Exporting data to compendium causes folder structure to not render in some cases

[earlSt1]

Hi, not sure it's fixed. Whenever I try to export data to a compendium, I get this: with this error in the console: It was on a gm account.

Edit: Apparently it works with a brand new compendium without any entries in it, but it kinda defeats the purpose to me.

@Honkou can you let me know what happens when you import all content from that compendium, create a new compendium, then export all that content into a new compendium?

I had the issues you're describing with an old compendium of mine, but after deleting it all, exporting it into a new compendium, and exporting a new folder into it, I can't get it to error.

So the only folder that remains looks like this: Everything else is just scattered.

When trying to import it, I get this error:

Edit: I managed to import all the data through the compendium tab. When exported to a new compendium, there were no temporary entities, but there was no folder structure either:

No console errors though.

The problem occurs only when trying to export data to a compendium that some data was already imported to.

Hmm ok, which version of foundry + system are you running? (it looks like 5e but just to be sure).

Also if you've still got a copy of the faulty compendium can you attach the db file to this issue? (if it's a world compendium you can find it in Data/worlds/<worldName>/packs)

Alrighty a fix has been included in v2.1.6. Can you test again once you update?

Hello, I'm using the version 2.1.7 with Foundry 0.7.9 and the error is still happening.

[earlSt1]

Hi @Cussa, was the error appearing after you try to merge folders when exporting again? or was it just from opening the compendium?

[Cussa]

When I tried to "re"export the actors, to have it updated.

[earlSt1]

Ah ok, if you're still using a compendium that was affected by this bug (where the folders dont render right), then re-exporting wont fix it unfortunately. I can see about coming up with a macro to clean up the compendium so you can try again.

[Cussa]

The point is that I started to use it today, already on the version 2.1.7. I export the content to a Compendium. After I did more changes, I tried to export again to update the content, and it created the CF_tempEntry values.

[earlSt1]

I see ok, looks like there is another bug somewhere still causing this issue. I'll do some more digging later.

@Cussa and @Honkou if you're available to test can you try uninstalling and reinstalling using this manifest? In my test environment i was able to replicate your issue, and the latest changes in this test branch fixed it for me: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/earlSt1/vtt-compendium-folders/master/test/module.json

Be sure to duplicate compendiums regularly / backup just in case

[Honkou]

Sorry for not responding earlier, holiday time got pretty crazy. Uninstalling and reinstalling with your latest change seems to have done the trick. Thank you for all the help!

[earlSt1]

No problem, and thats great to hear! Soon i'll push an update which you will be able to update from the test version through foundry

[Cussa]

Sorry for not responding earlier too. I'll do some tests tomorrow night and I will inform you the results.

[earlSt1]

Got someone else to test this too and they have reported the problem is now solved. Fix now implemented in v2.1.8 and will close this for now.
