Boostnote: Can no longer configure storage or add notes.

[kengeorge]

I recently updated and also moved my notes storage, and due to one, the other, or both of these I seem to no longer be able to create or read notes. When opening the app, I see a call stack error in the console and any storage I had previously configured will now be gone:

After adding the storage folder again, I still cannot add a note (I receive the 'no storage to create note' warning message, though it is not pictured):

Even though the storage list still contains the newly added location:

Closing and reopening the application starts the process over again: stack error, missing storage folders, so on.

Hmm.. How can I reproduce this problem?

Good question. A bunch of fiddling/uninstalling/reinstalling never got me back to a working state. However, one of the error traces pointed me here: https://github.com/substack/node-mkdirp/issues/126, which sounds a lot like my edge case (as I mentioned, I just finished moving my notes location, and it did involve a volume change)

Following that, to repro, I did the following:

• Inserted a thumb drive to produce a new mounted volume
• Launched boostnote
• Create a storage location on the thumbdrive
• Closed boostnote
• Unplugged the drive
• Launched boostnote again
• Successfully observed the same error situation

So looks like it's a good old dependency issue.

Also worth noting that order to get boostnote working at all again, I had to uninstall, completely remove the .../AppData/Roaming/Boostnote directory, and reinstall. I'm not sure what in there is persisting the old volume info, but something seems to be.

I see. Boostnote store volume info to LocalStorage. Hmm.. I think we have to handle the error.

I had the same issue. Workaround:

1. Open Developer Tools (View -> Toggle Developer Tools)
2. Switch to Application Tab
3. Extend Local Storage
4. Right Mouse Click on file:// and press Clear

After restart all should be work as expected. But note that your settings will be lost!

This finally worked for me, thank you.
