mkdir in obsidian.path can't create a new folder in windows.

[azinsharaf]

🐛 Describe the bug

mkdir in obsidian.path can't create a new folder in windows.
I am trying to create daily notes with a specific format (local function get_daily_notes_folder()) so folders need to be created if they don't exist.

Config

local Path = require("plenary.path")

-- Get the OS-specific vault path
local function get_vault_path()
	local os_name = vim.loop.os_uname().sysname
	if os_name == "Windows_NT" then
		return {
			work = Path:new(vim.env.USERPROFILE, "OneDrive - W Inc", "Obsidian", "Obsidian_work"):absolute(),
			personal = Path:new(vim.env.USERPROFILE, "azin_obsidian_personal"):absolute(),
		}
	else
		return {
			work = Path:new(vim.fn.expand("~"), "OneDrive - W Inc", "Obsidian", "Obsidian_work"):absolute(),
			personal = Path:new(vim.fn.expand("~"), "azin_obsidian_personal"):absolute(),
		}
	end
end
--
-- Get resolved paths and define workspaces
local vault_paths = get_vault_path()
print(vault_paths.work)

-- Function to get the current year, month, day, and day of the week
local function get_daily_notes_folder()
	-- Get current year, month number, month name, day, and day of the week
	local year = os.date("%Y")
	local month_number = os.date("%m") -- Month as two digits
	local month_name = os.date("%B") -- Full month name

	-- Dynamically define the base folder for daily notes based on the vault path
	-- local vault_paths = get_vault_path()
	local base_folder = vault_paths.work -- You can change this to `vault_paths.personal` if needed
	print(base_folder)
	--
	--
	--
	-- Check if the base_folder is valid
	if not base_folder or base_folder == "" then
		error("Invalid base folder path: " .. tostring(base_folder))
	end

	-- Construct the nested path for the current year, month, and day
	local folder_path = Path:new(base_folder, "daily_notes", year, month_number .. "-" .. month_name):absolute()

	-- Ensure the folder exists (create if it doesn't)

	-- if not folder_path:exists() then
	-- 	folder_path:mkdir({ parents = true })
	-- end

	return folder_path
end

-- Ensure workspaces are properly named and unique
local workspaces = {
	{ name = "work", path = vault_paths.work },
	{ name = "personal", path = vault_paths.personal },
}

-- Validate paths and create a table of valid workspaces
local valid_workspaces = {}
for _, ws in ipairs(workspaces) do
	if Path:new(ws.path):exists() then
		table.insert(valid_workspaces, ws)
	end
