I am also receiving the same error message "Process completed with exit code 1". I just set up my Roam backup using the instructions at https://kuvee.medium.com/a-step-by-step-guide-to-backing-up-your-roam-research-database-356107fe82ee OS: Windows 10 Do you use Github Action? Yes. Do you use multiple Roam databases? No. Does roam-to-git use to work for you? I just set it up today and it failed on the first run When precisely did it stopped to work? December 20, 2020 Does some backup runs are still working? No

I tried creating starting fresh with a new script and GitHub repository, but the same problem: "Process completed with exit code 1."

[bobmhughes]

Here is the log file in text format from the most recent failed backup with the error code "Process completed with exit code 1". I have added an empty line between the sections of the backup log for sake of clarity.

Thanks for your help with this error!

EDIT: Backup worked on its own (about 9 hours ago) without any changes! Will update if it breaks again. Leaving the old comment below for posterity.

Experiencing the same issue!

[kerim]

Still not working for me. Fails every time.

[bobmhughes]

Same here, fails every time with the same error code.

Thanks in advance for help solving this issue

@kerim All errors end with Process completed with exit code 1. Please attach your log file. (You can check at the end of my guide on how to download your log files.)

@bobmhughes If you're getting this error every hour, you may have entered the wrong email or are using a Google account.

@everruler12 Thanks for the suggestion to "Double check that your ROAMRESEARCH_DATABASE value is just the name of your graph, and not a URL". I don't know if this was entered wrong or not as when you go to update it, the previous value does not show. I also checked the "All workflows" page and it turns out that the backup is not failing every time. I incorrectly assumed that it was failing every time as I have received so many "backup failed" emails. I didn't realize that I would not receive an email if the backup was successful. When there is an error, I see this in the log "AssertionError: All roads lead to Roam, but that one is too long. Try again when Roam servers are faster. Error: Process completed with exit code 1." I also noticed in the log file that the backup was trying to access "https://roamresearch.com/#/app/***" which doesn't make sense to me.

@bobmhughes Your graph name is a Secret, that's why it uses *** in the log. I've been getting the same kind of error every so often. I don't know what causes it. It may be Roam timing out. As long as most hourly runs are successful, these errors can be ignored.

[kerim]

@everruler12 Thanks. I was able to find the error on my own and it is working again. What happened is that I had imported some notes (via Readwise) that had a double colon "::" (probably an OCR error in the original PDF) at the end of a huge block of text. Roam treated this as an attribute, hence a page name, and the backup script was giving an error for having a page name that was too long. I wonder if the backup script could be made more robust so that errors like this don't interrupt the backup?

[bobmhughes]

@everruler12 It looks like I am getting an 83% success rate with my backups. The most common errors are Assertion and Network errors

[bobmhughes]

The errors are back, although I haven’t changed the code one bit. I haven’t had a successful backup in about 36 hours. How about you?

Thanks,

Bob

Most of my hourly backups are still successful, with about 3 errors per day.

[bobmhughes]

Here is the relevant excerpt from the latest failed backup, which is the same error as I have received every time for the last almost two days now.

AssertionError: All roads leads to Roam, but that one is too long. Try again when Roam servers are faster.

Error: Process completed with exit code 1.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Bob
