New Error About Leading Trailing Whitespace

[NuclearPowerNerd]

Hello,

I've had a lot of great success using Dendron as my personal note taking tool. I have just come across my first error though and I do not know how to diagnose it. I noticed today one of my notes will now no longer open if I use my usual method which is pressing ctrl+L in VSCode, using tab to navigate my note hierarchy, then hitting enter when I find the one I want to open. On this particular note I get this error that I've never seen before nor know how to fix (I've opened this note successfully the in the past, as recently as August 1st).

Hierarchies cannot have leading / trailing whitespace or be empty.

The full note path is Fluids.Navier Stokes. Two Dimensional

I can open the note if I manually find it in the vault and then preview it or if I navigate to it in the graph panel. But as I said my usual method is not working.

Is the error occurring because of the blank space in front of Two? That'd be weird because as I said I have successfully opened this note in the past and not had this error and I've not changed the name. If I try to change the name using the Dendron: Rename Note command I get the same error as above.

I would appreciate any advice on how to resolve this.

Yes, this is because of the leading whitespace in front of Two. This validation has been introduced recently.

For the time being, you can manually rename the note (with the regular rename that VSCode provides) so that it becomes Fluids.Navier Stokes.Two Dimensional.md and lookup will work again.

We'll add a way to automatically fix invalid filenames so that this doesn't happen again.
Sorry about the inconvenience.

Thanks for the quick reply! 👍

@NuclearPowerNerd A fix has been pushed with version 0.110.0. Now you will be able to look up existing notes even if they have invalid file names.
