[Vivaldi] Unable to fetch bookmarks from Nextcloud 12 instance

[e-alfred]

Hello,

I installed the Floccus 1.2.0 *.crx plugin in Vivaldi 1.10.867.38 and entered my address/credentials, but the plugin is unable to fetch Bookmarks from a Nextcloud 12 instance with the Bookmarks app 0.10.0 enabled.

I get the following in the developer console for the plugin in Vivaldi:

Fetching bookmarks Objectpassword: "password"url: "https://server/owncloud/"username: "user"__proto__: Object
server/owncloud//index.php/apps/bookmarks/public/rest/v2/bookmark?page=-1 Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 500 (Internal Server Error)

    at browser.storage.local.get.then.then.response (background-script.js:23)
    at <anonymous>
bookmarks.sync.catch.err @ background-script.js:100

This is the log entry in the nextcloud.log file on the server:

Could you try removing the trailing slash from the root URL? -- Sent from my Android device with K-9 Mail. Please excuse my brevity.

[e-alfred]

Okay, removed the trailing slash and now it fetches the bookmarks from the server as I can see in the console. But no bookmarks are shown in the Bookmarks pane of Vivaldi. Not even the Owncloud folder is created by the extension. I cannot see any error in the console though.

[marcelklehr]

The owncloud folder should be somewhere. It's a pattern that people don't look too hard for it. It might not be toplevel. In firefox it's inside "Other bookmarks"

[e-alfred]

I tried it on two different Vivaldi setups on different machines, but neither the folder gets created nor any bookmarks get synced. If I search for them on a fresh Vivaldi installation, none of them are found by the search nor are they showing up anywhere.

It seems that Vivaldi does something different compared to other Chromium-based browsers, so I sent a mail to their support as suggested here:

https://help.vivaldi.com/article/extensions/

I will tell you if I get some more information from them.

[e-alfred]

I got this answer back from Vivaldi support:

There are extensions that still doesn't work well with Vivaldi especially those that interacts with bookmarks, UI and history since Vivaldi does not use the same format as Chrome does. I will look into this extension, but it would be helpful if you contact the developer and ask for Vivaldi support. We will do the same.

Seems like Vivaldi is different from the rest of the Chromium-based browsers supporting WebExtensions.

I found something interesting when i export my Bookmarks.
The Sync is working but the Folder is not visible.
Vivaldi is storing his Bookmarks in an Subfolder(Bookmarks).

Maby you must only change the root folder...

[va-h]

I can confirm @lala-rob findings.

[marcelklehr]

I will probably have to add the ability to select a custom folder then.

[e-alfred]

Tried 1.3.0 beta 3 on latest Vivaldi snapshot 1.13.971.8 but the problem persists. The bookmarks get downloaded without a problem but no folder is created nor do the bookmarks show up.

[marcelklehr]

Let me know if this is fixed in floccus v2.0.0. You should be able to select a custom folder now ;)

[e-alfred]

Yes, selection of a different folder resolves the bug! Thanks for the awesome work!
