All plugin settings restore to default when disabling restricted mode #101

Closed greetclammy closed 1 week ago

Description

When I enable then disable restriced mode in Obsidian settings, all Novel word count's settings restore to default. Having opened the plugin's data.json after performing each action, I have observed that the setting reset happens precisely at the moment I turn the restricted mode OFF.

This affects Novel word count only, other community plugins are unaffected.

I have relaunched Obsidian and reinstalled the plugin but this didn't change anything.

Device

I'm only able to reproduce this on macOS 11.7.10 Big Sur:

SYSTEM INFO:
    Obsidian version: v1.7.5
    Installer version: v1.7.5
    Operating system: Darwin Kernel Version 20.6.0: Thu Jul  6 22:12:47 PDT 2023; root:xnu-7195.141.49.702.12~1/RELEASE_X86_64 20.6.0

        1: Novel word count v3.12.2

RECOMMENDATIONS:
    Community plugins: for bugs, please first try updating all your plugins to latest. If still not fixed, please try to make the issue happen in the Sandbox Vault or disable community plugins.

The theme is default.

It's super weird because I can't reproduce this in the sandbox vault or in the iOS app (1.7.5 also).

Interesting...I can't guess why this would be happening. It seems like a fairly rare use case, but I'll leave the bug open in case you or someone else want to investigate before I get around to it.

If by a rare use case you're specifically referring to turning the restricted mode on then off, it's quite useful for when you have a bunch of plugins in use and something is broken, to isolate the issue--to see whether it's caused by a plugin or not. Also, if one wants to submit a bug report to the official forum, they must turn the restricted mode ON.

I can't reproduce this on my vault. It may be caused by whatever plugin or system you're using for cloud sync.

How strange. This is still an issue in Obsidian 1.7.6. I use iCloud for syncing.
