Hello, everyone. Obsidian has been acting a little weird since I added my iPad to the mix. Currently I’m syncing between my Windows PC, my Android phone and my iPad.
I am using the paid Obsidian syncing service.
The iPad, which had been removed from the circuit for a couple of months got re-added, and I noticed it didn’t sync properly with the online shared vault.
So then I went over to my PC and to save a back up before actually starting up Obsidian there (and thus triggering the sync process) and then when I did launch Obsidian I ended up with several errors (two JAVA errors) and spent like 2 hours trying to make them stop and make Obsidian function normally on my PC again.
(I believe one of the two errors was a simple re-indexing/cache rebuilding of the vault, the other was related to a plugin.)
What is happening right now, most of the time, is that every fresh launch of Obsidian requires me to select my vault instead of launching right into it.
I thought today I’d try re-indexing and not only did that not solve the problem, but it gave me one of the errors from yesterday again.
(The attatched error referring to a .asar file.)
I believe this error pertains to a plugin. I was able to get it to disappear by turning them all off and on, and I specifically think it’s the “Recent Files” plugin which does not actually begin to function properly until it is turned off and on post a re-indexing. After that, the JAVA error seems to go away.
Everything works, nonetheless at this point.
Both my iPad and my Phone are syncing and so is my PC but these weird errors and behaviors are still kinda weirding me out. This only happened a couple nights ago when I added my iPad back into the mix.
I also see lots of conflict files in my “.obsidian” folder and I don’t know what those are or what to do with them.
What I’m trying to do
I am trying to right now most of all just get my main vault to open every time like it used to.
(And maybe get some insight and info regarding those conflict files).
Things I have tried
- Re-indexing vault.
- Reinstalling Obsidian. (made sure to delete all files from %appdata% folder.
- Previously, manually deleting the cache and .asar folders/files from the %appdata% folder and letting Obsidian rebuild them.
Related questions
- Would it help to remove the actual synced vault completely and resync my vault?
- What about all of those conflict files seen in the attachment below? Can I delete those or are they important?
As I am writing this again the .asar plugin issue game up again, and for one cycle Obsidian did not need me to select my vault. Now it is again asking me to select my vault. And the .asar error resolved itself this time without me needing to play around with any plugins.
What is happening?
Thanks to anyone who helps me out here.
