Unexpected behavior with restoring previous notes versions

Del · 24 February 2021 22:58

Hello,

I am using Joplin in following environment:

Joplin 1.7.11 (prod, win32)

ID client : f1e379318d8b41c3a2575784fe35b2aa
Version de Synchro : 2
Version du profil : 34
Trousseau supporté : Non

Révision : f560563d8 (master)

I am somehow unable to restore previous versions from notes (that I have updated at several different points of time.
Can you please help me to understand what this (+0) mean in this screenshot:

Indeed, for all these (+0) "version" the restore functionality doesn't work. It seems to work with the other versions.

I also attach the log files:
errors-console.txt (163.3 KB)
The file log.txt seems to be too big for an upload here.

Thanks in advance for your help

I think it is the number of bytes added and removed from a note ( could be chars, or several bytes for an icon added, etc.). Strange is that none of my notes shows "+0".

Thanks @ajay for your clarifications. You confirm my first rough assumptions.

I regularly update my notes (most of the time on the desktop application, see references above), and I find it strange that those notes don't show any history:

Or only "non-functional" history with this (+0).

I also use the android app and sync with my dropbox.
I have checked the history settings in both android & desktop: History is configured as active and is kept for 90 days.

There might be something wrong in my database or my configuration... Does anyone have an idea? Can the log in my previous post above help to understand what is wrong with my settings / configuration?

Thanks

Consider the following cure, it cannot do harm:

backup
set "keep history" to 0 (it is not enough to disable history !)
restart
set it back to a low value you like (e.g. 3 days)
Then observe what happens and let us know.

Sorry, I cannot come up with any better.

What I find strange is that a snapshot is created even though there was no change. Or there was a snapshot created and the data was wiped out. Which is also not really possible, because the snapshots are stored cumulative, which means the note is missing data.

I don't use the "note history" feature and I don't know that part of the code. This is something @laurent would have to look into.

From the log, I'd assume that there actually is a revision, but it cannot be parsed. However, I might be completely wrong

Right, but then it should not show up as a revision, since the log tells us that it couldn't create one.

I really think that Laurent will have to look into this.

roman_r_m · 27 February 2021 21:49

You seem to have text with diacritics in your note, I wonder if this is what's causing the issue,
I could not find any related open or closed issue in this lib's repo but this of course does not mean anything -- there's just a handful of issues in total so it does not seem to be widely used.

Del · 28 February 2021 11:24

I confirm your observation @roman_r_m : I write my notes in french, and there are diacritics in the french language.
If this may help, I also use emoticons in some of my notes.
