[BUG] Plugin not picking up certain flashcards

[bgreenawald]

Describe the bug The plugin suddenly only picks up ~half of the flashcards in my Vault. As of a few days ago, I had nearly 500 flashcards, but when I loaded the flashcard review today, it only showed that I had around 250 flashcards. I can confirm that all the other flashcards are still in the Vault and found an example of a file with flashcards past their review date that weren't being picked up at all. I currently don't see any pattern between what it picks up and what it doesn't.

Versions (please complete the following information):

• OS: Windows 11, Android
• Obsidian version: 1.5.11
• Plugin version: 1.12.1
• If on desktop, Installer version: 1.4.13

Hi @bgreenawald

Thanks for letting us know.

Could you please post (as attachment, not copy/paste) a markdown file that contains flashcard(s) that don't appear in the review modal.

Also, please attach the plugin's settings file, located e.g. D:\Obsidian\.obsidian\plugins\obsidian-spaced-repetition\data.json

Cheers Ronny

Hi Ronny,

Thanks for the quick response. Attached is an example file that isn't showing up. Here is a picture of the current review screen:

I'm having the same issue all of a sudden. From about 50-60 flashcards in my vault to 2. Here are attachments. Thanks for your work on this plugin btw

Hi! Same problem here. Two days ago there used to be around 130 cards in the queue, now there are none.

data.json

Sorry, forgot to include the environment info. I'm on Win10 Obsidian 1.5.11 plugin version 1.12.1

I'm not sure what is meant by 'installer version'. If it's about Obsidian, the installer version is the same as the release version.

[ronzulu]

Thanks, I can reproduce the problem now, hopefully fixed tomorrow

[Scicily]

I'm having the same issue all of a sudden, too.

OS: macOS Sonoma 14.4

Obsidian version: 1.5.11

Plugin version: 1.12.1

[ronzulu]

Hi all

Beta release is now available.

There is a file called main.js in this zip file main_915A.zip

You will need to copy that to the obsidian plug-in folder, e.g. D:\Obsidian\Obsidian\.obsidian\plugins\obsidian-spaced-repetition

Then reload the plug-in, or restart obsidian.

Any feedback appreciated.

No change for me with the beta version. I use the "convert ==highlights== to clozes" function, and created 20 flashcards earlier today, but none of them are getting picked up even with the new version

I am also having the same issue, only one deck of my 7-8 decks are showing up with no change after trying your beta version.

Edition Windows 10 Home OS build 19045.4170

Obsidian version: 1.5.11

Plugin version: 1.12.1

Example note that doesn't show up: dividends vs share repurchases.md

Data: data.json

Thanks for the support!

Hi @Effeh

Your issue may appear the same as others on this topic, but actually is different.

There is a blank line at the very start of your file, i.e. line (1) in the following:

This means that the tags: Chinese is not recognized by Obsidian as frontmatter.

Simply remove that blank line, and it should work.

After deleting the blank line, Obsidian recognizes this as frontmatter and renders that section in a special manner

[ronzulu]

Hi @lukeh2313

There were significant code changes in plugin version 1.12 to support:

• Multiple Tags Within a Single File
• A Single Card Within Multiple Decks

It didn't occur to me that someone might place the topic tag on the line immediately following the last line of a question, and I didn't code for it.

For example, you have:

Why might a company prefer to repurchase shares over the issuance of a dividend?
?
1. Avoids double taxation, first at a corporate level (dividends are not tax deductible) then at individual income tax level when dividends are distributed.
2. Share repurchases inflate EPS by reducing number of shares outstanding which may increase company share price.
3. Share repurchases signal to the market that management believes its shares are undervalued, which might be seen as a good signal.
4. Once dividends are started, they are typically expected to continue. Stopping dividend payments is seen very poorly by the markets and are interpreted as a sign of lower future profits.
#wsp-red <!--SR:!2024-03-26,1,210-->

It should work if you move the topic tag #wsp-red to before the question, e.g.:

#wsp-red
Why might a company prefer to repurchase shares over the issuance of a dividend?
?
1. Avoids double taxation, first at a corporate level (dividends are not tax deductible) then at individual income tax level when dividends are distributed.
2. Share repurchases inflate EPS by reducing number of shares outstanding which may increase company share price.
3. Share repurchases signal to the market that management believes its shares are undervalued, which might be seen as a good signal.
4. Once dividends are started, they are typically expected to continue. Stopping dividend payments is seen very poorly by the markets and are interpreted as a sign of lower future profits.

Beta version fixed the issue for me. Thanks for the quick fix!

[Scicily]

Thx for your help. I'll try it latter. (mac OS, it's hard to find the file to me...)

Thanks Ronny, that is working now!

Thanks Ron. Sorry about the confusion. I'm not sure how that happened---I've been using the same template file for quite a while, and the problem only cropped up very recently. All fixed now regardless

I'm just coming here because all my cards doesn't show up even in 1.12.2.

Hi @huetruong thanks for posting the markdown file.

Your specific issue is being addressed under [BUG] Unable to recognize multi-line card that begins immediately after the frontmatter's closing line

@Scicily There might be multiple reasons why you are experiencing this. Please post a markdown file that exhibits the problem (attach, don't copy/paste)

Cheers Ronny

[huetruong]

@ronzulu Please don't strip away my special character I used to separate the paragraphs. The last time I used a space, " ", in a blank line, it was strip away with strip() to remove whitespace.

Hi @huetruong, is your comment related to this issue? If so, please give further explanation.

[Scicily]

Hello,

I am currently facing an issue where I cannot display the review cards correctly. Since I am using a Mac Sonoma version 14.4.1, I am not quite sure how to locate the MD file you mentioned. If possible, could you please instruct me on how to proceed? Thank you very much.

Sincerely Scicily

@ronzulu Please don't strip away my special character I used to separate the paragraphs. The last time I used a space, " ", in a blank line, it was strip away with strip() to remove whitespace.

A few months ago, a trim function was introduced which broke my flashcards. Currently, I am using a zero-width character to prevent the trim function from deleting my intentionally added blank lines, which make the flashcards easier to read. I am requesting that you take note of this issue to ensure that it does not occur again in the future. I have attached an example that illustrates the way I use the zero width character.

[ronzulu]

Hi @huetruong I would suggest you create a new discussion item, as this is not quite on topic.

I can put a comment in the code about this, please let us know what is the zero width character you are using.

longer term I think the solution will be something like: [FEAT] Support multiline questions with blank lines in both the card front and back

Cheers Ronny

Hi @Scicily

Sorry, I'm not a Mac person - don't know where Obsidian. As an idea, click on the "vault" icon. On a PC it looks like:

On the left hand side it shows the location on the vault in the file system, perhaps on your Mac it would give you a clue:

Also, when you say "cannot display the review cards correctly" is the card:

1. Missing, or
2. Present and does display, but displays incorrectly

If the card does display, but incorrectly, then please open a new issue, as this issue is for cards that have gone missing after the recent release.

Cheers Ronny

I would definitely love to have that in the long term. Here is what I am using below as a work around.

Hi all

Beta release is now available. I've tested with most (if not all) of the files posted above and seems ok.

There is a file called main.js and style.css in this zip file main_915C.zip

You will need to copy them to the obsidian plug-in folder, e.g. D:\Obsidian\.obsidian\plugins\obsidian-spaced-repetition

Then reload the plug-in, or restart obsidian.

Any feedback appreciated.

Ronny

[Scicily]

Thank you for your assistance. In the meantime, I will research the data storage locations in MacOS and then apply the information you provided. (I am a new user of MacOS, still figuring out the logic of using a Mac.) Thank you. Sincerely, Scicily
