TypeError: Cannot read properties of null (reading 'path') at deduplicateNewName

[luckman212]

I notice sometimes that instead of renaming pasted attachments, I get a TypeError. This happens when pasting immediately after editing the note content. Not sure what is causing it.

• Obsidian 1.6.7
• macOS 14.5
• Plugin ver 0.9.13

Yes, I think this is fixed in 0.9.14
Thank you @trganda and @Xheng222 🚀

@trganda I am so sorry but, for me this bug is still happening sometimes! Even after updating to 0.9.14. I don't know if it's an Obsidian bug or problem of the plugin.

Hi @luckman212, looks like the this.app.vault.getAbstractFileByPath(attachPath) return a null object.

I'm not sure why this happen in your case. If you encounter this error again, please check whether the attachPath has been success created in your vault and provide me with your plugin configuration file.

Ok trganda, I will try to debug a little closer and keep an eye. I think this is a timing issue, maybe a bug in Obsidian where the Vault cache is not yet updated when the plugin tries to change the text content.
