Some edited notes get stuck in sync state

[Arrow7000]

Expected

For notes to sync as usual.

Observed

Edited notes get stuck with the spinner forever, and this error appears in the console:

serviceworker.js:42 Uncaught (in promise) TypeError: Failed to execute 'put' on 'Cache': Request scheme 'chrome-extension' is unsupported
    at serviceworker.js:42:18

However this only seems to happen for some notes, not all of them, but I can't figure out what the difference is between those notes that work and those that don't. But those that don't seem stubbornly stuck, even when I close and reopen the app/webpage.

Where did you see the bug

• System Make: Dell
• System Model: XPS 13
• OS: Windows
• OS version: 10
• Browser (if applicable): Chrome - both on the app.simplenote.com webpage and the PWA app.
• Browser version (if applicable): 115.0.5790.111
• Simplenote app version: N/A

Can also reproduce on Windows 10 with the Simplenote Electron app, version: 2.21.0.

I tried to look at app logs but there is nothing recent in there.

I noticed that actually sometimes some changes are synced, for example if I write a phrase, after a few minutes only a word is synced, and then nothing else happens (but the spinner stays there). I tested this with the desktop app and the Android app, and it happens both ways, so I'm pretty sure it's a server issue, something similar happened last year.

EDIT: three weeks later, it happened again. This is very frustrating.

Also seeing this issue on two separate Windows 10 machines (both using Simplenote v2.21.0)
Not seeing any errors or warnings on the debugging console though :(

Even worse, I've also noticed that it will sometimes sync notes eventually, but then repeat some of the more recent changes. Like ## header example becoming ## ## header example. Or entire lines being repeated.

Happens to me too on Linux

same here on Linux. :(

[gubrist]

Same with electron 2.21.0

• Windows 11 (at home) and
• Windows 10 (at work)

Furthermore, I have observed that new notes get "scrumbled" interacting with Android Phone / Tablet.

For me, the same happens in the web interface and the Android app, probably a server issue https://forums.simplenote.com/forums/topic/simplenote-servers-performance-issues-august-2023/

Same thing happened to me on Linux. I'm using the app image that was released in 2021 https://github.com/Automattic/simplenote-electron/releases/tag/v2.21.0 Seems to work fine on Mac. Having second thoughts about using it on Linux or at all. :(

I'm closing this as it probably captured several different issues, which may be related to a backend problem, firewall/VPN settings, the outdated Linux build or issues specific to a particular account. Please open a new issue if you're still unable to sync after the new version of the app is packaged and released.
