Failed fetch with 1.9.0+

[FilSalustri]

I've got an up-to-date obsidian installation, and I'm currently running 1.9.1 of the omnivore plugin.

I keep getting "Failed to fetch articles" both on startup, and if I do a fetch manually. Nothing else in my installation has changed. The error started appearing with 1.9.0.

Anyone else experiencing this?

Followup: I found that uninstalling the Omnivore plugin, removing the Omnivore folder from my vault, then reinstalling the plugin with a new API key seems to have overcome the problem.

There are, however, problems remaining, which I notice in the Obsidian Console:

1. there appear to be conflicts between templater and the Omnivore plugin;
2. there are problems with article titles that include colons (and maybe other "special" characters); and
3. various other apparent issues that I do not understand cuz I'm not up on the programming skills needed to parse the console messages.

I could post my console output here. Would that help?

I'm experiencing this as well. Already uploaded a console log at #185. It started with version 1.9.1 and an update to 1.9.2 had no effect.

The problem still exists after updating to 1.9.3.

@FilSalustri @ChrisLAS @MaryseBucking Synchronization has been successful, and the reason for the lack of synchronization seems to be the inconsistency between the server's records and the client's records.

[FilSalustri]

So, @StrollStars I guess you're suggesting the workaround I stumbled across? IE: delete my local Omnivore folder completely from my vault, then do a fresh fetch from the start?

[StrollStars]

@FilSalustri No, my synchronization rule is to sync the read articles. Last night, after syncing with the Omnivore client (not obsidian-omnivore), I found that the articles that were not synced became unread, marked as read, and all got synchronized without the need to make changes to the local Omnivore vault.

[FilSalustri]

I'm confused by "syncing with Omnivore client" vs "syncing with obsidian-omnivore". Could you point at a doc page or something that can clarify that distinction?

[StrollStars]

@FilSalustri We usually read through https://omnivore.app/ or the Omnivore app on our mobile phones. The progress is synchronized to the Omnivore official server. This is the syncing with Omnivore client. When we use obsidian-omnivore, it is obsidian-omnivore that downloads data from the Omnivore server to the Obsidian client, in other words, syncing from the Omnivore server to the Obsidian client. This is syncing with obsidian-omnivore. Simply put, our reading data is saved in the Omnivore client, synced to the Omnivore server from the client, and then synced from the Omnivore server to Obsidian (via obsidian-omnivore). That's roughly the process. From my perspective, it seems that the sync failure this time is due to an issue with the Omnivore server.

[FilSalustri]

Ah, that explains my confusion. I haven't installed the OM client. I just use the web version to read. I use the OM extension for Chrome, and the app on Android, to save stuff. I only read articles on my Macs, using the web app.

In any case, when I deleted the Omnivore folder in my Obsidian vault, reinstalled the Obsidian-omnivore plugin, then did a whole new fetch, that seemed to fix it. Since then, the Obsidian plugin seems to be operating as expected.

[StrollStars]

@FilSalustri Congratulations, you have also resolved this issue.

[MaryseBucking]

@StrollStars Unfortunately for me this wasn't the solution. I already did this last week with no results. For me it is because of the content of the article that I included in the template. Also mentioned in issue #193. If I delete this part from my template, it syncs again.

[FilSalustri]

FWIW, I include the content too, but that's the only thing I've added to the template. I do not have any frontmatter at all. Seems like my problem was completely unrelated to yours.

Actually one other thing I remember doing was resetting the template in the plugin to the default and then adding the {{{ content }}} back in. I remember thinking that the new default template was very different from the old one - even though I didn't change it myself.

Anyways, I hope the problem gets resolved for you soon.

[StrollStars]

@FilSalustri Yes, it seems my issue is different from yours. Besides syncing and refreshing, I only marked as read. 'Marked as read' is my synchronization condition. Apart from that, no other operations were performed. @MaryseBucking It seems your problem is more similar to @FilSalustri 's. I suggest you try @FilSalustri 's method. If it still doesn't work, you may need to wait for the developers to resolve it.

hey guys, sorry for the delay in reply and i'm just back from holiday.

obsidian plugin v1.9.4 is released to fix some syncing issue:

• add a config to the settings to disable sync on start
• update filter setting will update custom query accordingly and default to in:all

[sywhb]

another possible cause is invalid custom query, for example: label:\"some label\" needs to be changed to label:"some label" to make it work
