I can see the issue! The problem is in the create_lines_from_existing function at line 431. Let me trace through what’s happening:
Searched for regex echo\s*= (**/src/obsidian_tools/universal/constants.py), 1 result
Now I can see the exact bug! Looking at line 431 in control.py:
concept_name=echoes.split(f'|{constants.echo}]]')[0].strip('(echo:: @ [['),The problem is using .strip() instead of .removeprefix(). The .strip() method removes any of those characters from both ends of the string, not the exact prefix.
So when your concept_name is echo:
- The echoes line is:
(echo:: @ [[echo|ᯤ]]) - After split:
'(echo:: @ [[echo' .strip('(echo:: @ [[')removes all occurrences of the characters(,e,c,h,o,:,@,[from both ends- Since “echo” is made entirely of characters
e,c,h,othat are in the strip set, it strips away the entire word, leaving a blank string!
The fix: Replace .strip() with .removeprefix() on line 431:
concept_name=echoes.split(f'|{constants.echo}]]')[0].removeprefix('(echo:: @ [['),This will remove only the exact prefix '(echo:: @ [[' from the beginning of the string, leaving 'echo' intact.
