Describe the bug

Whenever I add a remote, self-contained vault to my workspace I get an error such as the one below + the vault is not recognized by dentron (Lookup won’t work + not displayed in dendron’s tab).

{"fsPath":"cim-shared-vault","remote":{"type":"git","url":"git@<actual_git_repo>.git"},"name":"CIM Shared vault","selfContained":true}

The graph panel would show this:

{"name":"DendronError","status":"unknown","payload":"No Engine: <path>/Dendron/cim-dendron"}

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Add a remote vault from existing dendron workspace
Convert the vault to self-contained

Expected behavior

I would expect dendron to work with that vault, like it does with the other not-self contained.

I can confirm that this works as expected in Dendron v.0.112.0. Thank you so much!

Hey @ccamara this PR is merged and will release in the upcoming release i.e. V0.112

No, I’m afraid the problem persists 😦

I can confirm that if I migrate an existing vault into a self-contained vault, dendron breaks.

Steps:

Open a workspace with several vaults
Migrate local vault to self-contained (Dendron: Migrate to self contained vault)

Multiple errors: On Dendron’s tab:

On graph note, I get the following error: {“name”:“DendronError”,“status”:“unknown”,“payload”:“No Engine: /Users/carloscamara/Documents/Dendron/cim-dendron”}
Tree view is empty
Lookup won’t find anything on the new vault

Ok, tested:

In dendron.yml, added

dev:
    enableSelfContainedVaults: true

Created a local vault from scratch
folder is created under <workspace>/dependencies/localhost/<my-new-vault>
The local vault is a self-contained vault (no migration)
The local vault just works

I assume that was all and everything is working as expected?

got it. This should be the error with Dendron: Migrate to self contained vault command. Let me update the bug title.

Harshita-mindfire on Aug 30, 2022

Sure!

I tested something simpler:

Open my dendron workspace
Create a new local vault: Dendron: Vault Add\Local
Generate a new vault
Create a new note
The vault is added properly and works well
Migrate the vault created in 2: Dendron: Migrate to self contained vault

Multiple errors: On Dendron’s tab:

On graph note, I get the following error: {"name":"DendronError","status":"unknown","payload":"No Engine: /Users/carloscamara/Documents/Dendron/cim-dendron"}
Tree view is empty
Lookup won’t find anything on the new vault
