Description

The Shell Path Copy plugin makes it easier to copy file and folder paths in formats that match your target system, whether you're working on Windows, macOS, Linux, or even a mobile device connected to a remote server. It integrates directly into the right-click menu and command palette, offering relative paths, absolute paths, and file:// URLs, all formatted appropriately for the platform. You can configure which options appear, choose how paths are wrapped to handle spaces, and get visual confirmation when a path is copied. This helps avoid manual edits when pasting into terminals, scripts, or AI assistants like Claude Code or Gemini CLI.

Changelog

Fixed

  • Absolute path copy now works on Windows (#7) — replaced internal Obsidian API (getFullRealPath) unavailable on Windows with the public FileSystemAdapter.getBasePath() + path.join()
  • Windows file:// URLs no longer encode the drive letter colon — C: was incorrectly encoded as C%3A, producing invalid URLs

Removed

  • Dropped unreliable file-explorer DOM querying for command palette file detection — relied on internal Obsidian CSS class names that could silently break on Obsidian updates. Command palette commands now require an open file; a clear notice is shown if none is open.

Technical

  • Extracted path-formatting logic into pure functions (path-utils.ts) with no Obsidian dependency
  • Added 37 unit tests covering all path-formatting functions
  • CI now runs the test suite on every push and pull request
  • CI now scans for known deprecated Obsidian API usage
  • Release workflow now runs tests before building — a failing test prevents a release from being created

See CHANGELOG.md for full details.
