LiquidText: Obsidian 1.6.7 keeps crashing after opening any file on any vault

Help

latest obsidian on mac os crashing like there is no tomorrow.
i am on sonoma 14.6.1 .
today obsidian wouldnt open any more.
keeps crashing whenever i open any file.
reinstalled, resynced, … doesnt matter … keeps crashing as soon as i open any file.
2 hours just not able to use obsidian and wondering if i should look for an alternative.

looking at the crash report it seems that Obsidian is crashing when trying to open a file from the vault. The key details are:

  1. The crash occurs in the main thread (CrBrowserMain)
  2. The exception type is EXC_BREAKPOINT (SIGTRAP)
  3. The specific error message is:
    -[__NSArrayM intValue]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x13003d94e00

but i am not an export.

where is your vault stored?

does it happen in the sandbox vaullt?

3

vault is stored in ~/Documents/Obsidian
happens with synced vaults or when i create new vaults.
also got a info to delete .obsidian folder from the vaults and try again.
keeps crashing on me.

4

when did you update to 14.6.1?
Did this begin happening right after that?

5

actually i recently updated to 14.6.1 but i am pretty sure that i used obsidian couple of times afterwards.

We haven’t released an update, so I am not sure what changed on your end to cause this.

If this happens when only the sandbox vault is running, it may be an OS problem or something else interfering. Do you run an antivirus or something similar?

I can’t believe it, but I had EXACTLY the same problem – LiquidText (2.10.24) extension causing Obsidian (1.6.7) to crash hard when opening any note on MacOS Sonoma (14.6.1) – with or without plugins, on a fresh install of Obsidian, etc. (I even reinstalled MacOS from recovery…) But immediately upon deactivating the LiquidText extension, Obsidian returned to normal performance. THANK YOU for posting this. It would have taken hours and hours to walk backward to that recent (and apparently unrelated) change.

I wanted to chime in that I had this exact problem and it was driving me nuts. This solved it for me, and I can get back to work. Thank you!

I registered to say a thank you that this just pinpointed the same issue for me after a week of frustration caused by LiquidText :slight_smile:

Note that its blast radius is not limited to Obsidian but I also encountered crashes in Chrome and system apps. Their developer should issue a PSA and a fix asap.

Thank you!
