OneDrive Sync Error in Desktop App

seffyroff · 2019-02-28T23:23:23.083Z

I setup sync to OneDrive, and signed in as prompted. It appeared to do an initial sync and create files. Browsing the OneDrive web client, I can see /Apps/Joplin has a bunch of actual .md files as well as empty .sync and .resource dirs.

In the Joplin sidebar I see an error below the synchronise button:

Created remote items: 1.
Completed: 28/02/2019 14:40
Last error: SyntaxError: OneDriveApi::exec: Cannot parse JSON error: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">

 <style type="text/css">

Any advice would be welcome!

OneDrive can be a bit random sometimes - does it do it again if you press sync again?

If so, please enable debug mode and post the logs here - https://joplin.cozic.net/debugging

It does repeat if I hit sync again. Running with debug flags, I don’t see any output to the console, but the log.txt contains the following as the most recent event:

Hi,

I am also facing the similar issue. Read something similar on Finance Police. Definitely following this for sure.

Where it says There was some errors, there should be error log statements before that, that would show both that particular error and what path caused it. Could you check if it’s in your log?

Here's the complete log for full analysis.

Does the directory /Apps/Joplin exists on OneDrive? Also are there other directories in there like /Apps/Joplin2, etc.? Did you copy or move file around in these directories?

seffyroff · 2019-03-01T22:10:32.426Z

/Apps/Joplin exists, and contains a bunch of .md files, as well as .sync and .resource dirs (those dirs are empty).
inside the toplevel /Apps/ directory there is also another dir next to Joplin called ‘Fresh Paint’ (another app).

Anything else I can do to help resolve this issue? In the meantime I’m looking at using an alternative sync target.

I’ve been trying to copy all my music to Onedrive for several weeks. It just doesn’t sync. Some of it is on Onedrive, some of it isn’t. I thought it was supposed to be easy. It’s not even a lot of storage, 905 MB. I will have to go through each folder, and manually update what isn’t there.
