dendron-markdown-links: extension runtime error

[gour]

Hello,

After resolving #3268 I've installed some more extensions to be used with Dendron and the one produces extension runtime error - see the shot below:

I'm also including debug & trace log files...

debug.log
trace.log

Thanks for the logs, @gour !

I looked into this - it looks like this particular error also is produced when running via VSCode:

(It seems the extension runtime errors aren't bubbled up in quite the same way, though).

The main issue is this line of code:
https://github.com/dendronhq/markdown-links/blob/ba7d189da5541d6c47c5aa99cbca76255024bdcd/src/dendron/base.ts#L98

export async function setupDendron(context: vscode.ExtensionContext) {
  const ctx = "setupDendron";
  const wsRoot = path.dirname(
    vscode.workspace?.workspaceFile?.fsPath as string
  );

If there is no workspace configuration file - the vscode.workspace?.workspaceFile?.fsPath will evaluate to null, and the exception is produced by path.dirname(null)

There are a few other blockers for this extension, like the core dendron issue - in particular the #3128 support is needed

The Dendron bug has been noted upstream and is planned to be fixed in April. See: dendronhq/dendron#322
