Run console command when a new card is added

Anki Development

For my add-on I need to “catch” the event of a new card being added and have it trigger a function. However the basic code below does not work. There are no errors, but my debug print statement does not appear in the console when I add a new card. What am I doing wrong here?

from aqt import mw
from aqt import gui_hooks

def print_debug(note) -> None:
    print("New card added!") 

gui_hooks.add_cards_did_add_note.append(print_debug)

I tried that code and it working fine.

After checking, it seems it does work when I manually add a card, but not when I add a card via Yomitan (through AnkiConnect). Not sure why.

Maybe AnkiConnect is editing the card data directly and adding new cards, Anki functions are not used so gui_hooks are not called. You may need to detect the add cards by AnkiConnect or Yomitan in some other way or fork AnkiConnect. (I don’t know exactly)
