"Failed to load plugin" on iOS

Sentiment · March 1, 2023, 8:01pm

This small plugin works on desktop, but not mobile:

There doesn’t appear to be any way to debug plugins on iOS.

Can any experienced plugin developers easily spot the problem and point me toward a solution?

Thank you.

I was able to install (and enable it) on iOS, no errors, using BRAT. Give that a try.

The issue is here:

          const to:obsidian.EditorPosition = {
              line: currentCursor.line,
              ch: currentLine.indexOf(']]', currentCursor.ch - 2) + 2
          }
          
          
// Do nothing if a full link is not found
          if(!from || !to) return
          
          
// Search the full link text for only the text after the pipe and before the ']]'
          const fullLink = editor.getRange(from, to)
          const noteSearcher = new RegExp(/(?<=\|).+(?=]])/)
          const noteTextArray = noteSearcher.exec(fullLink)
          
          
// Do nothing if the search returns nothing
          if(!noteTextArray) return
          const noteText = noteTextArray.first()
          if(!noteText) return
          
          
// Replace the link with the found note text
          console.log('Replacing full link ' + fullLink + ' with ' + noteText)
          editor.replaceRange(noteText, from, to)

iOS Safari doesn’t support lookbehinds (support only just got added in a beta version, no idea when that will trickle down to Obsidian).
