Can't get the plugin to create a file at all

[edward-peters]

I've tried for some time to get this working, but whatever I do (have read all the docs etc) when I click the Add button on the 'Create from Template' modal no file is created, and there is no error message. Would you have any advice on what I should check to diagnose this problem? Thanks!

Sorry to hear this is being difficult! Can you look at the javascript console and let me know what happens?

• View->Show Developer Tools -> select "Console"
• Try creating the file again and see if new messages pop up at the bottom

Would you be able to share your template?

@edward-peters try the new version 1.10.0

I think it will work :)

@mo-seph @FelipeRearden Sincere apologies for slow reply, and thank you for generously trying to help me. I have tried again and I think my problem is not a bug but my own failure to understand exactly how to set up the config. Will work more on really understanding all the documentation. thanks again.

@edward-peters Make sure that the file isn't being created, but not opened in the editor. There's an outstanding but (recently fixed) that can cause this and lead to confusion.

I must be missing something as I still cannot get this to create a note. I've studied the documentation but really can't figure out what I am doing wrong.

My template is:

---
template-filename: "{{title}}"
template-output: 80-89 TOPICS/82 Quotes/82.01 Quotes single
template-input: title, body
---
# {{title}}

{{body}}

When I run the command, the popup works fine, I input the title and the body, but nothing is created. The console says: Uncaught (in promise) TypeError: Invalid template! Template should be a "string" but "undefined" was given as the first argument for mustache#render(template, view, partials)

Any help would be much appreciated
