Enabling the extension causes the "Extension host terminated unexpectedly" error.

Hmm, I am running with no errors on Insiders:

Are you able to get any more detailed logs?

[kortina]

Anyone else having this issue?

From a quick look, it appears maybe you do not have git installed and this is a dependency? Can you confirm?

1. quickfix: install git
2. mid term: we can try to have a fallback, but this may really impact performance, so you prolly want to do (1) anyway

Surprised this has never come up before if this is the root cause...

Confirmed git is a dep: https://github.com/kortina/vscode-markdown-notes/blob/master/src/findNonIgnoredFiles.ts#L26

[RustyWraith]

I've installed git system-wide and added path to git_path:

The error changed:

findNonIgnoredFiles-git-exec-error Error: Command failed: git check-ignore
fatal: not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git

The Extension crushes only if specific folder is being opened:

D:\backup\Gdrive\LOGBOOK\Обработка_результатов

Could it be almighty Russian "I'll slip into you path and break everything" Cyrillic?

UPD:
Still a crash after a directory renamed.

[kortina]

Maybe. Do you still get a crash if you checkout the source for this repo and open the test dir: https://github.com/kortina/vscode-markdown-notes/tree/master/test

[RustyWraith]

Works fine.

Some folders cause crashes:

I have no idea, what crashing folders have in common.

[kortina]

Maybe find 1 crashing folder, and then go through and remove all files except 1 for each file and see if you can isolate the crash to a specific file causing it?

[RustyWraith]

It's somehow connected with total size of .txt files.
If any (I didn't test all of them, only tested a few) .txt of size 20+MB is deleted, the error is gone.

First of all, thanks for this great extension! It makes note-keeping in VSCode with Foam much more slick and fun.

I'm experiencing similar behavior, in that Markdown Notes seems to be crashing the extension host, but a different error message in the VSCode console.

I don't understand why it fails to find /bin/sh which is assuredly present.

When I disable Markdown Notes and reload the VSCode window, the extension host no longer crashes.

I'm installing Insiders now to test there as well.

[jeffmcneill]

Similar issue:

crashing the extensions and VS code itself.

[kortina]

I'm unable to replicate this issue.

@jeffmcneill what OS are you on? How many files and folders are in the project folder you're trying to use the extension with? (Maybe a project size issue similar to @RustyWraith's?)

[jeffmcneill]

@kortina

• Debian Testing
• VS Code 1.71.2
• Project folder has a large number of files and folders, as I use this as a general text editor. Hundreds of folders, thousands of files. Does the extension try and read those files/folders in some way?

[kortina]

Yes, it parses the contents of every file to find backlinks and tags. It probably won't work for such a large project folder. Long term it probably makes more sense to move all of this to a language server / background process, but that's not the way it works today. Sorry!
