Obsidian.md graph color syncing python script

sync-graph-groups.py

import json

graphFile = open("../graph.json")
graphData = json.load(graphFile)

colorGroups = graphData['colorGroups']

print(f'colorGroups: {colorGroups}')

graphFile.close()

workspaceFile = open("../workspace")

print(f'workspaceData before: {workspaceData}')

def searchChildren(data):
    if not data.get('children') is None:
        for i in data.get('children'):
            searchChildren(i)

    if not data.get('state') is None:
        if data['state']['type'] == "localgraph":
            data['state']['state']['options']['colorGroups'] = colorGroups

searchChildren(workspaceData['main'])

print(f'workspaceData after:  {workspaceData}')

workspaceFile.close()

with open("../workspace", 'w') as workspaceFile:
    json.dump(workspaceData, workspaceFile, indent=2)

https://github.com/Xallt/sync-graph-settings is a plugin that solves this properly with a command, works great! I've switched to using the plugin over the script in this gist.
