My dataview JS query creating a fileLink to a daily note stopped working.

[ttl-03]

Any idea why this dataview JS query stoped working, and how to fix it?

$= dv.fileLink(dv.pages("#dailynote").where(b => b.file.name == luxon.DateTime.now().toISODate()).file.path, false, "Today")

It was working fine last week or so, though when the file didn't exist the text (link) showed as "| Today" instead of as "Today".
Now nothing is returned, not even a warning for empty results (I'm not sure if that is normal for JS queries).

Edit: I also don't think it has to do with luxon because I can't seem to get it workng with a string literal as the filename, that is in the equality, if I just hand in the string to dv.fileLink that works

Well I did solve it by adding .toString(), but can anyone enlighten me as to why this fixed it? What was the change that broke the query when it didn't need this typecast before? Should there have been some kind of error thrown?

$= dv.fileLink(dv.pages("#dailynote").where(b => b.file.name == luxon.DateTime.now().toISODate()).file.path.toString(), false, "Today")

Also when the file doesn't exist now the fileLink text is as it should be. But the link is to a file named "[]".
Is there any way to force the link to be what was given, so that the file is created when you click it?

My solution: $= dv.fileLink("Daily Notes/" + luxon.DateTime.now().toISODate(), false, "Today")

I have the same setup, but somehow since a few days I get "ReferenceError: luxon is not defined"
I'm having the issue on two PC's and only since a few days. This is the only place I mention Luxon... Any tips?

@pastorjack @ThurMeijer I'm getting the same, is luxon no longer available to use?

This behavior should not have broken, though your query looks a little wierd since it is passing an array to a functino which takes just a single string. Maybe

$= dv.fileLink(dv.pages("#dailynote").where(b => b.file.name == luxon.DateTime.now().toISODate()).file.path.first(), false, "Today")

You know what, I was approaching this wrong given that all my daily notes are in one file location.
Your suggestion to use first() highlighted this issue. There will be a uniquely named file.

$= dv.fileLink("Daily Notes/" + luxon.DateTime.now().toISODate(), false, "Today")

Using first is not what I needed, because if the file didn't exist the query didn't render anything.

I was doing something very similar to this, but now it is broken. I get an error "ReferenceError: luxon is not defined"
