Chunks of xyz.md are not valid / Exception raised while retrieving chunks #523

Open corani opened 4 weeks ago

corani commented 4 weeks ago

I've updated to 0.23.23 today on both my Windows desktop and Android mobile (using couchdb backend). On my desktop I've rebuild the remote database and I'm now trying to fetch it from my mobile to rebuild the local database but am getting thousands of "Chunks of xyz.md are not valid" and "Exception raised while retrieving chunks" messages.

(1) The continuous wall of toasts make the app unusable until it eventually stops. I see some dialogs from livesync pop up behind the toasts, but they're unreadable and unusable.

(2) Am I toast, and will I have to rebuild everything from scratch? Or are there suggestions for how to recover?

I did a "rebuild everything" on the desktop which took a while, but after that my mobile was able to pull again. Side benefit is that the database is now 10x smaller (not sure what happened there...)

This helped me, thanks!

Sorry for being late! This problem has been fixed at v0.24.0. And, Rebuild everything is the best way bring everything back to fine! (But it were possibly a bit of danger if it had not been synchronised for a while. Secondary way is Resend chunks on the Hatch pane. This would be safe).

Would you mind if I ask you to upgrade to the latest version and check the behaviour, please?
