Sync Step 1 error - Could not update note #174

Closed brightghost closed 5 years ago

brightghost commented 5 years ago

I have nvpy .9.7 installed on Debian Stretch from apt. Was working fine as recently as 2018-12, but today I opened and am greeted with this error:

Sync Step 1 error - Could not update note [uuid] to server: HTTP Error 404: Not Found

Status bar reports 'Could not connect to SimpleNote server'. Nothing informative in the log, just a bunch of:

2019-02-17 17:43:20,827 - DEBUG - nvpy logging initialized
2019-02-17 17:43:20,827 - DEBUG - config read from ['/home/swlkr/.nvpy.cfg']
2019-02-17 17:43:21,150 - DEBUG - Starting full sync.

[etc.]

Maybe just be an outage on SimpleNote's end? Tried removing my local database but still no luck. I don't see anything in the release notes regarding a breaking change in the API, though I do see a concerning notice about an API deprecation in 2018-10 on SimpleNote's site. Anyway, I tried downloading the latest dev version to test but am unable to run it (see #168).

Please try the latest development version. You can install it by run the following command.

$ pip install 'git+https://github.com/cpbotha/nvpy.git#egg=nvpy'

I using it everyday, but it seems to be working without any problems.

Additional explanation: nvpy v1.0.0 or earlier are no longer function because the Legacy Simplenote API was obsoleted. The latest development version supports new API (See #159). So the simplenote synchronization feature will work completly.

A long time has passed from latest release. I will release a new version some time soon.

I've got the exact same problem: Sync Step 1 error - Could not update note Tried the aforementioned solution of pip install 'git+https://github.com/cpbotha/nvpy.git#egg=nvpy' to install the latest development version, but apparently it installs version 1.0.0.:

Successfully installed Markdown-3.0.1 docutils-0.14 nvpy-1.0.0 simplenote-2.1.0

Consequently still Sync Step 1 error - Could not update note

OS: Kubuntu 16.04.

yuuki0xff commented 5 years ago

Could you re-run the pip install command with --upgrade option?

$ pip install --upgrade 'git+https://github.com/cpbotha/nvpy.git#egg=nvpy'

If the problem remains, please look for error messages in log file and paste it. The log file will be located at ~/.nvpy/nvpy.log . It will help us to fix the problem.

After messing around with upgrading pip, downgrading pip, trying to install and/or run things differently with python 2 and 3 and so on, everything is working again eventually. It would probably be helpful for others if i could reproduce the exact steps, but unfortunately i can't. In the end it came down to https://github.com/cpbotha/nvpy/issues/168#issuecomment-441864442. That was one of the first things i tried, but to no success initially. Now it's working fine though, but i can't pinpoint why it is now and wasn't before. I'm sorry i can't be more helpful.

So thanks for the update and the help. The development(?) version that is working now, still shows version number 1.0.0.. Is that correct?

Edit: Development version still having number 1.0.0. is very confusing, particularly because of comment https://github.com/cpbotha/nvpy/issues/174#issuecomment-464704782:

nvpy v1.0.0 or earlier are no longer function because the Legacy Simplenote API was obsoleted. The latest development version supports new API

So when Sync Step 1 error appears with that latest development version (having version number 1.0.0.), one assumes the problem is that the latest development version wasn't installed. A higher version number is expected. Therefore i (re)installed nvpy multiple times, unnecessarily.

I released v1.1.0 which fixed this problem.

Development version still having number 1.0.0. is very confusing, particularly because of comment #174 (comment):

I apologize for the confusion. From now on, adding "-dev" suffix to version number for identify the release version or development version.

In case someone bumps onto this again. None of the above worked for me except the following.

I didn't remember BUT I have installed nvPy on Ubuntu through the software center. Although upgrading from pip changed the version of nvPy in "about" section the problem persisted

What I had to do is.

As the last command above managed to install Markdown 3.1 for me which I couldn't upgrade with pip earlier
