yup

thank you kindly for taking the time with this issue 🙂

Hum, so I peeked at the source code and it seems like it would be the case if

parentNote

is null - so I ran Dendron Doctor and it actually resulted in an error too:

{
  "err": {
    "msg": "no childNote found: 42766300-7023-4fd6-b189-0f98592cca93"
  }
}

That note isn't strange in any way though, and after I had saved it, ran Doctor again, it succeeded without error, but the

buildSite

command still fails

(not sure if this is anyhow helpful)

Oh, but removing

stub: true

from the parent note did fix the issue!

I'm not sure why that happened - I left

writeStubs

of the

buildSite

command at default value (i.e. true), and I don't recall adding a

stub: true

prop

ah, that makes sense why buildSite is acting up. the default in build pod is to have

writeStubs

as false

see the earlier convo for the reasoning behind that flag https://discord.com/channels/717965437182410783/735365126227493004/778642416177512508

the cli and the vscode extension defaults must have fallen out of sync at some point

oh, right - well it's true by default in

buildSite

(which was in fact acting up, not "Build pod")

sorry, s/buildPod/buildPod

still drinking my morning coffee here 😅

i'm glad you got it working though. the error isn't helpful either way so will do some investigating to get this fixed for the next release

Does anyone use prettier for automatic markdown formatting? I love using it but it has this super annoying feature that I cant seem to turn off through the options config where it keeps adding a backslash ( \ ) prior to every '*'. This makes it unusable with refs * syntax. Anyone run into this and fixed it?

It's a shared drive at work that belongs to another team. They've decided on this kinda crazy directory structure, so I can't really change it but I need to access the files. I'm currently using desktop shortcuts to link in to the relevant directories, but having links in my Dendron notes about what I'm working on seems nicer.

@User hmm, i don't use autoformatting but prettier is usually pretty configurable

you could also switch formatting for markdown specifically to use the vscode default

or you could live on the wild side and not format 🙂

we do have a task to build our own canonical formatter in the pipes as well

> you could also switch formatting for markdown specifically to use the vscode default @User I'm assuming from experience vscode auto-formatter is good?

not sure - haven't tried this out yet 😅

Oh man, you live on the wild side eh?

its all about a balance of structure and freedom 🙂

Resolved to the fact that I need to learn about schemas. To get me started I am hoping someone could mock up a schema for me. The example I have is: work.team work.team.paul work.team.kevin work.zone work.training Is this a good way to organize and make use of Dendron, and schema's in general? Thanks for any push in the right direction. I am also thinking for all "meeting notes" of doing something like: mn.[topic].[date] where topic would be several known topics and possibly new topics not in the schema, and date would just be the date. Still not sure if I have wrapped my head around this yet, but I am trying!

@User

- id: work
  title: Work
  parent: root
  children: [team, zone, training]

- id: team
  title: Team
  namespace: true

- id: zone
  title: Zone
  namespace: true

- id: training
  title: Training
  namespace: true

@User Thanks - that is great and get's me going. So the purpose is really to drive consistency - if I type a pattern that is not supported by a schema then Dendron will let me know - right?

It'll show an error msg if you do so, I'm not sure if it happens to every error or not though

Cheers - I am slowly coming around 🙂 I appreciate you taking the time to point me in the right direction!

no problem! Glad to see people like you enjoying Dendron! Feel free to ask in the server if you have any questions

Thanks. I am starting to get the hang of it. I've been using Obsidian for a while and I am trying to make the switch.
