Can't upgrade to or install version 1.4.1

[therden]

Hello @schemar.

I'm eager to start using the latest version of Obsidian Tasks, but after making multiple attempts these past two days, I haven't been able to install it.

Within my main vault, Obsidian shows that 1.3.0 is currently installed, and that version 1.4.1 as available. But when I try to Update, although the process generates no errors (even in the Developer's console), afterward I still have version 1.3.0.

In addition to trying to Update, I've tried:

• Uninstalling and Re-installing the plugin from within Obsidian
  • same as above, but refreshing the community plugins list between the two steps
  • same as above, but exiting and then re-starting Obsidian in between the two steps
• Exiting Obsidian, manually deleting the folder containing the plugin, loading Obsidian, installing the plugin

And the problem has persisted on different computers (one Linux, one Windows) at different locations (home and work) and with different vaults. (Even when I create a new vault, when I install Tasks I get version 1.3.0.)

That's very weird. I just created a new vault and it installed version 1.4.1. Are you absolutely sure you are installing the Tasks plugin?

Thank you for getting back to me @schemar, and for taking the time to record that video.

I am familiar with the process for installing plugins, and am very certain that I was trying to update (and, when that didn't work uninstall/re-install) Obsidian Tasks.

The good news is that, whatever the cause was, it appears to now be resolved: a vault for which I'd repeatedly and unsuccessfully tried to update Tasks, which has been open all through this workday, now does have version 1.4.1.

I opened another vault that has been closed since this morning (when I last tried to update Tasks), and it was still on 1.3.0:

-- but this time when I clicked the Update button, it actually worked!

Very weird indeed...

Happy it worked out 😊

I've got exactly the same problem. Version is stuck on 1.3.0. Tried the same steps as OP but can't make it work.
