Lists are still not cached in some cases

[idpaterson]

In #112 it was discovered that lists named with non-ascii characters such as the umlaut ü can cause the lists to not cache properly to lists.cpickle. This in turn causes features that rely on the list cache to fail.

[idpaterson]

The list cache was still being written from a background thread based on the threading of child syncs. This appears to be unrelated to the accented text. It was more of a case of the _wl-reset not working and then the sync only sometimes writing the lists cache file.

I am getting a "Error in Workflow" (see attached) as soon as I type "wl".

I have a list of various things, and deal a lot with Chinese language. I do not see any characters in the list as a title, but there might be strange characters within the notes, etc.

is this list cache problem related? I was using the workflow without any problem up until recently.

If there is something I can do to test this, etc., please let me know.

Odd... this problem wasn't actually related to the special characters. It's difficult to tell what the error is, can you open up Alfred's debugging console for the Wunderlist workflow? It should provide a more detailed error.

here is the log after the failure...

Ah, yeah that is a problem with alfred-workflow that ought to have been fixed. What's your current workflow version (wl:about)? You should be able to fix that by deleting the /Users/ecurran/Library/Application\ Support/Alfred\ 2/Workflow\ Data/com.ipaterson.alfred.wunderlist/settings.json file - nothing important there.

[idpaterson]

The most recent cause of the list cache not being created as discussed at the top of this thread is now fixed in 0.6.0-beta.1.

[vr2nr]

I deleted and reinstalled and it is working now. Many thanks.

@vr2nr please let me know what your workflow version is, at wl:about so that I can track down the cause of that settings file error.
