[BUG] Failed to load user script /scripts/AutomaticBookNotesFromReadwise.js. Default export is not a function.

[leonardsellem]

Describe the bug
When I launch the add book notes macro, an error message displays : "Failed to load user script /scripts/AutomaticBookNotesFromReadwise.js. Default export is not a function.".
Anyway, it creates a file for my book, but with a degraded template.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to 'command palette'
2. Click on 'run QuickAdd'
3. Click on 'Add book'
4. Click on a book name
5. See error

Expected behavior
A file should be created on the model of my template, with every variable filled properly.

Hey, @leonardsellem! Thank you for your report.

It looks like it's Templater that's complaining. Templater doesn't support that type of script, which is why I have the {{MACRO:Readwise::instaFetchBook}} in my book notes template.

Although, it does seem like the script ran (drawing this from the Author field being filled out), so I'm wondering if you both activate the script and try to call it from Templater?

Hi @chhoumann , thank you for your quick feedback !
Do you mean I need to deactivate Templater ?

[chhoumann]

That shouldn't be needed. But could you show me your entire template?

Thank you! Do you by chance have your Templater scripts folder set to the same folder as the one you placed this script in?

I'm referring to this setting in Templater

Because if you did, Templater will try to 'understand' it - which it can't, because it's not supported by Templater.

As you can see in my image, I actually ended up giving Templater its own folder within my 'scripts' folder.

So maybe just create a separate folder for QuickAdd scripts. Or do what I did and create a 'Templater' folder within your scripts folder and tell Templater to look there - and move your Templater scripts there, of course.

You rock ! It works so well !
