When I open the tag routes view, nothing shows.

[Saauan]

Hello, I just installed the plugin to fool around with it. But when I open the tag routes view, only a blank page is shown. I tried to follow the installation instructions and videos carefully, but I don't understand what I'm doing wrong ? I'm using Obsidian on Linux btw.

Have you clicked the ribbon button on the left to start the view? If you have done so, maybe you can press ctrl-shift-I(or maybe other key under linux? ) to show the debug panel , is there any error messages show there?

I ran into this too on Windows (I can also test on my macOS instance of Obsidian if it helps). In the console output, I see this:

This seems to be an issue for tags in note frontmatter: I wrote a temporary version: added some debug information and it would can resolve the issue. Please try this version and provide the debug information if have any in the debug panel.

• Unzip to main.js and put it into your vault_directory/.obsidian/plugins/tags-routes, override the original one

Awesome, thank you for looking into this. I'll try this out and let you know if I'm able to resolve the issue this way.

Got a chance to test this morning and used your file (dropped in the existing plugin) and reloaded Obsidian and it looks like that did the trick. Snagged the debug logs too, so we could add it here:

Based on some of the file paths, it may be having issues with my textgenerator templates for ollama and other GenAI stuff Grabbed the frontmatter from one of them just in case that helps.

Thank you for the detailed information! it is helpful. From it, we can figure out that it's an issue with parsing the tags—whether they are written in multiple lines or a single line. This fix will be added in the next release.

That's great to hear. Got a chance to test it a bit more on my Vault that had a ton of notes and the visualizations look great (especially love the grouping of broken links or Excalidraw links). Keep up the great work. :)
