ObjectNotFound: (dly.exe:String) [], CommandNotFoundException on PowerShell for Windows 11

[thinkh]

Thanks for making this nifty command line tool open source. I would like to test it and integrate into my workflow. Unfortunately, it does not start for me on Windows 11. Could you please take a look?

Steps to reproduce

1. Download .exe version 1.2 to Downloads directory
2. Run it once
3. Edit config file and set the correct path to journal folder

    DailyNotesPath: "C:\Users\UsErNaMe\My Tresors\logseq\journals"
    FilenameFormat: "2006_01_02"
    AddTimestamp: true
    AppendHashtag: from-cli

4. Open PowerShell navigate to Downloads directory
5. Run dly.exe test

Observed behavior

PS C:\Users\UsErNaMe\Downloads> dly.exe test
dly.exe : Die Benennung "dly.exe" wurde nicht als Name eines Cmdlet, einer Funktion, einer Skriptdatei oder eines
ausführbaren Programms erkannt. Überprüfen Sie die Schreibweise des Namens, oder ob der Pfad korrekt ist (sofern
enthalten), und wiederholen Sie den Vorgang.
In Zeile:1 Zeichen:1
+ dly.exe test
+ ~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : ObjectNotFound: (dly.exe:String) [], CommandNotFoundException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : CommandNotFoundException


Suggestion [3,General]: Der Befehl dly.exe wurde nicht gefunden. Er ist jedoch am aktuellen Ort vorhanden. Windows PowerShell lädt Befehle nicht standardmäßig vom aktuellen Ort. Wenn Sie diesem Befehl vertrauen, geben Sie stattdessen ".\dly.exe" ein. Weitere Informationen erhalten Sie unter "get-help about_Command_Precedence".

Expected behavior

The text should be appended to the journal file.

PS C:\Users\UsErNaMe\Downloads> dly.exe test
dly.exe : Die Benennung "dly.exe" wurde nicht als Name eines Cmdlet, einer Funktion, einer Skriptdatei oder eines
ausführbaren Programms erkannt. `

My German is limited to say the least, but I guess this means that dly.exe was not found.

Can you try

• PS C:\Users\UsErNaMe\Downloads> ./dly.exe test (note the absolute path for dly.exe when you are in the directory C:\Users\UsErNaMe\Downloads)
• cd /, then C:\Users\UsErNaMe\Downloads\dly.exe test

Both should work.

Sorry, for the German language strings. No, that doesn't work for me unfortunately.

PS C:\Users\My Username\Downloads> .\dly.exe test
2023-01-20T15:53:05+01:00 FATAL cannot unmarshal config file at C:\Users\My Username\.config\dly\dly.yml: yaml: did not find expected hexdecimal number

Because my username has a space in the middle, I needed to wrap it in quotes, but it also doesn't work:

PS C:\> "C:\Users\My Username\Downloads\dly.exe" test
In Zeile:1 Zeichen:43
+ "C:\Users\My Username\Downloads\dly.exe" test
+                                           ~~~~

    + CategoryInfo          : ParserError: (:) [], ParentContainsErrorRecordException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : UnexpectedToken

Does your windows profile/username contain spaces?

Ah, I see. No, my username does not contain spaces and I will look at your problem closely by simulating a path with spaces. I am sure there will be a solution :)

I just tried with a path with whitespaces and I cannot reproduce your problem (below are attempts with a full path and a local one, with and without argument). Can you try that format?
