Note duplicates after a rename file or move file operation (possibly from Obsidian Sync)

Bug graveyard

The issue

I’m experiencing issues with [[Obsidian Sync]] resulting in notes being “duplicated” after a file rename operation, and possibly seen after a file move operation (actions performed within Obsidian). The issue has occurred multiple times on 1.4.13-release (and 1.4.13-installer), but also traced back some issues to pre 1.4.13 release; most likely 1.4.12-release (Insider) and previous installer (1.3.5?).

To reproduce

Note that I’m having a hard time reproducing the issue now (was easy to reproduce on 2023-09-18 around 20:00 CEST).

The steps to reproduce (when the issue occurs)

After a rename file operation (F2 > Renamed title > Enter)

  • Step 1: Create a new file: NewFile.md (new note)
  • Step 2: Change the note title, e.g. from NewFile.md to FirstRename.md
  • Result: Both NewFile.md and FirstRename.md now exists, with the very same content (but different names)
  • Note that the editor automatically “switches” to the new/renamed file (so it actually seems to be working as expected), but the “old file” (e.g. NewFile.md) is available using the Obsidian Quick Switcher (with the old name, that is).

After a file move operation (Move current file to another folder)

  • Step 1: Create a new file: NewFile.md (new note)
  • Step 2: Move the file to another folder.
  • Result: Both files now exist (duplicate, but in different folders)
  • Note that the editor automatically “switches” to the new/moved file (so it actually seems to be working as expected), but the “old file” is available using the Obsidian Quick Switcher (with the old path, that is).

Initial findings

It seems to me like Obsidian Sync is maybe (re)downloading the (old) file, when it should(?) only be deleting the (previous) file (pre rename), and then upload the new (renamed) file.

Details

  • 202309182000.md: initial (new) file, which was successfully deleted post changing the title (filename)
  • 202309182000 test 1.md: updated filename (first time)
  • 202309182000 test 1 oppdatert.md: updated filename (second)
  • 202309182000 test 1 oppdatert 2.md: updated filename (third)
  • Post rename operations, I now have three (3) files with identical content but different filenames.

Sidenotes

  • [archer] is the same computer/MacOS.
  • I did not change any tabs or windows in Obsidian (all done within the same tab/window/pane)
  • I did not have [[Obsidian]] open on any other device when the issue occured
  • I only use [[Obsidian Sync]] for syncing my notes
  • I have a self-hosted [[Gitea]] (git repo), using a push-only approach, primarily for change tracking and version control (where I initially detected this issue)
  • I have [[DEVONthink]] indexing my [[Obsidian Vault]] (index only)

Here is another example, when I moved a file (template, person.md) to my templates/ folder yesterday, and suddenly found that both file existed. Notice that there is no “Deleting remote file” operation in my sync log.

And here is another “rename operation” from today

  • NewFile.md (a refactored file from existing content)
  • FirstRename.md (renamed NewFile > FirstRename)
  • SecondRename.md (renamed FirstRename > SecondRename)
  • ThirdRename.md (renamed SecondRename > ThirdRename)

As seen in the logs:

  • 2023-09-20 13:27 - Deleting remote file NewFile.md
  • 2023-09-20 14:31 - Deleting remote file SecondRename.md

But both NewFile.md (initial file) and Thirdrename.md exist (partially duplicates based on content).

Note: I sanitized the file names, and removed other messages (just leaving the upload/deleting/rejected/downloading parts of this specific file).

RECOMMENDATIONS:
	Custom theme and snippets: for cosmetic issues, please first try updating your theme and disabling your snippets. If still not fixed, please try to make the issue happen in the Sandbox Vault or disable community theme and snippets.
	Community plugins: for bugs, please first try updating all your plugins to latest. If still not fixed, please try to make the issue happen in the Sandbox Vault or disable community plugins.

Thank you very much for the bug report!

We’re investigating, but having trouble reproducing the issue. I would be very curious to know if anyone has managed to reproduce this issue with no plugins installed. Please let us know if you do.

If not, can it be reproduceded with either just Advanced Tables or just Dataview enabled?

After thinking a bit about previous cases where the issue occurred, I successfully reproduced the issue, but only once (re-tried the same operation several times later, without the same result). Including steps I took, if it somehow helps.

Step 1: Created file 202309202140.md
Step 2: Renamed file to 202309202140 NewNote.md (successfully deleted the previous)

Content of the file 202309202140 NewNote.md:

---
created: 202309202140
reviewed:

I want to refactor this

Step 3: I highlighted the text I want to refactor this and used [[Obsidian Plugin Note Refactor]] (hotkey) to “refactor the selection from my note to a new note” (copy selection into a new note, based on my template)

Note: The file name of the refatored note is currently I want to refactor this. Content of the (new/refactored) file:

---
created: 202309202140

# I want to refactor this

Step 4: Perform rename file operation from I want to refactor this → 202309202140 I want to refactor this. Press ENTER.

Result: I now have two (2) files being a duplicate:

  • I want to refactor this.md
    • From “refactoring”, but later renamed. I’d expect this to be deleted after the rename operation. ← The issue is this file persists (after the rename file operation).
  • 202309202140 I want to refactor this.md
    • From “refactoring”, after renaming operation

Sidenote: The first file (202309202140 NewNote.md), where I refactored the text from, actually updated the outgoing link to reflect the latest file rename.

Another one from today, where I was left with three (3) duplicates of the same file after three (3) “rename file operations”.

This is the full Obsidian Sync log, but I’ve sanitized the names, for simplicity, and “redacted” some irrelevant notes, but trying to keep the full sync log, for reference.

202309211112.md

  • Initial new file, using a template.
  • This file was deleted successfully after the first rename operation.

202309211112 FirstRename.md

  • The first rename file operation (changed title)
  • This file was never deleted after renaming

Notice from the logs

Question: Why do we think the file is being “Downloaded” via Obsidian Sync?
Reason for asking: It has no “remote changes” (AFAIK), hence should not be (re)downloaded?

202309211112 SecondRename.md

  • Second rename file operation (changed title)
  • This file was never deleted after renaming

Again, notice the “Downloading file” just before the rename operation (before “Uploading file” after file was renamed)

202309211112 ThirdRename.md

  • Third rename file operation (changed title)
  • This is the “final version” of the same note/file.

In files, I now have three (3) “versions” of the file I renamed three times.

Here is another one from just a few minutes ago, just after a Move current file to another folder operation

Including the full log below (partially sanitized, for simplicity), but the main issue seems to be around here, where I move the file FifthRename.md from the ROOT folder (/) to /webclips folder.

  • Notice there is no Deleting remote file operation when the file is moved.
