Syncing same wholestore across multiple devices #10

Closed dcinzona closed 11 years ago

dcinzona commented 12 years ago

I'm assuming that this is the expected result - but it's not working for me. What I noticed was a separate wholestore being created in a unique GUID folder for each device that is set up with syncing. Meaning, that the core data doesn't sync across different devices. I'm assuming I'm missing something or there is a flag somewhere set that makes this happen?

Just looking for some direction or where to look. I'm sure it's not a bug, just a stupid typo on my part.

Also, after the initial setup and download of the database, subsequent changes don't update on dropbox (even though I get notifications on the computer that files have changed).

Maybe it all has something to do with the recentsync issue posted below.

I also get these errors in the console every sync: [WARNING] DropboxSDK: error making request to /1/revisions/sandbox/[App Name]/Documents/App Data/RecentSyncs/EB9004E5-9C2D-4FED-A121-6B755FF62A64-8962-00001CA5273817B3.recentsync - Path '[App Name]/Documents/App Data/RecentSyncs/EB9004E5-9C2D-4FED-A121-6B755FF62A64-8962-00001CA5273817B3.recentsync' not found

I just verified that the files do actually exist.

Not sure if anyone can help, but I would love some input!

Can you post a dump of your sync directory on Dropbox? If you drag the top most folder into an app like TextWrangler or BBEdit it will produce a directory hierarchy like so:

If you haven't looked at the iOS Notebook example yet this may also point you to how your implementation might be different.

In terms of the warning message you are seeing, this is actually coming from the Dropbox SDK and nine times out of ten it is perfectly normal. When TICDS wants to sync a file or folder it first does a check for that file's metadata. If that file doesn't exist on Dropbox we create it, but not before Dropbox warns us that it doesn't exist.

dcinzona commented 12 years ago

Should that warning message come up every time the app tries to sync (even if the directory was already created and I can see those files there?)

By the way, every time I make a change to the core data, i do see sync activity increase and then decrease back down to 0. So it is seeing those changes happening and trying to sync, but then when I delete the app from the device and add it again and initialize the sync, those changes revert back to the original. I also do not see any new changes on any new devices (simulator or physical). It just downloads the original wholestore without the changes/updates.

Also, if I manually initiate a sync, the activity increases, looks like it's syncing but when I go through the "new device setup and sync" process, those changes don't come down the pipe.

dcinzona commented 12 years ago

Not sure if you've had a time to look; any ideas?

MrRooni commented 12 years ago

There is a TICDSDocumentSyncManager delegate method called -documentSyncManagerShouldUploadWholeStoreAfterDocumentRegistration: How are you implementing this method?

It sounds like you're hitting a situation that we ran into where after the whole store download you aren't getting any other changes. In that case we had to invoke another sync after the whole store download completed.

This is what I have:

I'm assuming I should comment that last part out?

dcinzona commented 12 years ago

So I made that change, and I still receive the same warnings every time I sync as well as I am not downloading any updated themes from the store.

[WARNING] DropboxSDK: error making request to /1/revisions/sandbox/Clockbuilder/Documents/Clockbuilder Data/RecentSyncs/47AA6D6B-5A93-49E0-A96C-D2F9FD6909FF-67637-000402CB52F585D5.recentsync - Path 'Clockbuilder/Documents/Clockbuilder Data/RecentSyncs/47AA6D6B-5A93-49E0-A96C-D2F9FD6909FF-67637-000402CB52F585D5.recentsync' not found

A little more info:

I deleted the entire dropbox directory, unlinked all clients. then relinked my main device (with my themes on it), and synced.

Then I opened the app in simulator (after completely deleting and reinstalling) and linked it to DB - it downloaded the new themes from my main device.

I made a change on my main device and saved and synced.

Ran a sync in simulator and no changes were processed or downloaded....

So it looks like the initial sync works but it doesnt seem to process any changes still (to any other devices).

Every time I save and manually run a sync, I see the activity change and I see a notification on my computer regarding dropbox changing files - so I know it's doing something...

Gustavo,

Sorry for the delay. At this point I'm not sure how much more help I can be. I suggest taking a closer look at the Notebook samples for Mac and iOS and seeing how your setup differs from those. If you're seeing the same issue in the samples then that's another issue entirely and one I'll need to focus on.

best, Michael

Thanks Michael, I'll take a look and see if I can find anything that could be breaking the default functionality.
