Cannot Load Obsidian Plugin

[stephenstubbs]

I just wanted to say thank you for this amazing project. I am really keen on trying this out. After installing and enabling the plugin I do not get any error highlighting like I think I should be getting. When restarting Obsidian It hangs and says: plugin "harper" is taking long to load. This is on MacOS.

That's not great! To figure this out, would you mind doing three things for me?

1. Make sure you're using the latest version, which (at the time of writing) should be v0.13.0.
2. Type out This is an test in an open file. Do you get any red underlines?
3. Take a screenshot of the problem, including the developer console. You can do this on MacOS by pressing Cmd+Option+I at the same time.

Not OP, but having the same exact issues.

Using v.0.13.0.

Seeing that the plugin loads for too long, I disabled it. Now it always loads disabled.

Blank config panel:

@elijah-potter same for me, on macOS, latest version 0.13.0

Hmmm, I'm not able replicate the issue on my end. @mxgrn would you take a similar screenshot, but swap over to the "Console" tab at the top of the developer tools? We'll get this fixed in a jiffy.

Alright. I've created a new release of the Obsidian plugin that might fix your issue. Go ahead and update to v0.14.0.

If it doesn't immediately start working, try disabling Web Worker usage in settings. At worst, I'll get a better understanding of the issue. I'm still unable to replicate it on my end (on MacOS or any other platform), so thank you for all information you've been able to give me.

First, a dev console screenshot

Not seeing Harper in Obsidian settings:

Maybe due to:

Hi,

I have just tried updating it to v0.14.0 and am getting this error when I enable the plugin.

I then have the same issue when I restart and have to disable it. Same as screenshot provided by @mxgrn.

@elijah-potter worked for me on a new installation of obsidian on a new machine (Windows)

OS: Windows 11
Obsidian v1.7.7
Harper v0.14.0

[murtuzaalisurti]

unfortunately, it doesn't work on macOS.

Experiencing a similar issue. The plugin doesn't block startup but will return the same TypeError when I try to activate the plugin manually.

OS: Mac OS Sequoia 15.2 (24C101) Apple Silicon
Obsidian v1.7.7
Harper v0.15.0

Troubleshooting:

1. Turn off all plugins (also tried creating a brand new vault)
2. Install Harper
3. Enable breakpoints for erros
4. Enabling Harper leads to the following errors Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/Users/xxx/Desktop/test obsidian/test/.obsidian/plugins/harper/data.json' at async open (node:internal/original-fs/promises:636:25) at async Object.readFile (node:internal/original-fs/promises:1246:14)
5. I've tried copying data.json from a Windows installation to the indicated directory. It returns the error attached below.

Would love to have this working on MacOS. Any way to help or look further into this?
