🦟🔍 Bug Investigation
🤔 Why doesn’t my embedded Excalidraw get converted to svg when I publish this note?
👀 Observations
- there is an image element embedded in the page, but it doesn’t render
- when I view the image at its url directly, I see the following error and a blank page
This page contains the following errors:
error on line 1 at column 1: Start tag expected, '<' not found
Below is a rendering of the page up to the first error.
- I sometimes see the following error in an obsidian popup after publishing this note:
❌ Errors
📤 Cannot be published
🗒️Drawing 2024-12-12 17.20.04.excalidraw.md
- I also see this error popup when publishing this note:
ReferenceError: Buffer is not defined - I’ve pulled the corresponding log line out of my logstravaganza plugin log file (chat gpt cleaned it up)

} 🧑🔬 Attempts
- I’ve updated my GitHub publisher (now Enveloppe) Obsidian plugin to the latest version
- I’ve updated my Obsidian Excalidraw Plugin to the latest version
- I’ve tried toggling a bunch of settings in my Envelope plugin related to links and conversions
- I’ve looked through Enveloppe’s GitHub issue tracker for similar problems
- This issue looks close, but not quite the same
🤔 Hypotheses
- The Excalidraw file is being sent over as markdown instead of directly being converted to svg
- Maybe that Buffer not defined error comes up while trying to convert the file to svg
- If so, the JavaScript runtime used by my mobile obsidian app may differ from the developer’s test environment. But I’m already on the latest version of Obsidian.
📎 Workaround
- In the meantime, I’ve exported the excalidraw to svg and embedded that directly.
- This gives the same end result, but requires a suboptimal workflow: re-export the file on every change, delete the old one, and rename the new export.
- ooh, looks like a better workaround may exist
