[Igor1257]

obsidian-update and obsidian-jump return "mapcar: Wrong type argument: sequencep, 108"

obsidian.el
Version: 20231211.1857
Commit: 56f6861
Summary: Obsidian Notes interface

GNU Emacs 29.1 (build 2, x86_64-w64-mingw32) of 2023-07-30

PS: Previous version obsidian.el worked fine

Update: On note opening returning "File mode specification error: (wrong-type-argument sequencep 108)"

Can you tell which was the previous version you used?

There is at least one additional error for obsidian-jump, if the "selected" or typed file name is invalid, it fails with
find-file-noselect: Wrong type of argument: stringp, nil

I'm sorry. I'm not sure. I think it was the version created in November 2023.

I have the same error after updated to 56f6861.

After I rolled back to version 1.4.1, this bug disappeared and was probably introduced in version 1.4.2.

Let me know please if something else is not working after the fix

Unfortunately, using the latest version, there are still errors, the information is as follows:

Wrong type argument: sequencep, 2023

@licht1stein Hello )

Have got "mapcar: Wrong type argument: sequencep, 108" after upgrade obsidian.el and restart emacs

Please suggest me. Which variables or settings will be useful for debugging the issue

Part of my .emacs

(obsidian-specify-path "~/Vault/export testing")
;; If you want a different directory of `obsidian-capture':
(setq obsidian-inbox-directory "Inbox")

;; Define obsidian-mode bindings
(add-hook
  'obsidian-mode-hook
  (lambda ()
   ;; Replace standard command with Obsidian.el's in obsidian vault:
  (local-set-key (kbd "C-c C-o") 'obsidian-follow-link-at-point)

   ;; Use either `obsidian-insert-wikilink' or `obsidian-insert-link':
  (local-set-key (kbd "C-c C-l") 'obsidian-insert-wikilink)

   ;; Following backlinks
  (local-set-key (kbd "C-c C-b") 'obsidian-backlink-jump)))

;; Optionally you can also bind `obsidian-jump' and `obsidian-capture'
;; replace "YOUR_BINDING" with the key of your choice:
;;(global-set-key (kbd "YOUR_BINDING") 'obsidian-jump)
;;(global-set-key (kbd "YOUR_BINDING") 'obsidian-capture)

;; Activate detection of Obsidian vault
(global-obsidian-mode t)

How can I replicate?

[licht1stein]

Please do M-x toggle-debug-on-error RET and attach the stack trace.

I found that a problematic YAML front matter was causing this error for me:

---
tags: obsidian
---

Backtrace from M-x obsidian-update:

After changing the front matter it worked fine:
