Probably related to all all the other Failed to open ""
threads, but with a different spin. Opened it under “Help”, since third-party related issues are not accepted as bugs.
I heavily use Obsidian, also with dataviewjs, but it seems like made the mistake to perform some updates and since then everything is broken, namely Obsidian can’t open any note anymore as long as dataview(js) is enabled and a query on the currently opened note hits any results.
It’s very easy to reproduce: create a new vault, add the dataview plugin, enable dataviewjs, add a query to one note, like:
const regex = /[\d]{4}\-[\d]{2}\-[\d]{2}/g
function safe_match(t) {
m = t.text.match(regex)
if (m != null) {
return m[0]
}
}
const tasks = dv.pages().file.tasks.where(t => t.text.includes("#todo")).where(t => dv.date(safe_match(t)) !== null).where(t => dv.date(safe_match(t)) <= dv.date('today')).where(t => !t.completed)
dv.taskList(tasks)
Now add a second note with a task that matches, e.g.
- [ ] Testentry 2025-05-22 #todo
From now on, as long as the first note with the query is opened Obsidian can’t open any notes again - not even from files. It always returns Failed to open ""
.
