Get Business Shared Folders only works after stopping the sync

[d-vogel]

Hey, thanks for the great work ! I just spend quite a bit of time figuring out why querying shared folders did not work for me. The log file was outputting an error because onedrive is already running. After stopping the sync, querying the folders worked.

Maybe it's possible to make that automatic? Stopping the sync for the account asked for the shared folders and resuming once result query is received?

Isn't it possible that you have some old version of Onedrive client installed? Please try with client version 2.4.23 and let me know.

It sounds like you might be hit with this issue: https://github.com/abraunegg/onedrive/issues/1274 where older Ubuntu | Debian packages would install a service that caused the application to automatically run in the background.

The fix for this is detailed here: https://github.com/abraunegg/onedrive/issues/1274#issuecomment-813846904

@abraunegg , I originally suspected it was caused by https://github.com/abraunegg/onedrive/issues/2106 . I actually opened it because I faced the same issues when I was implementing the Shared folders in the GUI :-) .

Either way, this seems like yet another issue caused by an outdated package.

Hopefully @d-vogel can confirm soon.

I'm sorry to "re-open" (though I cannot do that actually), but I found this issue because I just tried the exact same thing: get a list of shared (business, SharePoint) folders and enable sync for them.

$: onedrive --version
onedrive v2.4.25-1+np1

(installed following the instructions for Linux Mint 21.x)

OneDriveGUI: Version 1.0.2 (just downloaded from the release page).

Clicking "Get Shared Folder" shows nothing, the log mentions the following:

Interestingly, if I execute onedrive --confdir='/home/<account>/.config/onedrive/accounts/<account>' -v --list-shared-folders just to see a list of folders (without --resync etc.), I get them listed to the terminal.

Also, the fix linked in https://github.com/bpozdena/OneDriveGUI/issues/86#issuecomment-1466848235 does not help, the file in question does not exist (and it should not, if I understand the version history correctly).

Not sure what I did wrong :-) Still, stopping Sync, listing, starting sync works flawlessly...

@21347 , @bpozdena

2023-08-04 13:05:16,068 [OneDriveGUI.py:1838][fn=__init__][DEBUG] - [GUI] Maintenance command: 'exec onedrive -->confdir='/home/<account>/.config/onedrive/accounts/<account>' -v --list-shared-folders --resync --resync-auth'

This command is wrong.

You should never be trying to perform a --resync --resync-auth when trying to --list-shared-folders

[21347]

I just check - listing shared folders now works from within the GUI without stopping sync. Nice!

Fixed in AppImage v1.0.3
