Hello,

Okay, this is odd. I am currently setting up a final private branch with all the dirty mods I require for my thesis-project instance; so that I can commit off the various working changes I have and start clean when doing this in a more proper way. Eventhough this is irrelevant as this branch will never leave the private clone, I am trying to adhere to the contribution guidelines outlined in thecontribution- anddeveloper-docs. All linters/checkers are ran with options outlined in the documentations I linked to.

I have 3 main changes I will be adding to my private clone:

• stripping headers (the thing I will be modularising once we can work on modules inmarkdownpage.py)
• utf16-handling (I need it, can't wait till we figure this out)
• some mods tocopy_vault_to_tempdir to exclude filepaths which contain more than 1 dot (.) (private issue, likely never to occur to others, but required for my thesis-instance. Will keep this in and potentially make a notice-issue on the bug itself to see whyexactly this happens)

The first one might be considerable a feature at some point, the secondperhaps, the third most likely not - but whatever.

Back on topic - so I do the mods, and then adhere to the dev-docs when committing:
The dev-docs on contribution-guidelines state that contributors should call the following steps:

1. runpylint obsidianhtml --errors-only --disable=E0602,E1126:

PS D:\Dokumente neu\Repositories\obsidian-html> pylint obsidianhtml --errors-only --disable=E0602,E1126************* Module obsidianhtml.controller.ConvertVaultobsidianhtml\controller\ConvertVault.py:93:34: E1101: Instance of 'PicknickBasket' has no 'verbosity' member (no-member)obsidianhtml\controller\ConvertVault.py:96:31: E1136: Value 'pb.paths' is unsubscriptable (unsubscriptable-object)obsidianhtml\controller\ConvertVault.py:98:33: E1136: Value 'pb.paths' is unsubscriptable (unsubscriptable-object)************* Module obsidianhtml.core.PicknickBasketobsidianhtml\core\PicknickBasket.py:67:61: E1136: Value 'self.paths' is unsubscriptable (unsubscriptable-object)************* Module obsidianhtml.features.EmbeddedSearchobsidianhtml\features\EmbeddedSearch.py:119:12: E1101: Module 'whoosh.fields' has no 'query' member (no-member)************* Module obsidianhtml.modules.builtin.setup_moduleobsidianhtml\modules\builtin\setup_module.py:108:45: E1120: No valuefor argument 'module_binary'in functioncall (no-value-for-parameter)obsidianhtml\modules\builtin\setup_module.py:108:45: E1120: No valuefor argument 'module_run_method'in functioncall (no-value-for-parameter)

Note that none of the issues pylint flags here are due to modifications I made on my fork

2. I don't runruff check obsidianhtml because the issue-list is.... humongous (1036 issues)
3. runblack obsidianhtml pre-commit

Pylint does its job, and doesn't seem to modify much of anything beyond what I did. Stuff I didn't touch doesn't seem to get altered.
Black on the other hand does a whole lot of shit to files I did not work on. I'll be including images here cuz I don't feel like attempting to write a diff-view here. Examples:

As you can see, we have a couple things that change:

• spaces before/after assignation-=
• newlines at fileend
• replace' with" for quotes
• trimming double-linebreaks to single-linebreaks
• maybe more I am not seeing

So my questions are:

1. Was upkeep just left out recently?
2. Or are there platform-specific indirect changes I am not aware of that makes my instance throw these issues - even in files I never touched beyond a breakpoint?
3. Or am I just reading the docs incorrectly/are they outdated?
4. What procedures should be used when committing with the intention to later merge back to the official repo? In a private instance one can be less strict with adhering to standards, but that obviously doesn't help if you intend on contributing this toupstream.

Thank you.
Sincerely,
~Gw
