Hidden files remain conflicted in sync

hobbesjaap commented 4 months ago

Abstract

Conflicted Hidden files refuse to sync/resolve, despite many actions taken.

Expected behaviour

Synchronisation of files run, but a number of hidden files are conflicted in the database. When trying to resolve, nothing happens.
I would expect errors to be resolved.

Actually happened

The following files continue to provide errors:

2/16/2024, 10:43:10 AM->Hidden file conflicted:i:.obsidian/plugins/calendar/data.json
2/16/2024, 10:43:10 AM->Hidden file conflicted:i:.obsidian/plugins/folder-notes/data.json
2/16/2024, 10:43:10 AM->Hidden file conflicted:i:.obsidian/plugins/obsidian-day-planner/data.json
2/16/2024, 10:43:10 AM->Hidden file conflicted:i:.obsidian/plugins/obsidian-pandoc-reference-list/data.json
2/16/2024, 10:43:11 AM->Hidden file conflicted:i:.obsidian/plugins/omnisearch/data.json
2/16/2024, 10:43:11 AM->Hidden file conflicted:i:.obsidian/plugins/text-extractor/data.json
2/16/2024, 10:43:11 AM->Hidden file conflicted:i:.obsidian/workspace-mobile.json
2/16/2024, 10:43:11 AM->Hidden file conflicted:i:.obsidian/workspace.json

Reproducing procedure

I have messed things up myself, I fear. I had everything syncing between my desktop, laptop and phone. Some files got into conflict with each other (hidden files).

I've since disabled hidden file sync on my laptop and phone. So it's only running on my desktop. But the files listed above refuse to sync.

I've replaced the remote DB. I've forced sync on all files. I've fetched the remote DB and completely replaced the local DB. But these files continue to give errors.

Some of these don't even exist on my desktop. For example the folder-notes/data.json file or the workspace-mobile.json

Is there a way to just reset these files? When I use the command menu in Obsidian to resolve, it shows the list of files, but selecting a file only creates another "Hidden file conflicted" entry in the log. The error remains.

I'm looking for a way to forcibly remove these files from the sync, reset it and then things should be fine, since I only sync hidden files from my desktop now. Nowhere else.

Any help you can give would be much appreciated - I LOVE your plugin!

Thank you for opening the issue! The simplest way is Rebuild everything.

Self-hosted LiveSync respects and preserves the conflict as is, if it is not resolved. And, it will be synchronised between the remote and every local as is. This behaviour makes us able to resolve the conflict on any device.

Therefore, if we cannot resolve the conflicts for any reason, we should rebuild both the local database and remote database at once. This is the Rebuild everything.

However, this was probably a result of some bugs. Hidden file handling is now fixed at v0.22.7. Would you mind if I ask you to check the v0.22.7, please? May our (My, and of course, your) plugin answer you all love. I am so proud of the honour.

Hi! New information! If the problems still exist, v0.22.10 may help further.
