# 🐛 Quick Update: Path Bug Fixed
**TL;DR:** A bug was hiding in plain sight. Run `/dex-update` to fix it.
---
## What happened?
When I built Dex, some file paths got hardcoded to my machine (`/Users/dave/Dex/Dex/...`).
Yes, I'm blushing. 😅
These paths slipped through because everything worked perfectly... on my computer. Classic.
---
## What was actually broken?
**Affected features:**
| Feature | Impact |
|---------|--------|
| `/dex-obsidian-setup` | Wouldn't work at all |
| Background automation | Changelog checker and learning review scripts wouldn't run |
| Some maintenance scripts | Would fail if you tried to run them manually |
**Not affected (these always worked fine):**
- ✅ `/daily-plan`, `/daily-review`, `/week-plan`, `/week-review`
- ✅ Task management and syncing
- ✅ Meeting processing (`/process-meetings`)
- ✅ Person and project pages
- ✅ Career features
- ✅ All your data (nothing was lost or corrupted)
So if you hadn't tried `/dex-obsidian-setup` or the background scripts, you probably didn't notice anything wrong. But now those features will actually work!

## How to fix it
Just run:
```
/dex-update
```
That's it. Takes about 30 seconds.

## Thank you 🙏
Big thanks to the community members who reported these issues. Your feedback caught something my testing missed — because I was only testing on... my machine.
Lesson learned: test on machines that don't have "dave" in the path.
Keep the feedback coming. You're making Dex better for everyone.
