2.3.2 broke my frontmatter processing template

[luckman212]

Not sure exactly why yet, but this commit has broken my template that processes frontmatter. It no longer does the replacement. No error in console, frontmatter just flickers and gets replaced with the save content as before. I had to revert to 2.3.1.

Plugin information

• OS: macOS
• Templater version: 2.3.2
• Obsidian version: 1.6.0 (Installer 1.5.12)
• Template folder location: templates/
• Timeout: 5

Instead of a timeout I would recommend seeing if the hooks module resolves the issue for you. Try wrapping your editor changes in the on_all_templates_executed hook.

Thanks @Zachatoo but I updated my code to use hooks, and still can't get it to work in 2.3.2. I updated the top post to point to a new version of the script that uses tp.hooks.on_all_templates_executed()

I might have a problem related to this. All my templates that use regex are built with the following structure / logic:

<%*
// based on the following example: https://github.com/SilentVoid13/Templater/discussions/255; relevant for other
var content = tp.file.content;
content = content.replace(/updated:(.*)/g, "updated: " + tp.date.now("YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ss"));
var file = app.workspace.activeLeaf.view.file; // *get current file*
app.vault.modify(file, content); // *replace content with new content*
%>

This stopped working for me with 2.3.2.

I see a flicker where content is replaced as expected and then after a split second, things revert. It would be great to know if this is a bug or intended behavior and how I might need to adjust all of my templater templates for this to work.

I was able to reproduce a similar issue when using "Create new note from template" with a simple template that includes tp.hooks.on_all_templates_executed to add frontmatter: #1309 (comment)

After the template insertion fix in 2.3.2, template insertion works (surprise!), but the frontmatter disappears when using "create new note from template" with the same template.

Not quite sure how, but I fixed my template and it's working with 2.3.2 now.

Should be fixed in 2.3.3.
