@arnohovhannisyan can you look into this ?

@cspwizard can you post the following things:

1. custom settings .json file inside User folder. You can remove the token in that file before posting.
2. Console Log ( Help Menu > Toogle Developer Tools )

[cspwizard]

Sure!

settings .json

Also I've several instances of VSCode running, maybe this could cause issues as well.

[shanalikhan]

Thanks.
Did it happens for the first time when you report?
Since then, have you tried restarting the code to see still having problem?

edit : for multiple instance, closing all the instances and then opening them

[cspwizard]

No. the issue is there for couple days. I've restarted all the instances, and even reboot, but it still happens.

[gnomeria]

Keeps happening to me too. I'll post some more info later

[glossnyx]

@cspwizard In your user folder, is there a sync.lock file when vscode is closed?

[cspwizard]

@arnohovhannisyan no, only globalStorage/, keybindings.json, settings.json, snippets/, syncLocalSettings.json, workspaceStorage/

[glossnyx]

@cspwizard Can you try this out?
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/549007146868539408/566098906031849483/code-settings-sync-3.2.8.vsix

Edit: also, please add "state.*" to ignoreUploadFiles array in syncLocalSettings.json or just reset settings

[cspwizard]

I'll check a bit later. Thanks!

[cspwizard]

@arnohovhannisyan with your vsix package it seems to work fine, thanks!

[shanalikhan]

@gnomeria can you use the build created by @arnohovhannisyan and let us know if it worked for you too ?

[glossnyx]

Is anyone here able to test my new changes? I need some confirmation that it works as expected before it can be rolled out into the master branch.

VSIX: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/549007146868539408/584860646177505303/code-settings-sync-3.2.9.vsix

Thanks!

[cspwizard]

I did, it worked for me.

[shanalikhan]

Auto upload is improved.

I have released new version of Settings Sync v3.3.0 fixing this issue. Im closing this ticket let me know if u guys run into some problem

[ngavu]

I still experience this in v3.4.3 of the plugin.

[pchodak]

Same problem here (3.4.3)

[jeffvv95]

Same problem here

[IdrisDose]

Yeahp got this problem seems to be on MacOS my windows build doesn't do this.

[DavyGuedes]

Hi,
After installing v3.31 and resetting the extension settings, it worked again

[pwkip]

same problem on ubuntu 20.4 latest version of VS code and latest version of the plugin.

edit: I fixed it so i'm unsubscribing from this thread. wish i remember what the problem was. i believe i had to remove some generated files and trying again worked. sorry i don't remember the details.

[pascaljr]

same problem here in Windows 10, lateste version of VS Code and latest version of the plugin

[huhaiqing106]

Same problem here

[albertoammar]

Same problem here

[RaheelJameel]

I also got this same problem when installing this extension in a new PC.

Was able to fix this by comparing the syncLocalSettings.json file between my new PC and the old PC where code-settings-sync is working. Both were running version 3.4.3.

So the difference I found was of token field being null in the new PC. So I generated a new Personal access token on Github with Gist permissions only and added that to the token field as a string value.

This fixed the issue and I was able to sync settings.

Don't know why the extension didn't automatically save the token before, as I do remember adding the token in the GUI settings editor.

[Obooman]

Same problem here, uninstall and reinstall and relaunch vscode sometimes seems to solve this, but have no idea what is happening.
