plugin store.

So if it needs to be cloned into ava and not obsidian-ava, you might want to set it up to do that in the store installation process

Anyway, thanks so much for the work on this plugin. I also work in AI and was thinking about implementing some of this myself, but was thrilled to see that someone else is applying GPT to Obsidian. I think it could add an enormous amount of value :)
