all tasks deleted after sync with RTM

Same here, lost all my tasks after a sync with RTM today. Using version 0.3-0~ubuntu114. Subsequent syncs seem to be successful, but the task list is still empty. Tried to close and restart GTG, deleted the rtm-sync folder, still no luck.

Same problem with GTG 0.2.4 on opensuse 11.2.

The problem persists with version 0.3.0~ubuntu116. At this point, I can't sync with RTM at all, as it deletes all the tasks every single time (I backed up the .config and .local folders). I thought this was on RTM's side, so I deleted all tasks on RTM, deleted .local/share/gtg/plugins/rtm-sync/taskpairs, and did a sync. All went well, the tasks showed up in RTM and in GTG. Second sync: all tasks got deleted in GTG. More importantly, .local/share/gtg/plugins/rtm-sync/taskpairs is almost empty (attached). Maybe this can shed some light on what's going on?

I've got the same problem here, so I looked through the code and noticed that there is a small error ocurring in line 102 of file 'rtmProxy.py': the itens of 'task_list_global' list are also lists, but with only one element (they were expected to be plain "dotted"s, instead).
If you change line 101 from "task_list_global= map(get_list_of_taskseries, lists_id_list)" to "task_list_global= map(lambda item: item[0] if type(item) == list and len(item) >= 1 else item, map(get_list_of_taskseries, lists_id_list))" the problem is solved. I think it's only a palliative solution (there must be an elegant way of dealing with this list!), but it's working well for now!

@Alan:
Thanks Alan, that worked like a charm!
I got all my tasks back from RTM with all subcategories as supposed.

rtmProxy.py in my system is in:
/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/GTG/plugins/rtm_sync/rtmProxy.py

Hello,

I'v the same bug.
The ligne Alan gives correct this.
The file on my UNE 10.10 is in :
/usr/share/gtg/GTG/plugins/rtm-sync/
Thanks for the correction

Thank's Alan!

It works like a charm!!

Thanks a lot Alan! I've updated the PPA. It seems that RTM changed something in the API, since in about a week we've received tens of reports. A much improved way to sync with RTM (synchronizing in background when you're online) is in the pipeline: i think we'll be releasing it in August.

Hi Luca!

Thank's for the information!

I think it would be a good idea to post on the GTG-homepage, that there
is a new version in the pipeline, because a lot of people will be
waiting for it and they will see that there is still development in GTG
- much do think, that there is no more improvement.

Yep, I'll do that in a few days, when our Google Summer of Code
students will be announced.

Thanks so much for this fix! Glad to have fine folks like you in the community!

Thank you Alan!
Worked perfectly! Needed to restore some label colors and such but no biggie.

Hitting this in the default 11.04 package, the proposed fix works well for me.
