    yep. mdx most likely

    Unfortunate to hear this, as I can't imagine repeatedly reloading VSCode simply to preview my site. I'll keep my eye on Dendron and hopefully things like this will change as it matures.
  • p
    So I have created a 
    changelog
    schema that is identical in hierarchy to 
    journal
    . Is there a way I can add a keybinding / execute a command similar to 
    dendron.createDailyJournalNote
    (
    Ctrl+Shift+I
    ) which would create a note with today's date under the 
    changelog
    domain?
  • k
    Yeah, this is the case now - are you on Windows (I was able to easily repro this on Windows)? Filed a bug because this shouldn't be expected behavior: https://github.com/dendronhq/dendron/issues/640
  • m
    the "Site: Preview" may be substituted by "dendron.sitePreview"
  • p
    Okay ended up using the Dendron CLI via an external command. However it's a bit slow, is there a way to speed it up? Maybe getting the local engine port (not sure how to do this) instead of having to spin up a new instance?
  • k
    the way to do it today is to switch to a note that is part of the changelog domain and then use the shortcut for journal note (ctrl+shift+j)
  • p
    That appends 
    journal.
    , is there anyway to get rid of that ? I guess this is better than having to call an external script that calls the CLI
  • k
    add the following command at the end of your command. it will connect to the running engine
    Copy code
    --enginePort `cat .dendron.port`
  • k
    you can change the default journal name: https://wiki.dendron.so/notes/eea2b078-1acc-4071-a14e-18299fc28f48.html#dendrondefaultjournalname if your okay with using it for all your journal notes
  • p
    Causes an error, seems to be taking that as a literal string for the port number
  • p
    Copy code
    json
 "options": {
        "url": "http://localhost:cat .dendron.port/api/note/info",
        "qs": {},
        "body": {},
        "json": true,
        "method": "GET",

        "resolveWithFullResponse": false,
        "transform2xxOnly": false
    },
  • p
    to be clear, am not calling the command from within the VS Code terminal, if that changes anything..
  • k
    hmm, are you using powershell? this is an example of using the CLI from a mac terminal to do site preview
    Copy code
    dendron buildSite --wsRoot . --stage dev --serve --enginePort `cat .dendron.port`
  • p
    No, I'm on GNU/Linux
  • k
    can you show me an example of the CLI command that is failing?
  • p
    Copy code
    bash
#!/bin/bash

YEAR=`date +'%Y'`
MONTH=`date +'%m'`
DAY=`date +'%d'`

dendron note lookup --wsRoot ~/notes/ --enginePort `cat .dendron.port` --quiet --query "changelog.$YEAR.$MONTH.$DAY"
  • k
    in your case, I would change it to "--enginePort `cat ~/notes/.dendron.port`"
  • k
    dendron writes the local port to the root of your workspace
  • p
    Oh gotcha, yeah makes sense, didn't realize cat is THE cat haha
  • k
    yeah, that cat 😅
  • p
    Okay, now I'm getting a
    Copy code
    UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: TypeError: Cannot read property 'statusCode' of undefined
  • k
    oh, that's because there's currently no running engine
  • p
    Copy code
    json

    so dendron starts the engine when you have vscode running. you can also launch it manually using 
    launchEngineServer
    https://wiki.dendron.so/notes/23a1b942-99af-45c8-8116-4f4bb7dccd21.html#launchengineserver
  • p
    That's the thing, VS Code is running
  • p
    🤔
  • k
    hmm, is it running with an active workspace?
  • k
    you can see what the port is by using 
    Open Logs
    and grepping for 
    port
  • p
    Yep, the workspace I'm trying to create the changelog note in
