Summary

A macro user-script command named Script::Export lost the script's settings:

  • Gear: CommandList.svelte read .settings off the drilled export (a bare function), so the settings modal was empty and a secret such as the Todoist API token couldn't be entered.
  • Execution: executeUserScript saw no definition, so defaults (e.g. a checkbox's defaultValue: true) were never initialized and legacy plaintext secrets were never migrated. Secret refs already stored in command.settings still resolved, so behaviour was inconsistent.

{{MACRO:Name::Export}} (SingleMacroEngine) already read settings from the full module; this makes the macro-command path match.

Fix

  • loadUserScript(command, app) (new, in src/utils/userScript.ts) returns { script, settings }: script is still the ::-drilled value (what runs), and settings is the definition from the nearest value along the drill path that exports a settings object — normally module.exports. The nearest-first rule keeps any existing Script::group command whose group object has its own settings working as before.
  • getUserScript is now a thin wrapper returning .script, so its other callers (SingleMacroEngine, conditional scripts) are unchanged.
  • The gear (configureScript), executeUserScript, and the requirement collector use loadUserScript. The preload cache (preloadedUserScripts) now stores LoadedUserScript instead of the bare drilled export, so a preloaded entry keeps its settings; the key stays member-aware.

Evidence

Reproduced on master in real Obsidian 1.13.7 (orb e2e runner, throwaway vault)

Vault contents: scripts/todoistTaskSync.js = docs/public/scripts/TodoistScript.js verbatim; scripts/todoistProbe.js = the same file with GetAllTasksFromProject overridden to console.log which settings it received (no Todoist API calls). Macro commands: todoistTaskSync::GetAllTasksFromProject and todoistProbe::GetAllTasksFromProject, both with settings: {}.

Gear on master: modal title only, settingItems: 0.

before: empty settings modal

Execution on master (obsidian:e2e -- quickadd:run choice="Todoist probe", then dev:console):

[todoist-probe] {"settingKeys":[],"tokenIsString":false,"tokenLength":null,"tokenMatchesFake":false}

The checkbox default never reaches the function. With a secret ref seeded directly into command.settings, the token did resolve ("settingKeys":["Todoist API token"]), which confirms the inconsistency.

After the fix

Gear on the real TodoistScript command: settingItems: 2, both fields shown.

after: Todoist API token and checkbox shown

Then, driving the real modal: typed a fake token into the probe command's Todoist API token field and clicked Save. The stored setting is a secret ref (tokenIsSecretRef: true), and the fake token string does not appear in data.json. Running the probe:

[todoist-probe] {"settingKeys":["Complete imported tasks in Todoist","Todoist API token"],"tokenIsString":true,"tokenLength":23,"tokenMatchesFake":true,"completeTasks":true}

dev:errors: No errors captured.

Tests

  • New src/engine/userScriptExecution.test.ts runs the real loader on a TodoistScript-shaped module with todoistTaskSync::GetAllTasksFromProject. It checks that defaults are initialized, that a stored secret resolves while a user-changed checkbox is kept, and that a legacy plaintext secret is migrated. 2 of the 3 fail on master (expected [ {} ] to deeply equal [ { …(1) } ]; expected 'legacy-token' to match object { __quickaddSecret: true }) and all pass here.
  • src/utilityObsidian.test.ts: loadUserScript picks settings from the root for a drilled function, prefers nested settings along the path, supports settings on a function export, and ignores non-object settings.
  • New e2e case in tests/e2e/macro-member-access.test.ts: a member-settings-script::Export macro writes the settings it receives to a note. On a master bundle it times out (the note only ever has {}); with the fix it gets {"Complete tasks":true,"Label":"from-default"}.
  • pnpm run build-with-lint: clean. pnpm exec vitest run: 452 files, 5849 passed. Full e2e suite on the orb: 28 files passed, 211 tests passed, 12 skipped, 0 failed.

Docs

  • Capture_FetchTasksFromTodoist.md: step 2 now allows either todoistTaskSync or todoistTaskSync::GetAllTasksFromProject. The troubleshooting advice to remove ::SomeExport is replaced with a note that settings are saved per command.
  • scriptsWithSettings.md: new "Scripts with several exports" section.
  • UserScripts.md: the settings object section notes that :: exports receive settings too.

Release / migration impact

No migration. Behaviour changes only for Script::Export macro commands whose export has no settings of its own. They now get the module's defaults on the next run, and legacy plaintext secrets are moved into SecretStorage, just as they already are for plain Script commands. Settings stay per command (the secret id is derived from the command id), so a macro with both Script and Script::Export commands keeps separate values for each.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Scripts selected through a specific export can now receive settings from that export or the nearest parent, including defaults defined at the module level.
    • Settings are saved separately for each macro command, even when multiple commands use the same script.
  • Documentation
    • Updated script and Todoist setup guidance to explain selecting exports, how settings are resolved, and configuring settings for the command that runs.

Note

Fix Script::Export user-script commands to read settings from the module

Adds loadUserScript in userScript.ts, which returns both the ::-selected export and the nearest valid settings definition along the drill path. The old getUserScript remains as a compatibility wrapper that returns only the selected script.

  • userScriptExecution.ts now initializes defaults and resolves secrets from that settings definition, instead of reading settings off the drilled export directly. The settings gear in CommandList.svelte opens the same resolved definition.
  • Preflight (collectChoiceRequirements.ts) and ChoiceExecutor preloaded-script state now cache the structured LoadedUserScript value so settings travel with the drilled export into execution.
  • Adds regression, utility, engine, and end-to-end tests covering module-root settings, nested export settings, secret resolution and migration, plus docs updates.
  • Risk: the preloaded user-script map type changes to LoadedUserScript; any consumer outside the in-tree callers of getUserScript/preloaded state that assumed raw script values or settings on the export itself must be checked.

Macroscope summarized 2694214.

…mands

A macro command named `Script::Export` drilled into the export before
reading `settings`, so the gear opened an empty modal and execution never
initialized defaults or migrated secrets. loadUserScript now returns the
drilled export plus the settings definition from the nearest value on the
drill path (normally module.exports); the gear, execution, and preload
cache all use it.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The script loader now returns a selected export with its nearest settings definition. Preflight, execution, and command configuration use the loaded result. Tests and documentation cover settings for exports selected with ::.

Changes

Script settings for selected exports

Layer / File(s) Summary
Load selected exports with settings
src/utils/userScript.ts, src/utilityObsidian.ts, src/utilityObsidian.test.ts
The loader returns a selected export and the nearest settings object along its member path. Tests cover module-level, nested, and function-export settings, and ignore non-object settings.
Cache loaded exports during preflight
src/preflight/collectChoiceRequirements.ts, src/preflight/collectChoiceRequirements.test.ts, src/preflight/*test.ts
Preflight caches loaded exports with their settings definitions and extracts requirements from the selected export. Tests and mocks use the loaded-value shape.
Use loaded settings in command execution
src/engine/userScriptExecution.ts, src/engine/userScriptExecution.test.ts, src/engine/MacroChoiceEngine.ts, src/engine/MacroChoiceEngine.entry.test.ts, src/gui/MacroGUIs/CommandList.svelte, src/IChoiceExecutor.ts, src/choiceExecutor.ts, src/choiceExecutor.preload.test.ts, src/engine/*test.ts, tests/e2e/macro-member-access.test.ts, docs/src/content/docs/docs/Advanced/scriptsWithSettings.md, docs/src/content/docs/docs/Examples/Capture_FetchTasksFromTodoist.md, docs/src/content/docs/docs/UserScripts.md
Execution and command configuration use the loaded export and settings definition. Preloaded-script maps use LoadedUserScript. Tests cover defaults, stored and migrated secrets, and end-to-end settings delivery to a selected export. Documentation describes settings access for selected exports.

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 26942

Selected exports receive their settings across the changed paths. No issue requiring a fix before merge was identified.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to cdecb

The reviewed paths preserve the existing script-execution boundary and make exported commands use their associated settings. No introduced security issue was established, but compatibility and production exposure are not fully evidenced.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The changed settings behavior applies to configured member-access commands and their associated command settings. The reviewed cache key distinguishes members of the same script; broader production usage was not established.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — Loading a vault user script executes its module body with a require capability before member selection. This behavior predates the settings change; it is not a newly established execution boundary.
  • observed — Secret references are resolved before invocation; an unavailable referenced secret raises an error rather than supplying a missing value to the script.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — Member-aware, one-use preloading limits reuse of a previously evaluated module across exports or later runs; it does not establish exactly-once evaluation for concurrent independent executions.
