I could have been clearer; I meant the Dendron CLI. You could generate the frontmatter yourself as SeriousBug just suggested. Another option would be to use dendron's note lookup from the CLI. something like
dendron note lookup --quiet --wsRoot "$DENDRON_WORKSPACE" --attach --useLocalEngine --enginePort 4040 --query "$NOTE"
in a shellscript. It would generate the frontmatter for you.

I can reproduce this - actually, I've encountered this error message in my daily use as well
there aren't any functional consequences
the note is created or found just fine

it would be good to nip this in the bud in any case
I believe the reasons this happens are understood, but it hasn't been fixed yet

do you have multiple vaults in your workspace?
v

vishal.gandhi

02/23/2022, 3:03 AM
yes
b

benhsm | Jack of N trades

02/23/2022, 3:03 AM
ah
so then you will need to specify a vault
if you look at your
dendron.yml
you should be able to see the names of your different vaults, something like:
Copy code
yml
workspace:
    dendronVersion: 0.70.0
    vaults:
        -
            fsPath: vault3
            name: vaultThree
        -
            fsPath: vault2
            visibility: private
        -
            fsPath: vault
        -
            fsPath: assets

it worked now
but the command is not finding my main vault
let me check
dendron.yml
how do i reference default vault
workspace: vaults: - fsPath: test - fsPath: templates seed: dendron.templates name: dendron.templates - fsPath: vault
just vault

benhsm | Jack of N trades

02/23/2022, 3:07 AM
something like
dendron note lookup --query "note-in-vault2" --vault vault2
yeah, in your case
it should be just 'vault'
v

02/23/2022, 3:07 AM

typically, if I know the name of the file created, I like to just pipe it in
at the time of note creation
v

vishal.gandhi

02/23/2022, 3:11 AM
got it
what should be the value of $DENDRON_WORKSPACE dir path or path/workspapce file
I passed the location, it worked
b

benhsm | Jack of N trades

02/23/2022, 3:57 AM
it's the directory that has
dendron.yml
directly under it
and the code workspace file

i am new to linux , not able to figure out pipe to
dendron note lookup
command and append the text below frontmatter. any tips will help
b

benhsm | Jack of N trades

You wouldn't pipe to the command, but rather to the file that was created. something like:
Copy code
sh
#!/bin/sh
[...]
dendron note lookup --vault "$DENDRON_VAULT" --wsRoot "$DENDRON_WS" --query "$NOTE" --quiet"
echo "text to be piped" >> ${DENDRON_VAULT}/${NOTE}.md
instead of echo, you might call a script like:
Copy code
sh
#!/bin/sh

IFS=$(printf '\n\t')
for i in $(task status:pending +next export | jq '.[].description' --raw-output); do
    printf -- "- [ ] %s\n" "$i"
done
