Doh, oh, that config file, right! For some reason I was looking for extension settings. I also just found the cheatsheet in the docs.. yay. Thanks!

My extension doesn't seem to be starting up. How can I troubleshoot this?

I seem to be stuck waiting behind accounts.

hrm.

A reboot has me loading the extension but now it seems to be taking a pretty, pretty long time.

info: {"ctx":"ReloadIndex.execute","msg":"enter"}

maybe need to set log to debug

My problem was solved when I deleted a bunch of documents.

What is the upper limit?

You mean a limit on the number of notes? Dendron's internal workspace has over 3,000 notes, and I believe Kevin has over 20,000 in his personal notes. Dendron should be able to scale pretty well.

Linked to this, it might be interesting to consider providing some statistics: the number of notes, the number of total characters, words, links, maybe accrual over time, etc. with calculations on the vault, domain, subdomain bases? Or is this somewhere already? On performance, it would be great to know what the reasonable upper limits are. This can be simulated with pseudo-text. I imagine moving past 20k easily in team situations with small notes.

Whatever it is, if I have 80 or so files of yaml saved as markdown, the extension fails to load.

It hangs on indexing.

Debug offers no insights -- it simply becomes unresponsive.

Now, granted -- I understand that yaml is problematic and that certainly, if it is trying to build a hierarchy, I am giving it a tough go at it.

That certainly shouldn't be happening, I'd consider that a bug. What do you mean when you say "yaml saved as markdown", you mean schema files?

I mean that I used yq to parse out bits of json and for item in items created notes via dendron-cli.

So, that part of the process, too, could be to blame.

the dendron-cli part.

Also, there was no schema for the heirarchy. I was off-road.

I've actually been thinking of creating some scripts to generate random notes to stress-test and profile Dendron, but not sure I have time to do it right now 🙂

That shouldn't be a problem, is there anything weird within the contents of these notes? Or the file names? It shouldn't just hang initialization, but it wouldn't hurt to check.

There's all kinds of markup for text interpolation.

{{this}} and {{that}}

All kinds of bits and bobs that I reckon would give a parser a tough go at it.

it's essentially a yaml representation of datadog monitor objectds.

I had it in json but I was playing with the concept of mechanically generated notes.

yaml seemed like a decent compromise.

the dendron cli and the vscode were both ver 50

Something you could try to diagnose the issue is to run "Developer: Show Logs", select any of the options that pop up, then select "Dendron" from the dropdown in the bottom right. That should show you the logs for the extension.
