Floccus: Bookmark file not create on WebDAV server

Created on 7 Feb 2021 · 9Comments · Source: floccusaddon/floccus

Describe the bug

After a few tests with Floccus and LoFloccus, I decided to test Floccus in conjunction with a WebDAV server.
Floccus reports a successful synchronization after an E109 error, but no xbel file is generated.
After the synchronization, all entries in the bookmarks bar are deleted, the entries in the bookmarks menu were not synchronized according to the log

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Setup a fresh WebDAV server, check with other client he is working
Configure Floccus for syncing root folder and new initial sync
click on synchronize now
After synchronization

Expected behavior

a xbel file on the WebDAV server, but nothing
grafik

Then I copied an xbel file from the LoFloccus test to the WebDAV server and synchronized it again. This file has then been changed. It seems like a new file cannot be created. In the screenshot this can be seen as bookmarks-all.xbel-test1.

As I understand it, clicking on "new synchronization" clears the cache and the complete list of bookmarks should be in the xbel file. However, the "remove" indicates that the cache was not empty. How can I control the clearing of the cache?

That bot is a bit overzealous apparently...

marcelklehr on 7 Feb 2021

Marcel, I have the same issue. The Webdav solution does not work at all. It is basically stuck and does not advance at all for hours and even days. I think that there is a major design problem with the file lock which may work for 2 devices but not for more as it will be in a racing condition that only one lock cannot solve.
I tried to go back to the Bookmarks App, but since v 4.4.10 nothing works. My Bookmark app hosted on a Raspberry Pi 4 is useless as it is very slow and I have the latest nextcloud version as of today.

I made a contribution as a sponsor to help with the development, but I need a functional app to store my bookmarks and I will stop using it for a while until things get better. The issue appears on all the browsers.
I will use the private Brave sync which has synced all my 3000 bookmarks in less then 30 seconds. There must be a way that floccus can be made more reliable and fast. If money can help I will contribute more, but at this time floccus is at its worst that has ever been, at least for me and I tried to erase bookmarks , and do it form scratch but nothing helped.

bhlevca on 8 Feb 2021

Thanks for your feedback, folks! I'm sorry for your troubles. This has been due to a stale cache, indeed.

It seems this has been reported in #814 #819 and #650, but I couldn't reproduce it then. The hint with the sync from scratch was the clue.

@bhlevca Thank you for your donation! Initial sync with the bookmarks app is usually slower than normal, but subsequent syncs should be quite fast.

marcelklehr on 8 Feb 2021

I did a new test today.
First a new initial synchronization without an existing xbel file. This ends with the following error:

Then I created an empty xbel file in the WebDAV directory via WinSCP:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE xbel PUBLIC "+//IDN python.org//DTD XML Bookmark Exchange Language 1.0//EN//XML" "http://pyxml.sourceforge.net/topics/dtds/xbel.dtd">
<xbel version="1.0">
</xbel>

and then performed an initial synchronization again:

the xbel file has now been updated.

The problem is therefore that it does not appear to be checked whether an xbel file already exists and that it may have to be created again.

E019: HTTP Status 404. Anfrage vom Typ PUT fehlgeschlagen.

@truegreyhound The webdav adapter is extensively unit-tested with Nextcloud where this request works as intended. I'm happy to change code in floccus to make this work, but as it stands it seems like this would be a problem with your server configuration, as PUT requests should create a new file if it doesn't exist.

marcelklehr on 9 Feb 2021

I had successfully tested my WebDAV installation with various clients.
Today I extended the logging on the WebDAV server and found the following message:
"Negotiation: discovered file (s) matching request: /var/www/webdav/floccus/bookmarks-all.xbel (None could be negotiated)"

After deactivating MultiViews, Floccus created the file successfully.
Here is my current configuration:

Do you have any recommendations on how WebDAV should be configured for floccus with Apache 2.4.

@bhlevca [...] Initial sync with the bookmarks app is usually slower than normal, but subsequent syncs should be quite fast.

@marcelklehr Unfortunately, there is something wrong somewhere, the synchronization is not working at all. In Firefox I monitored with the task manager and floccus has barely any activity. It may be my nextcloud server, which resides on a raspberry pi 4? However, the file synchronisation works just fine and floccus was performing well before with the same configuration. I tried with WebDAV and Bookmarks app none of them works, not in chrome nor in firefox, and I don't know why. It just sits there and does nothing. I removed the bookmarks from the browser and I tried to sync from the App, but it did not work either. I will put it to rest for a while as I don't have the time to investigate now.
For the next while, I will use for the sync provided by the browser for now even if this means that Firefox and Brave/Chrome will not have a common repository.

@truegreyhound I don't have much experience in hosting a WebDAV server. Would you mind adding your config to the wiki, so other people can benefit? :)
