[BUG] - Unable to install via Community Plugins

Looks like the latest release hasn't been finished yet. The manifest lists version 1.9.0, but the latest release is still 1.8.0. I'm also not seeing a 1.9.0 tag yet, so that may be while the release isn't available just yet.

I'm having the same issue. Doing a manual install worked and I was able to activate from there but can't install from the gui. It also lists it as ready to update and fails though.

Same issue here with Obsidian version 1.0.3 on Linux. Cannot update the plugin. Tried uninstalling it so I can reinstall it, and now can't even install it again.

Uninstalled it, Reinstalled it, and now it won't install.

Same on MacOS

same on win 10

People, and anyone from the future who sees this
The issue has been clearly defined above.
The manifest is listing a version that has not yet been released.
I'm sure it's coming soon, but until then, install manually or wait.
There is no point in repeatedly posting "same here on X", especially when it's not an OS related issue.

The manual installation instructions can be found on the plugin page, or in the README on the homepage of this repository.

I've tried manual installation and the plugin still didn't work. I'm going to try again right now. I'll edit this post to let you all know.

Well, it worked this time. Thanks @NeilClack for the information. Also here are the steps to install manually.

In your Obsidian vault (the one you are installing in) navigate to the folder .obsidian > plugins > 'created a folder' name it 'obsidian-spaced-repetition' > In the latest release '1.8.0' click to download main.js, manifest.json, and style.css. > make sure you place them in the 'obsidian-spaced-repetition' folder. Reload Obsidian and the plugin so be working.

If not check folder name for typo. Open and close the application again. delete folder and try again.

Hi all. Terribly sorry for breaking this in #531. Will add an interim release from my fork. Sorry for the trouble.

Please install 1.9.0 from my fork using the BRAT plugin. Should be as simple as first installing BRAT and then add a plugin for beta testing with the repo: AB1908/obsidian-spaced-repetition-fork.

Having this issue with version 1.9.0 of spaced repetition and obsidian 1.1.3

I cannot install - macos 10.13.6

Can we install an old version?
What is the estimated time to fix?
Should I use Anki instead?

Do my install instructions via brat not help?

This blocking bug has been around 2 weeks which is long enough that it should be just fixed without expecting end users to implement workarounds. Just my opinion.

I agree but the author seems to be busy and I'm only a volunteer trying to help people here. I'm not really obligated to help anyone but I hang around since I really like this plugin.

Of course. I appreciate you are trying to help and for some it will be helpful. 👍

I also understand this is the nature of open source and the author is not getting paid for this work but I also think some commitment is required of the authors to fix blocking bugs quickly or it undermines the confidence in Obsidian as a whole.

@grantx2016 that's a bit dramatic imo. Life gets in the way sometimes and it's Christmas! I'm sure everybody understands

dramatic

I'd call it realistic. End users don't care about the life challenges of open source devs. Cold but true. If Obsidian publishes a plug-in I don't think it's unreasonable for end users, who build their workflow around it, to expect that it be at least maintained operable. 2+ weeks for a fixing a blocking bug is too long, imo. If Obsidian don't start setting some plug-in standards along these lines then mass take up will be impeded and that hurts all the responsible devs who keep their code in order.

While I realize we are bikeshedding here, can you explain what you mean by "Obsidian publishes a plugin"?

If Obsidian don't start setting some plug-in standards along these lines then mass take up will be impeded and that hurts all the responsible devs who keep their code in order.

The Obsidian team is fairly transparent when they say that they are not responsible for ensuring community plugins continue to function properly after their initial review and listing on the community store.

All this said, I apologize for causing a breakage and have attempted to provide a reasonable workaround to help you get your work done meanwhile. Unsure what else you're asking for here.

Try not to be offended by my comments @AB1908. That's not my intent. I don't expect anything from you. Like others, I would just like this blocking bug fixed, properly, as there has been ample time to do so. I'm just trying to point out that end users don't care for all this dev stuff. You are working from a belief that Obsidian users are devs who have GitHub accounts, dev environments ets. Obsidian is a note taking app, not a sandpit for devs to tinker around on, or at least it shouldn't be, imo. Anyway, clearly we have different perspectives on how plugins should be managed so let's just leave it here as this is obviously now way off topic and one better to raise in the Obsidian forums. I appreciate you have tried to help but I think this is one of the author.

without expecting end users to implement workarounds

I do understand your emotions, but this could be a longer wait, what will you do if they don't update anymore?
