Thanks for building on my PR! I have not had the time to return to it since the review. |

Sorry for taking so long to get to this PR, but also, thank you for the excellent PR. I really appreciate that you're modifying documentation, adding tests, and adding thoughtful changes within the norms of the existing code.
The GitHub Actions tests were broken when your PR was first submitted, but they should be workable now if you merge in develop. Otherwise, I added notes about a couple small tasks that should get these new tests passing.
| Scenario: Adding entries to a Folder journal with a custom extension should generate date files | ||
| Given we use the config "empty_folder_with_extension.yaml" | ||
| When we run "jrnl 23 July 2013: Testing folder journal." | ||
| Then we should get no error |

Congratulations, your test uncovered an existing bug! 🎉 I filed it in #1894.
Looks like empty_folder.yaml got past this issue by having an "empty" file in it: tests/data/journals/empty_folder/empty
Feel free to copy that "empty" file to tests/data/journals/empty_folder_with_extension/empty to get this working.

I can't replicate this. I'm not sure what might have caused the issue.
I re-ran the tests without the empty file in test/data/journals/empty_folder and the tests still passed.

Looks like bug #1894 is Windows-only, and this is combined with a limitation of git: since we can only commit files (not directories), that empty_folder doesn't exist on the remote repository until we push a file in it.
The test previously only tested that one of the expected files was created.
