Excalibrain doesn't work on my mac because of "TypeError: t.values is not a function"

Excalibrain doesn't work on my mac.

Excalidraw works normal, Excalibrain shows only start page. selected files on other panes or search will be recognized (Footer of Excalibrain drawing), but not showed. The drawing only shows "To get started":

The Console shows error:

Code for Line "3964":

Errors from startup

(1) The first error after Startup is ExcaliBrain URLParser: Invalid URL https://qisfsv.xxxxxx with "request failed"

• This is an Intranet URL here
• URL is sometimes reachable (if I am inside firm VPN) and sometimes not --> normal behaviour

(2) "Initialized Excalidraw Image Cache"

(3) "ExcaliBrain indexed 6036 URLs from 1765 unique hosts in 2325 of 3990 markdown files in 6.4 seconds"

(4) "Uncaught (in promise) TypeError: t.values is not a function"

Versions:

Obsidian Version 1.5.3 (Installer 1.4.13) ExcaliBrain 0.2.11 ExcaliDraw 2.0.13

can I ask you to replace your main.js with this one? main.zip

Download and unpack the zip Copy the main.js to Vault/.obsidian/plugins/excalibrain folder note .obsidian is a hidden folder.

restart Obsidian and share the results from the console.

Thank You for the file. I've replaced the file and this is the console output:

Let's do a second try. Here's a new main.js: main.zip

On the screenshot please open the toggles as shown:

Many Thanks. Here a long image of recursively opened Data on Console. I have also saved the output as a log file, but this file seems very messy to me.

Sometimes it works when I click on a file in ExcaliBrain or change the file outside; sometimes it does not work. In the footer of ExcaliBrain, however, the selected file is always displayed, even if the drawing does not change.

This is because you are using a form of properties on the page that I wasn't aware of and seems dataview for those properties works differently. Can you send me the markdown file that is causing the errors? Hopefully based on the detailed log you can figure out which file it might be.

I have spotted it out on a little Test-Vault.

Way to Error

I copied my files in step by step and then reduced them until I came to a single error. I have a LOT of entries in my weekly logs (weekly logs are my backbone) like the one shown in the screenshot, here as Code:

- #log :: angemeldet für XYZ ✅ 2023-10-23 [time:: 2023-12-18], [d::1h] 

ExcaliBrain always throws an error "TypeError: t.values is not a function" if the inline field consists of the letter d. I use d as an abbreviation for duration so that it types faster because I make many entries of this type. I've also tested it with other letters and they don't produce an error: it really seems to be the specific d.

I don't know what the reasons are for this one letter not working. Unfortunately, I happened to grab this one. :-) Since I have a lot of log entries with duration field d in my files, I was of course overwhelmed in ExcaliBrain and it took a while to extract the behavior.

(My) Possible Solution

If the d is otherwise occupied (?) or cannot be used, I can replace it in all my files with a small script and use dur or similar in the future.

Here is the screenshot:

Test-Vault

Here my little test-vault: the last line in file 2023-w43 (the d-field) throws a "TypeError: t.values is not a function" obsi_test1.zip

Thanks. Fixed it. I've also added support for date fields. Will release soon.
