If it doesn't work then, and the directory your workspace is in does not have the files you had in your github repo, I suspect that cloning failed. What could have happened is git was expecting user credentials and the

Vault Add

command failed because you couldn't be prompted during the command.

ok, i think see the issue (i should pay attention to errors!). I was using the default "vault" when prompted adding the remote. error is it already exists

ah ok. so there was an existing vault name.

I'll try with a new folder and see if that works

let me know 🙂

Yes, it is there from the "Initialize Workspace" step

Ah yes. this could definitely cause some confusion for first time users. I'll open an issue to make this a bit more straightforward.

Or if you are comfortable with filing an issue yourself, you could do so here: https://github.com/dendronhq/dendron/issues/new?assignees=&labels=&template=feature_request.md&title=

either way is fine 🙂

Ok, now error is about accessing github " could not read Username" .i think because it is private. Looking at "trusted extension" for github

yes that was the problem I was suspecting that it was happening.

I'll do it. It will be good for me to figure out that process 🙂

https remote urls will always ask you for credentials. can you try using the url starting with

git

?

well for that to work he would need to set up ssh

there are ways to store your credentials and make vscode stop asking you for it every time, but it will be stored in plaintext which is not a great idea.

I can get ssh set up. That's how I set it up on my work computer because of proxy issues. I'm playing around with doing it manually. I'm guessing the dendron extension won't need github access once i have the repo set up right. Weird, clicking on my user icon, then "Manage Trusted Extensions" doesn't provide any obvious way to manage extensions.

if you use the https url it will ask you every time you push or pull.

Hello. I am trying to build the site for my Dendron workspace, but I am getting an error: "**Error: no notes found for root in vaults **" I have a multi vault repository and have the following

dendron.yml

yml
version: 1
vaults:
    -
        fsPath: personal
        name: Personal
    -
        fsPath: dev
        name: Dev
useFMTitle: true
noLegacyNoteRef: true
site:
    copyAssets: true
    siteHierarchies:
        - root
    siteRootDir: _site
    siteUrl: "localhost:3000"
    usePrettyRefs: true
    title: Bruno Paz | Knowledge base
    description: Personal knowledge space
initializeRemoteVaults: true

What I am doing wrong? I want to export all hierarchies of my vault

Also, a related question, how can I generate the site only for a specific vault?

I do not have multiple vaults published, so I may be wrong here. But I've seen similar problems when people had duplicate notes in each vaults.

might be worth checking this setting: https://wiki.dendron.so/notes/f2ed8639-a604-4a9d-b76c-41e205fb8713.html#duplicatenotebehavior-optional

I've never published & don't ever intend to... but I've had issues with duplicates across vaults, since I'm using PARA in both, it would only load 1 set of schemas, so for work I renamed all the .md files work.whatever & all the schema files work_whatever, since

.

isn't supported before the

.schema.yml

ending

That was it. configured the

duplicateNoteBehavior

did the trick. Thanks. 😉

Nice! Glad it worked out right away

Publishing stopped working a few days ago for me and I'm investigating what's happening. I'm running

npx dendron-cli buildSiteV2 --wsRoot .  --stage dev --serve

and it's complaining that it can't read a file that has an ill-formated name:

Error: error reading file, /Users/hikchoi/Cerebrarium/vault/test|scratch.2021.03.20.144219.test.md

this seems like it was created from the ctrl+hover behavior with the pretty ref and I may have forgot that I have to remove the note with the

Delete Node

command. So Dendron still thinks that file exists. I had a similar problem with some now non-existent notes that were refactored out to somewhere else. This I solved by temporarily creating the note of culprit, and then deleting it properly with the command. I can't seem to do the same walk-around for this file however. It would be great inspect what notes Dendron actually thinks exists for these kind of debugging sessions. Trying to come up with a solution for this. Any pointers?

I think this error is a common frustration among users and something that makes you scratch your head for a while. A partially failed local preview ends up giving you a preview that shows some pages properly but the one that failed (and all the other notes that was in the line waiting to be rendered) gives you a

Cannot GET /notes/{id}.html

. I'll try to document the process of how I fixed this and share it so other people who are having similar problems can reference it. Also hopefully figure out a way to prevent this from happening 🙂

We fixed the hover issue in the last release by changing the "go to definition" behavior. see here: https://wiki.dendron.so/notes/9bc92432-a24c-492b-b831-4d5378c1692b.html#goto-note-command it currently is the default for new workspaces but i left the old behavior in for current users to give them time to transition. will update the default this week to remove the definition behavior and then remove the behavior all together a few weeks after

oh yes I do remember that. but I think I have encountered other ways to make notes that I did not intend to, and mistakenly remove it from the explorer pane instead of the delete node command which lead to some out-of-sync behavior in Dendron.

oh yeah, for those please let me know or document and i'll be sure we take care of them 🙂
