The install script ran npm install --production, which skips devDependencies.
Since typescript, esbuild, and other build tools live in devDependencies,
npm run build would fail with 'tsc: command not found'.
Switched to plain npm install so all dependencies are available at build
time. Only the necessary runtime dep (chromadb) is copied to the plugin
folder — obsidian stays out since it's a type stub.
The root cause: Obsidian's plugin loader expects main.js at the plugin root
alongside manifest.json. The previous 'dist/' output + shim approach caused
'Cannot find module ./dist/main.js' because dist/ was either missing or not
resolved correctly in Obsidian's module loader.
Changes:
- build: use esbuild to bundle all source into a single main.js (61KB)
tsc --noEmit for type checking; esbuild for the actual bundle
- main.js: no longer a shim — it's the fully bundled plugin
- package.json: added esbuild as devDependency; obsidian moved to devDeps
- install.sh: remove dist/ copy step, add cleanup of old dist/ from vault
- README.md: updated manual install steps to reflect bundling
- package.json: move obsidian from dependencies to devDependencies
(it is a type stub — having it in dependencies risks shadowing
Obsidian's built-in API if node_modules is present in the plugin folder)
- main.js: explicitly extract default export from dist/main.js so the
shim works with both plugin.default and direct-export loader patterns
Obsidian's plugin loader expects main.js at the plugin root alongside
manifest.json — it does not resolve subdirectory paths in the 'main'
field. Added a thin CommonJS shim that re-exports from dist/main.js.
- main.js: new entry shim (module.exports = require('./dist/main.js'))
- manifest.json: 'main' changed from 'dist/main.js' to 'main.js'
- install.sh: copy main.js shim to plugin folder, verify its presence
- README.md: add main.js to manual install instructions
- manifest.json: fix 'main' from 'src/main.js' to 'dist/main.js'
(TypeScript compiles to dist/, not src/ — Obsidian could not find the entry point)
- manifest.json: set isDesktopOnly to true (plugin requires a local Ollama server)
- package.json: remove unused node-fetch dependency (ESM-only, conflicts with CommonJS build)
- src/semantic-cache.ts: use dynamic import for chromadb instead of top-level import
(prevents plugin load crash when chromadb is not installed; cache defaults to disabled)
- install.sh: new script that installs deps, builds, and copies the plugin into a vault
- README.md: add quick install, manual install, and expanded troubleshooting sections
Update the plugin entrypoint and TypeScript output directory to use dist instead of writing generated JavaScript into src.
Remove previously checked-in compiled source files and add coverage for the Ollama client and tool executor.
Introduce ConversationStateManager to handle short, medium, and long-term
context for improved conversation flow. Update ChatView to use this manager
and refactor input handling to accept values directly for better testability.
Update OllamaClient with non-streaming chat support and improved error
handling for malformed chunks. Enhance vault indexer with caching, better
scoring, and stop word filtering. Refactor main plugin entry point and
semantic cache initialization for robustness.
Standardize error message extraction to handle non-Error objects.
Add explicit return types and interface definitions to VaultIndexer.
Update SemanticCacheService to use any types where necessary.
Rename SemanticCache to SemanticCacheService and adjust imports.
Implement semantic caching for Ollama chat responses using ChromaDB to store and retrieve embeddings. The cache can be
enabled/disabled in settings and includes configurable similarity threshold, embedding model, and ChromaDB URL. Added
cache clear functionality and error handling for cache operations.
Update chromaUrl to chromaURL throughout the codebase to ensure consistent naming convention for the Chroma database URL
configuration parameter. This change affects the semantic cache service implementation and related tests.
The change updates the configuration property name from `chromaUrl` to `chromaURL` in:
- SemanticCacheService class
- Test files (chat-view.test.ts, ollama-client-cache.test.ts, semantic-cache.test.ts)
This maintains consistency with other URL configuration parameters in the codebase and improves code readability.
This commit adds semantic caching functionality to speed up repeated queries and implements a complete indexing pipeline
for processing vault files. The changes include:
- Added semantic cache service using ChromaDB for storing and retrieving cached responses
- Implemented indexing pipeline with extraction, normalization, and vectorization steps
- Added cache configuration settings to the plugin
- Updated Ollama client to support cache integration
- Added tests for all new indexing components
- Extended vault indexer with indexing pipeline support
Add `cancelStream` method to allow aborting active requests. Store the current `AbortController` on the client instance
and reset it when the stream completes or is cancelled. Update `ChatView` to call `cancelStream` on close.
Add comprehensive tests for stream cancellation scenarios, including aborting active requests, handling cancellation
when no stream is active, clearing the controller after normal completion, and allowing new streams after cancellation.
Simplify message construction and update logic in chat-view.js
Add abort controller support and improve error handling in ollama-client.js
Remove unused sanitizeFilePath function from utils.js
Export LogLevel enum in utils.js
Improve vault indexing to process all batches
Increase test coverage across multiple modules (91.2% statements, 82.85% branches, 82.35% functions, 93.1% lines)
Update abort controller handling in OllamaClient to properly clean up previous controllers
Remove unused imports and constants: MODEL_NAME_REGEX, MouseEvent, DEFAULT_SETTINGS, convertMarkdownToHtml
Refactor event handler naming to be more consistent
```
Add MAX_STREAM_CHUNKS constant and update message handling to mark streaming as complete even without tool results.
Improve model name validation to support colons and add comprehensive test suite. Refactor VaultIndexer to simplify
constructor and remove unused methods. Fix path normalization in tool executor and remove unused safeWriteFile export.
Update error handling to remove redundant console suppressions.
Update ESLint rules to disable console logging in utils and error-handler
Remove unused function and type in vault-indexer
```
```
Remove unused safeWriteFile function in utils
Remove unused isVaultLike type in vault-indexer
```
Improve path validation to detect parent directory traversal
Refactor VaultIndexer to use VaultLike interface
Enhance heading matching to support 1-6 level headings
Improve token stemming with length-based checks
Optimize context building for user messages
