Describe the bug Getting Syntax error: No number after minus sigh in JSON at position 1

To Reproduce I don't remember how this happened, but it is either related to Excalibrain or when I opened a new workspace layout

Expected behavior No such error shows up

This typically happens when you close Obsidian abruptly and Excalidraw is in midway saving (e.g. your mobile OS freeing up memory and closing tasks in the background), or terminating Obsidian without first closing the drawing, etc.

I have changed the save interval to moderate to account for this, but I had made the interval to "Rare" for the following reason: https://github.com/zsviczian/obsidian-excalidraw-plugin/issues/958

I keep my Obsidian Desktop save interval @15 minutes as well, however I also press CTRL+S before quitting Obsidian, just to be on the safe side. Unfortunately Obsidian does not await async operations upon app termination. Did the autosave backup work for you? That should give you access at least to the version from the last successful save.

Yes this seems to be working thanks.

@zsviczian is there anyone to be done here if I don't have auto-save / backup?

zsviczian commented 1 month ago

share your md file and I can take a look

So, turns out I was actually on an older version of excalidraw (2.0.X on the PC this seemed to be failing on.

Worked just fine on my other PC, which made me realize the plug-ins weren't updating on my issue PC and was the likely issue.

Updating to 2.2+ fixed :+1:

good to hear! Yes, unfortunately I had to implement some breaking changes to the file structure to meet the changing needs of the plugin. This means that new files will not open with the old plugin... though with only a little tweak they can be made to work... but updating all devices is the best approach.
