Obsidian QuickAdd Not Running? Heres How to Fix It Fast!

Alright, folks, gather around, let me tell you about the little adventure I had with Obsidian and its QuickAdd plugin today. So, picture this: I’m all set to streamline my note-taking process, right? I’ve heard wonders about QuickAdd, how it’s supposed to make adding stuff to your notes a breeze. I mean by default it’s just a simple plugin to add text to a note, nothing fancy with it.

I installed it, all excited, thinking I’m about to enter a world of seamless information capture. But boy, was I in for a surprise.

First off, I tried running a simple command to add a task to my daily note. I hit the shortcut, typed out my task, and… nothing. Absolutely nothing happened. No error message, no new task in my note, just a deafening silence from Obsidian. I’m running the latest version, Obsidian 1.1.16, and QuickAdd 0.11.10, so it should be all good, right?

I thought, “Okay, maybe I messed up the setup.” So, I double-checked everything. The command was set up correctly, the file path was accurate, and yet, QuickAdd refused to do its job. It’s like it decided to take an unexpected vacation day.

Next, I tried a different approach. I went for a more complex script, thinking maybe the simple ones were too simple for it. I was wrong. This time, I got an error message: “Failed to run user script.” Great, at least it’s talking to me now, but that didn’t really solve anything. I needed to fill it manually and that’s not what I wanted.

And some of you might say it’s because QuickAdd is just a plugin to add text to a note, so I shouldn’t expect it to do more. But here’s the thing, even that basic function wasn’t working. I saw some folks online mentioning a known bug, or maybe some conflict with spaces, or even conflict with other plugins, so I started tinkering. I also tried the full power of Javascript and Obsidian functions, but still nothing.

I disabled a bunch of plugins, restarted Obsidian a couple of times, and even sacrificed a rubber chicken to the tech gods (just kidding, but I was getting desperate). Still, QuickAdd remained stubbornly inactive. It’s like trying to wake up a teenager on a Saturday morning – impossible.

At one point, I stumbled upon an error message that said, “QuickAdd: (ERROR) unable to find insert after line in file.” I checked if it’s related to spaces, but it wasn’t. So, I spent a good chunk of my day just trying to figure out what line it was referring to. I even tried to reproduce the error, but I could only get so far.

So, here I am, with my grand plans of a streamlined workflow slightly derailed. QuickAdd, the tool that was supposed to make my life easier, ended up giving me a minor headache. It is just like I’m trying to use this plugin, but I ended up spending more time troubleshooting than actually using it.

But hey, that’s the beauty of these tech adventures, right? You learn something new every day, even if it’s just that sometimes, the simplest tools can be the most frustrating. I am still figuring out how to best use this plugin. Maybe it’s just a simple workflow thing, adding something to my daily note. If any of you have faced a similar issue or have any tips, feel free to share. In the meantime, I’ll keep tinkering and hoping for a breakthrough.
