template action not working? #30

Closed pdxrlk closed 3 years ago

pdxrlk commented 3 years ago

Hi - thanks for the plugin! Love it.

I am trying to use the world's simplest "append template" action but am getting the message "Couldn't find the specified template". Yes, I have the templates plugin installed and directory configured (I'm using templates in other ways, successfully).

Am I missing something? This is using 0.3.8

name ClickMe  
type append template  
action templatetest

in this example, templatetest file (actually templatetest.md) exists and is in the template folder.

That looks correct to me. Some questions:

are you using the core templates plugin or the templater community plugin
is the templates folder in a subfolder? Or is the template in a subfolder inside the templates folder?
what is the contents of the template?
any errors in the dev console?
does prepend template or note() template work?
version of obsidian and what OS?

I'll dig in and try to reproduce. Thanks for reporting!

I restarted Obsidian to check on your questions, re-entered the template name, and now it works fine. Somewhere today I had updated plugins, so I can only guess it was either an incompatibility or just user error. Sorry and thanks again.
