Expected behaviour

Nextcloudcmd completes a sync.

Actual behaviour

Nextcloudcmd sees that it is deleting the last file in a folder, issues a message:

04-15 20:05:02:389 [ info nextcloud.sync.engine ]: All the files are going to be changed, asking the user

and then hangs. No matter what the setting of --non-interactive.

This is new behavior in 3.2.

Steps to reproduce

Add a file to a folder
Sync it with nextcloudcmd
Delete the file on NextCloud instance
Run nextcloudcmd to sync it
Watch it hang

Still an issue with 3.2.2

leafonthewind · 2021-06-24T18:44:37Z

Getting this same hanging behavior. Attempted both with and without --non-interactive.

06-24 14:40:03:499 [ info nextcloud.sync.engine ]: All the files are going to be changed, asking the user

Steps:

Delete or move everything out of a folder.
Attempt to sync it back to Nextcloud.
Hangs. No files are changed on the server side.

The same for me with newest version

If I remove one file it syncs ok, but when removing all files from the source folder (with the exception of the .sync_ files) it hangs on
All the files are going to be changed, asking the user

jeritiana · 2021-12-06T08:31:02Z

My current workaround is to have an empty file .ncattributes - any name will do, so that the workspace never gets empty.

My main use case is to have Nextcloud as a file transfer platform using a group folder. We usually send only one single file and the receiver deletes it when he's done copying to his local drive. So the workspace gets emptied very often. Using this dummy hidden file helps circumventing this issue.

Hope to get a fix soon!

Problem still remains:

Workaround by @jeritiana works.

HyP3r- · 2022-07-12T14:48:53Z

Problem still remains also for me. The workaround from @jeritiana does not work for me. If you take a look at the code: https://github.com/nextcloud/desktop/blob/master/src/libsync/syncengine.cpp#L750 You can see that this program is always asking for the user when files have to be removed... (_hasRemoveFile)

I tried to use the nextcloud client for an automated replication/synchronization which is impossible because of that.

Will this be solved anytime? If not I might need to drop Nextcloud as it doesn't have the ability to sync unattended

dfcsoftware · 2023-08-12T23:26:59Z

I had the same error message leading me here, after I migrated to a new host/instance, with the same user and files.

Fixed it by removing the .sync.xxx database files in the root directory of my user.

Guessing the nextcloud instance identifiers in the database(s) are different.

fdzaebel · 2023-10-22T10:37:41Z

Also an issue for me. Please fix this.

krioso · 2023-10-28T19:58:06Z

dfcsoftware's (August 12) answer worked for me as well - I went to the directory where I was trying to download the files to (specific user), removed the .sync_xxxxx files, nextcloudcmd was able to run after that without "asking the user".

dataprolet · 2024-03-22T23:32:59Z

This is still an issue and deleting the .sync file is not working every time. I'll further investigate the exact behavior and report it here.
