Hello Dear People! I was happily in love with taskwiki and suddenly we started experiencing unexplainable (to my eyes) difficulties...

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
NameError: name 'Mappings' is not defined

and...

are the errors I've found, the former is much more common than the latter.

The result is that vimwiki links can't be followed. So vimwiki becomes largely broken. I can only restore the link functionality to vimwiki by deleting taskwiki altogether, which leaves me not just brokenhearted but also more inconvenienced and less productive.

I've tried cloning the repo again and using the head of the master branch. And I've tried checking out the 1.0.0 tag to use that state of code. But neither of those give me a usable vimwiki, and I still have to remove taskwiki to get the base functionality (minus tasks) back.

I'm getting that same error but now with a couple new lines at the end regarding BufEnter and cache:

Got something similar yesterday. My whole setup somehow refused to work [probably] after an update.

apt remove python3-tasklib; pip install tasklib

solved it for me on Debian testing. Hope it helps.

@vegsplore That is an unrelated issue: https://github.com/tools-life/taskwiki/commit/5032d0d74f2b63890784cd4e4392c21812952b05#commitcomment-42422040

(And I don't think it's a good idea to just pip install stuff globally. That will come to bite you later in unexpected ways. The only safe options are the distro package manager or virtualenv, the former being preferred.)

@vegsplore I suspected this might be the case... and your mention of it (thanks!) motivated my to dig into pip (which I'm not so familiar with) to see what was installed. Re-installing tasklib eliminated the error and returned some basic functionality around tasks but I'm still seeing issues with viewports and preset headers :/
