Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/floccusaddon/floccus/issues/236

Software versions

-All browsers, Floccus 3.2.6, Chrome / Firefox Windows 10, Nextcloud synology dsm docker

Steps to reproduce

I had an issue upgrading from Nextcloud 15.0.2 to 15.0.4. I kept getting stuck in the upgrade procedure and so I had to try a few things until eventually got it working. All my data is restored, caldav, carddav syncs. The only thing that isn't working is bookmark sync with floccus. I can't really tell what's going on because the usernames and passwords were saved. I even set up a new app password for floccus, but it refuses to connect. All I get is the following few lines repeated over and over in the log. Any ideas? I could send you the log, but literally it's the same 4 lines repeated, nothing else.

Debug log

Fetching bookmarks
Syncing failed with Network error: Check your network connection and your account details
Starting sync process for account admin@cloud.domain.net
Overriding title of built-in node 1 Bookmarks bar => Bookmarks Bar

Mh, nothing suspicious there. The Error message indicates that there is a problem reaching the server. In order to find out exactly what is going wrong you can open the extension debugger as follows:

Chrome

  • Go to chrome://extensions
  • enable Developer mode
  • click on dist/html/background.html button in floccus' entry next to "Inspect views: "
  • go to the Network tab
  • trigger a sync by clicking on force Sync for the floccus account of your choice
  • go back to the network inspector window and check the network logs

Thank you so much. And sorry to waste your time. That tip helped me see what was going on, which turned out to be related to cached data in Chrome. I cleared the cache and floccus seems to be syncing now. Will let you know if there are any other issues.

mmh. What was the error in chrome exactly? I'd like to make sure nobody else runs into this :)

I think this would be an unlikely scenario for someone else to run into. What happened was I updated nextcloud from 5.0.2 to 5.0.4 and the update failed. So I had to install a new installation in order to complete the update. I think Chrome was trying to sync while I was updating and saved the wrong redirect in the cache. In Chrome, the url for my server was being redirected to https:// _/path
