Sync still not working despite upgrade to 1.3.1

[ghost]

A per the earlier issue,now thw authentication is completed..no problem.. But its still not syncing...I authenticated and now its trying to sync from past 1hour...and still only the .jason file is the only file created...is it the only file that is supposed to be created?? and the web app(for chrome) is not syncing either...it shows a message sayin an error occured at it has been reported to developers..!! what is all this happening?? why is it still not syncing??

[caioalonso]

For me, it seems to stop on the Waiting for Nitro to be authenticated... part. I am using Dropbox. Here is a full log:

caio@arch ~ nitrotasks

Async, I hope. Does that fix everyones problems???

And the Sync animation appears. No new window is opened. After a while this shows up:

[consindo]

Ah. That's a server side error. We need to add in some error handling.

[caioalonso]

@consindo I see. But I'm afraid @nirmik379kale is experiencing a different issue. Perhaps I should create a new issue?

[ghost]

@consindo Are apps working with your other customers?? i tried it throughout the day...even after leting it sync for more than 4 hours,no success..!!

[consindo]

Sync should work but it doesn't work very well. We're going to rewrite Nitro from the ground up without smart lists (majority of sync bugs), use proper MVC, plugin support and sync will be perfect.

We're aiming for Nitro 1.4 to be super stable and everything is a plugin.

[ghost]

So what do i do as of now?? And when is 1.4 aimed to relese?? Because your app is seriously good..!! waiting for the stable version..:) also...what to do now??

[consindo]

Hopefully we can get it done in a few weeks. What to do now? Uh, sadly the only solution is don't use sync =(

[ghost]

oh... =( thats sad... no problem...eagerly waiting for the new release =)

[caioalonso]

@consindo About the rewrite, do you guys plan on using Coffeescript?

[consindo]

I've never really used Coffeescript. It might be a good idea. We will be using stuff like backbone.js though

[Klikini]

I have the same problem. I had to disable sync because it would never finish... after an entire night of syncing it crashed. I was using Dropbox.

[selinium]

Hi there,

Just wanted to say I am suffering the exact same issue CaioAlonso with the exact same error messages.

:)

So looking forward to this getting stable and thanks for the postcard! :)

[consindo]

Nitro 1.4 came out a while ago. Does it work?

[caioalonso]

Hi @consindo, sorry, but it seems to be not working. I tested it on Arch Linux using an installation done by the AUR package.

First, the version I'm using:

caio@arch ~ nitrotasks --version
nitrotasks 1.4.5

Upon executing nitrotasks, this is what I get:

caio@arch ~ nitrotasks
/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/gi/overrides/Gtk.py:391: Warning: g_object_set_property: construct property "type" for object `Window' can't be set after construction

    launcher.set_property("count", int(title[1]))
NameError: global name 'launcher' is not defined

Then, when I go to Settings > Sync > and click the Dropbox button, I get this:

** Message: console message: file:////usr/share/nitrotasks/media/app/js/plugins.js @1: Connecting to Nitro Sync server

** Message: console message: file:////usr/share/nitrotasks/media/app/js/plugins.js @1: Requesting URL

reqURL
undefined
service=undefined

And Nitro now says Waiting for Nitro to be authenticated.... No authentication page is opened, neither in Nitro or my browser.

After a while, this shows up:

Oh, in case you need me to retest it with --verbose, just let me know and I'll do it.

[ghost]

1.4 is still not syncing! :(

[consindo]

Ok. I have a fix and I'll release the new version when I get back to New Zealand tomorrow.

[consindo]

1.4.6 is now released. Does it work now?

[caioalonso]

Let me check.

caio@arch ~ nitrotasks --version
nitrotasks 1.4.6

caio@arch ~ nitrotasks --verbose
DEBUG:nitrotasks: set_up_logging() 'logging enabled'

Now, Settings > Sync > Dropbox button:

** Message: console message: file:////usr/share/nitrotasks/media/app/js/plugins.js @1788: Connecting to Nitro Sync server

** Message: console message: file:////usr/share/nitrotasks/media/app/js/plugins.js @1792: Requesting URL

Nothing seems to happen after this. Is it supposed to call the default browser and open the Dropbox authentication page? Maybe the python wrapper isn't letting the js open a page in my browser.

[caioalonso]

I don't know if this helps, but I tried to open Nitro in Chromium:

caio@arch ~/src/Nitro chromium index.html 

Then, on Chromium's console:

Loaded filter.js plugins.js:722
Loaded sort.js plugins.js:1561
Running cleanDB plugins.js:159
Cleaning complete. Took 0.005s plugins.js:453

And after clicking the Dropbox button:

Connecting to Nitro Sync server plugins.js:1790
Requesting URL plugins.js:1794
XMLHttpRequest cannot load http://app.nitrotasks.com/request_url. Origin null is not allowed by Access-Control-Allow-Origin.

Maybe it's just a consequence of running Nitro without proper app permissions.

[ghost]

Its still not working!! Only authentication is completed and a .jason file is created...nothing other than that....later it says "sync with server failed" and comes back to the 2 sync options. :(

[consindo]

What distribution are you using?

[ghost]

ubuntu 12.04

[caioalonso]

@consindo Arch Linux, installation via https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=58082

[athaller]

Hey guys,

I stumbled upon your task management app and am very impressed at the work you guys have done. I do have the same issue as the rest of the users and am looking forward for the rebuild. Please let me know when this happens and also if you plan on making a SQL version of this app so it can be accessed from multiple machines in realtime.

[consindo]

If I get some time, I think I know how to fix this and I'll try do it in the next few days. We probably won't use SQL as the current sync service uses node.js and it's probably a better idea to use a db such as redis.

[consindo]

Released 1.4.7. It should work as it uses it's own web browser.
