Indexing goes wrong

[kim-broot]

What happened?

When I set up the smart second brain, everything is fine initially. In fact its awesome, I love it! However, after restarting obsidian, it something fails. I was able to find out that the index is probably not able to be loaded, so it results in nullpointer exceptions. If I delete the index manually to simulate a fresh start, indexing time is not very high on my laptop (using nomic-embed-text with ollama) and it seems to work perfectly after that- as long as I keep the app open.

Error Statement

No response

Steps to Reproduce

1. Start Obsidian with the extension freshly enabled
2. Configure extension and allow it to index
3. Close obsidian
4. The extension is broken now

I experience the same issue

Me too, when this happens, the only way I've found to recover is:

• go to Smart 2nd Brain plugin settings
• Advanced Settings >> Clear Plugin Data >> Clear

Then restart plugin, it will re-index.

@zeigerpuppy Thanks for the workaround!
I feel like its a quite effortful workaround, considering one has to use it every time obsidian starts. Would be much cooler if the tool just stored its data properly, so it can actually re-use it, OR dont store the data at all and re-index every time.

Mine just won't index, I have no notes to index. It is connecting with my Ollama.

Mine is taking forever to index. Been running for more than 10 hours on a 1.5gb vault and keep saying it's got 20-40 hours more to go! Makes no sense.
