This looks like a PDF.js version mismatch introduced in the nightly build. The error shows the API is at v5.4.624 while the viewer is at v5.5.207.

The cause is likely related to two recent PRs that updated pdfjs-dist:

• PR #8582 updated to v5.4.624 (Feb 19)
• PR #8874 updated to v5.5.207 (Mar 14)

Trilium uses a two-step process to update PDF.js components - the viewer files and core API files are updated separately. It appears the nightly build has viewer.mjs from v5.5.207 but the API files are still at v5.4.624.

Workaround: Try clearing your browser cache completely, or wait for the next nightly build which should resolve the mismatch.

To reply, just mention @dosu.

Indeed, it's a cache issue that I've noticed too. I'd have to see how to truly fix it, but a refresh without cache should unblock you temporarily.

But this happens in the native client, not in the browser. Is there any caching?

@eliandoran strange, I encountered the above error on my notebook, but on my PC, with the same Trilium nightly build, I cannot see this error.

Oh yes, and the caching is slightly more annoying in the desktop client. You can try Ctrl+Shift+R to refresh without cache. If not, you have to go through the dev tools to bypass the cache (or delete the cache dir in %appdata%).

I had this issue as well, probably what matters here is which versions were run previously (stable, previous nightlies, etc.).
