Troubleshooting Tampermonkey Script Issues with Todoist

Many users encounter problems while trying to run user scripts on specific websites using Tampermonkey, a popular userscript manager. One such concern is when a script designed for Todoist fails to execute, appearing to run only on other webpages instead. This guide gives an overview of the problem and guides you through a potential solution, ensuring your script works flawlessly on Todoist.

The Problem: Script Not Executing

Situation: You’ve crafted a Tampermonkey script to enhance your experience on Todoist, but no matter what you do, it just won’t run. You might encounter unexpected behavior or see that the script executes on unrelated sites.

Example Script Snippet:

In the above example, although the script includes the correct URL, the alert simply doesn’t appear when you navigate to Todoist. So what could be going wrong?

Possible Causes

Permissions Issue: Sometimes, Tampermonkey may not have the right permissions set to run scripts on specific domains.

Code Errors: Even a minor syntax error can prevent scripts from executing.

-include Directive: The -include directive might be incorrectly specified or too broad/narrow.

Browser Extensions/Interference: Other extensions might conflict with Tampermonkey.

The Solution: Switch to Violentmonkey

One user found success by switching from Tampermonkey to another userscript manager called Violentmonkey. While we don't have a concrete explanation for why moving to Violentmonkey worked, this transition resolved the issue effectively. Here’s how you can potentially fix your script situation:

Steps to Switch to Violentmonkey

Remove Tampermonkey:

Go to your browser’s extensions or add-ons page.

Locate Tampermonkey and uninstall it.

Install Violentmonkey:

Visit the official Violentmonkey website or your browser's extension store.

Install Violentmonkey as your new userscript manager.

Import Your Script:

Open Violentmonkey and create a new script.

Copy and paste your existing Tampermonkey script exactly as it is.

Test the Script:

Navigate to Todoist and see if the alert appears as expected.

Why This Solution Might Work

Switching to a different userscript manager can sometimes bypass limitations or issues unique to Tampermonkey. Violentmonkey may handle certain URLs or permissions in a way that makes your script run smoothly on Todoist.

Conclusion

If you’re struggling to get your Tampermonkey scripts functioning correctly on Todoist, consider switching to Violentmonkey, as it has been noted to resolve similar issues for other users. Always ensure that your scripts are well-structured and debug any errors that may arise. Happy scripting!
