Support appending date/text before block ID

[wenlzhang]

With the current version of this plugin, date/text would be appended after block ID, if any:
- [x] Task ^blockid 2021-10-25

However, this may break the block ID. Therefore, is it possible to append date/text before the block ID, if any?
- [x] Task 2021-10-25 ^blockid

“may” break or does break?

“may” break or does break?

In fact, it does break block links in my case.

With version 0.6.5, I still experience this issue.

Please give me a more concrete example (with text).
Block references should be preserved / remain at the end of the line.
If you can suggest a revision to this test:

obsidian-task-collector/test/generatedRegExp.test.ts

Line 189 in c745eba

test('Correctly inserts item ahead of block references', () => {

, that would be excellent.

I did some tests with different block IDs, and the finding is interesting, as can be seen below.

• With the block ID ^your-id, as in the test file, it works as expected.
• With the block ID ^ho1nmr, it does not work.

The tests were done with the following conditions:

• The plugin version 0.6.5 was used.
• The block ID was randomly generated by using the following plugin:
  • https://github.com/mgmeyers/obsidian-copy-block-link
  • I frequently use this plugin to generate block IDs.
• [[completion::]YYYY-MM-DD[]] was configured to append text after completion, as in the test file.

Thank you! The specific example helps a lot. ;)

I forgot numbers in the regex. 🤦‍♀️

I forgot numbers in the regex. 🤦‍♀️

Also, I am not sure if that plugin would generate other characters in block IDs.

I think, based on Obsidian Help, that we're good:

I knew I had to support numbers.. not sure how they didn't end up in the regex. Probably because my test didn't have one!

That's glad to know!

Ok. Updated in 0.6.6 (which I just pushed, and should be updatable via BRAT).. let me know if I still messed something up! grr. ;)
