Development

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/semernyakov/polychat.git

# Install dependencies
npm install

# Build the plugin
npm run build

# Lint the code
npm run lint

# Check for obsolete models
npm run check-models -- --help

Model Checking

The check_obsolete_models.ts script verifies if the plugin is using any obsolete Groq models.

Quick Start (Recommended)

# Check with custom plugin data path (Linux/macOS)
npm run check-models -- --plugin-data-dir=~/.config/obsidian/plugins/groq-chat-plugin/data

# Check with custom plugin data path (Windows)
npm run check-models -- --plugin-data-dir=%APPDATA%\\obsidian\\plugins\\groq-chat-plugin\\data

Additional Options

1. Specify Obsidian config directory (if you know the path to .obsidian):

   npm run check-models -- --config-dir=~/.config/obsidian

2. Use environment variables (useful for scripts):

   OBSIDIAN_VAULT_PATH=~/.config/obsidian \
   npm run check-models

3. Development mode (uses default paths):

   NODE_ENV=development npm run check-models

Plugin Settings Location

Plugin settings are usually found in one of these locations:

• Linux: ~/.config/obsidian/plugins/groq-chat-plugin/data/settings.json
• Windows: %APPDATA%\\obsidian\\plugins\\groq-chat-plugin\\data\\settings.json
• macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/obsidian/plugins/groq-chat-plugin/data/settings.json

What Does the Script Do?

1. Finds the plugin's settings file
2. Checks which models are specified in the settings
3. Compares them with the current list of available Groq models
4. Shows any obsolete or non-existent models
