Contacts: VCard object with uid already exists in this addressbook collection on creation

[skjnldsv]

Got the same behaviour, when trying to edit newly created contact name.

Nextcloud responses on editing:

XHR PUT https://<skip_domain>/remote.php/dav/addressbooks/users/user1/-/9D2DBD61-08D6-4A20-80BD-D680A4E06FDA.vcf

Console log

Tested in latest Firefox and Chrome. Also it's look like it looses focus on typing.

Hello @nick-denry!
Have you created the contact through the app? Imported it?
Could you paste it here? The error is very straightforward: the UID field on the contact you just created is the same as another one present on the same addressbook. They cannot co-exists.

Hi!

Have you created the contact through the app?

Yes.

Could you paste it here?

No, it was a very first test contact. I think it's heavy related with the original issue, cause these errors happens when you trying to edit newly created or existed contacts before previous changes are applied.

You're right somehow about slow hardware (very slow atom cpu pc), but maybe you can reproduce it with network speed limitations via browser development tools.

@nick-denry Please test the last 3.0.3 version and see if you can reproduce this issue :)

[nick-denry]

I think you could close this. Can't reproduce it at moment with few attempts.

I am having the same problem in a fresh install of Nextcloud 16.0.3 on a new Debian Buster Server. Not sure if I should open a new issue. Here is the output that keeps coming, contacts are not synched from Android to Nextcloud correctly and neither between Nextcloud and Thunderbird/CardBook.

I have the same problem with 18

[eehmke]

Same problem here, with NC 18.0.1 and contacts 3.1.9. Added new contact, edited the contact name, got the turning wheel and the same messages in the protocol.
