Troubleshooting

Plugin Doesn't Load After Build

Issue: Plugin doesn't appear in Obsidian after building

Solution: Ensure main.js and manifest.json are at the top level of the plugin folder under <Vault>/.obsidian/plugins/<plugin-id>/

Build Issues

Issue: main.js is missing after build

Solution: Run npm run build or npm run dev to compile your TypeScript source code

Commands Not Appearing

Issue: Commands don't show up in command palette

Solution:

  • Verify addCommand runs after onload
  • Ensure command IDs are unique
  • Check that commands are properly registered

Settings Not Persisting

Issue: Settings reset after reloading Obsidian

Solution:

  • Ensure loadData/saveData are awaited
  • Re-render the UI after changes
  • Verify settings are properly merged with defaults

Mobile-Only Issues

Issue: Plugin works on desktop but not mobile

Solution:

  • Confirm you're not using desktop-only APIs
  • Check isDesktopOnly setting in manifest
  • Test on actual mobile devices or adjust compatibility
