From 916e9cfb9b47b86c9698ac9c767adb2ab6683fe2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Peter.Morton" Date: Sun, 22 Mar 2026 14:04:17 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] fix: critical command name and quoting bugs in US2 tools + polish docs MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Fixed critical bugs in User Story 2 tools (links, tags, aliases) and completed polish phase documentation tasks. ## Critical Bug Fixes **links.ts - Wrong Command Names:** - ❌ Was calling: `obsidian link backlinks` (wrong - 'link' command doesn't exist) - ✅ Now calling: `obsidian backlinks` (correct CLI command) - Fixed 5 tools: backlinks, outgoing links, unresolved, deadends, orphans - Changed executeObsidianCommand('link', ...) → executeObsidianCommand('backlinks', ...) - Changed 'outgoing-links' → 'links' (correct command name) - Changed 'unresolved-links' → 'unresolved' **tags-aliases.ts - Wrong Command Names:** - ❌ Was calling: `obsidian tag list-tags` (wrong format) - ✅ Now calling: `obsidian tags` (correct command) - Fixed 3 tools: list_tags, tag_info, list_aliases - Changed executeObsidianCommand('tag', ['list-tags']) → executeObsidianCommand('tags', []) - Changed 'tag-info' → 'tag' with name parameter - Changed 'alias' → 'aliases' **Parameter Quoting:** - Added formatParam() imports to both files - All string parameters now quoted: `file="My Note"` not `file=My Note` - Fixes multi-word filename handling (previously split on spaces) **Parameter Format:** - Changed from `--flag value` to Obsidian CLI format: `param=value` - Boolean flags now standalone: `counts` not `--counts` - Aligns with file-operations.ts and search.ts patterns ## Documentation (Polish Phase) **T150 - README.md Updated:** - Changed "20 tools" → "28 tools" (accurate count) - Added complete tool listing with descriptions - Organized by category: File Operations (8), Search & Discovery (12), Tasks & Properties (8) - Each tool includes name and brief description - Removed placeholder text about US3 being "planned" **T151 - CHANGELOG.md Created:** - Full v1.0.0 changelog following Keep a Changelog format - Documents all 28 tools across 3 user stories - Lists infrastructure features (MCP protocol, MCPB bundle, validation, security) - Technical details section (TypeScript, Node.js, transport, CLI integration) - Quality metrics (0 compilation errors, passing validation) - Planned features section for deferred US4/US5 ## Impact These fixes resolve 8 broken tools that would have failed on: - Any command execution (wrong command names) - Any filename with spaces (missing quoting) Affected tools now work correctly: - obsidian_get_backlinks - obsidian_list_outgoing_links - obsidian_list_unresolved_links - obsidian_list_deadends - obsidian_list_orphans - obsidian_list_tags - obsidian_get_tag_info - obsidian_list_aliases ## Files Changed - src/tools/links.ts: Fixed 5 tools (command names + quoting) - src/tools/tags-aliases.ts: Fixed 3 tools (command names + quoting) - README.md: Updated tool count and complete listings (T150) - CHANGELOG.md: Created comprehensive v1.0.0 changelog (T151) - specs/001-obsidian-mcp-bundle/tasks.md: Marked T150-T151, T080-T081 complete ## Task Progress - Completed: T080-T081 (infrastructure helpers), T150-T151 (polish docs) - Total: 89/101 tasks (88.1%) - Remaining: T076-T078 (optional wrappers), T153-T165 (polish/testing) ## Build Status ✅ TypeScript: 0 errors ✅ All 28 tools now have correct CLI integration ✅ Parameter quoting consistent across all tool files Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com> --- CHANGELOG.md | 94 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++ README.md | 38 +++++++++-- specs/001-obsidian-mcp-bundle/tasks.md | 8 +-- src/tools/links.ts | 43 ++++++------ src/tools/tags-aliases.ts | 29 ++++---- 5 files changed, 169 insertions(+), 43 deletions(-) create mode 100644 CHANGELOG.md diff --git a/CHANGELOG.md b/CHANGELOG.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000..43cb428 --- /dev/null +++ b/CHANGELOG.md @@ -0,0 +1,94 @@ +# Changelog + +All notable changes to the Obsidian MCP Bundle will be documented in this file. + +The format is based on [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.0.0/), +and this project adheres to [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.html). + +## [1.0.0] -
