No data after new_file_format #565

Same problem here. |
|
Hey, thanks for reporting. Can you check if this is fixed for you now? |
|
Hi, sorry, it is still not fixed. Is there anything I can try to help (maybe some output of the dev console, if you tell me what to try)? Edit: Maybe this helps. |
|
that's really weird, can you show me your directory structure in tmp/default? |
|
ls -R in tmp/default gives .: ./xdg: ./xdg/cache: ./xdg/cache/gstreamer-1.0: ./xdg/cache/mesa_shader_cache: ./xdg/cache/mozilla: ./xdg/cache/mozilla/firefox: ./xdg/cache/yelp: ./xdg/cache/yelp/CacheStorage: ./xdg/cache/yelp/WebKitCache: './xdg/cache/yelp/WebKitCache/Version 16': './xdg/cache/yelp/WebKitCache/Version 16/Blobs': ./xdg/config: ./xdg/config/gtg: ./xdg/config/gtg/plugins: './xdg/config/gtg/plugins/Urgency Color': ./xdg/config/yelp: ./xdg/data: ./xdg/data/gtg: ./xdg/data/gtg/backup: ./xdg/data/webkitgtk: ./xdg/data/webkitgtk/databases: ./xdg/data/webkitgtk/databases/indexeddb: ./xdg/data/webkitgtk/databases/indexeddb/v1: ./xdg/data/webkitgtk/deviceidhashsalts: ./xdg/data/webkitgtk/deviceidhashsalts/1: ./xdg/data/webkitgtk/localstorage: ./xdg/data/webkitgtk/serviceworkers: |

I also read in the specs of the new file format, that all data is (or should be) stored in one file gtg_data.xml. |
|
I tried some new things to get a better idea of what's happening:
From my perspective the problem, is that the old gtg_tasks is not translated into the new format. If gtg_data.xml is present, everything is just fine. So the transition with no gtg_data and gtg_tasks not translated seems to be the problem. |
|
There's something funny about that tmp folder structure, why is there webkit and yelp stuff? For some reason gtg isn't finding you gtg_tasks.xml to convert to the new format |
|
I don't know, where these folders come from. I installed a complete new version of GTG and everything worked.
Another similarity is that, the presence of the old backends.conf triggers the bug. So with an empty data folder, if the old backends.conf is present, the task list is empty an will not be saved. If you like I can post my old backends.conf here, but when I was testing I found that the bug only occurs when "default" is set to TRUE. |
|
Now the old data is imported. Thanks a lot! The old backends.conf seems to be the problem; if I delete the tmp folder an copy my old tmp folder, it still does not work. Deleting backends.conf however triggers the correct versioning. I cannot say if this is a problem because I messed around with so much backup copies and deleting/modifying single files that I don't know if this is just some relic from my mess. If there are no objections this issue can be closed. Thanks again to Diego! |
Hello,
after my last git pull --rebase (which installed the new_file_format) all data (tasks and tags) are empty.
If I create new task, close GTG and re-open it, the new task is also not present.
The original data in the /tmp folder is untouched.
How to reproduce is easy:
run GTG via ./launch.sh and this is it.
Debug information does not throw any warning or errors (at least none I can see).
Is there any additional information you need?
I am new to GitHub so I am not familiar with the procedures.
