"File already exists" error when creating new notes with obsidian.nvim

[RobberFox]

When I create a new note (either from a link, or with :ObsidianNew, etc.) next things happen:

• Obsidian switches from reading mode to edit mode.
• The file is empty inside of Obsidian, while in nvim it has the obsidian.nvim's header alias
• I can't save the file without overriding

Here is a minimal working plugin

local lazypath = vim.fn.stdpath("data") .. "/lazy/lazy.nvim"
if not (vim.uv or vim.loop).fs_stat(lazypath) then
	local lazyrepo = "https://github.com/folke/lazy.nvim.git"
	local out = vim.fn.system({ "git", "clone", "--filter=blob:none", "--branch=stable", lazyrepo, lazypath })
	if vim.v.shell_error ~= 0 then
		vim.api.nvim_echo({
			{ "Failed to clone lazy.nvim:\n", "ErrorMsg" },
			{ out, "WarningMsg" },
			{ "\nPress any key to exit..." },
		}, true, {})
		vim.fn.getchar()
		os.exit(1)
	end
end

vim.opt.rtp:prepend(lazypath)


require("lazy").setup({
	spec = {
		{
			"epwalsh/obsidian.nvim",
			version = "*",  -- recommended, use latest release instead of latest commit
			lazy = true,
			ft = "markdown",
			dependencies = {
				-- Required.
				"nvim-lua/plenary.nvim",
				"ibhagwan/fzf-lua",
				"nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter",
			},

			opts = require("custom.obsidian_opts"),
		},

		{
			"oflisback/obsidian-bridge.nvim",
			lazy = true,
			event = {
				"BufReadPre *.md",
				"BufNewFile *.md",
			},
			dependencies = {
				"nvim-lua/plenary.nvim",
				"nvim-telescope/telescope.nvim",
			},
			opts = {
				--	obsidian_server_address = "https://127.0.0.1:27124",
				--	cert_path = "~/.ssl/obsidian.crt",
			},
		}
	},
})

Try to write in some new link and do :ObsidianLink

Thanks for reporting and for the minimal config suggestion, I hope it doesn't matter because I'm not using the exact same config when I try this (I don't have custom.obsidian_opts). Maybe we can focus on one of the ways to reproduce the problem and see if we do the same thing. What I do is:

1. Inside a.md I give the command :ObsidianNew b.md.
2. A b document opens in obsidian, in neovim I get a warning: File "~/Documents/test/b.md" has been created after editing started.
3. I press L in neovim. An empty file b.md is opened in neovim, I can edit and save it and the change is reflected in Obsidian.

I've tried a few different variants of the scenario that behave in the same way but perhaps we can focus on that exact one first to see what's different when you do it. I'm using Obsidian 1.7.7.

First thing to try is probably to run obsidian.nvim without any custom options and see how that behaves.
