Desktop: Gramps v5.2.3 on MacOS Ventura 13.7
Server: Gramps Web v5.2.3 (API 2.5.0, FE 24.10.0) on Fedora Linux 40 SE
Once in a while when syncing from desktop to Gramps Web I get a strange error, where the sync says a number of objects on remote site has been deleted and or changed.
I only make changes on the desktop, so this is quite strange. When this happens I just select sync mode “Reset remote to local”, so no harm.
Hi, interesting. Do you always sync from the same desktop computer? Can you please check whether on one of the machines, the time is not set correctly? Sync uses timestamps to decide which side is newer. (The time zone doesn’t matter, only UTC time.)
Both machines uses automatic time setting, though they are not using the same time server (NTP). Both are using the same time zone (CET).
I have been running Gramps Web since late May this year. First time I saw this problem, I thought it was related to I had added a mother with a child without a father, but later occurences of the problem has happened without such special data.
Is it possible to have a sync log ?
The best way to diagnose the problem is to wait until it occurs again, abort the sync, and then export a Gramps XML from both sides and look at the difference between the offending objects in the two XMLs. Also look at the last sync timestamp in the webapisync.ini in your Gramps directory. With this information, we can find the root cause.
