Tomboy Web synchronization fails

Hmm I get a failure, but my error message is subtly different:

ERROR]: Failed to get auth URL from https://one.ubuntu.com/notes/. Exception was: System.UriFormatException: Absolute URI is too short
  at System.Uri.Parse (UriKind kind, System.String uriString) [0x00000]

filing that as a seperate bug

as soon as I can remember how to avoid the redirection...

per discussion, my bug is likely related despite the different output.

For these 2 errors you need the new tomboy package from this branch -> https://code.edge.launchpad.net/~rodrigo-moya/tomboy/support-oauth-10a which is waiting in the karmic queue.

To build the package from the branch, just cd to the branch top level dir and:

$ bzr bd -- -b

Please note that today I started syncing successfully, but I found an error in our couchdb code (put_record) that seems to not deal correctly with unicode characters, and the bullets from lists in tomboy notes are unicode chars, so if you have a note with any bullet or any other unicode character, the server will fail with a 500 Internal Server Error.

If the notes just contain normal text (and markup), the syncing should work

Thanks. I do have bullets in some of my notes, so I suppose I'll wait for that to shake out.

I got a successful auth, but when clicking save to initially sync notes, it tomboy failed with this error:

Ok, so the problem seems to be the "content-version" field, which Tomboy expects to be a double, not a string. Fixed that on a branch I'm working on, which I'll submit soon

I'm still getting a failure to sync a note today:

branch approved and merged to trunk

Rodrigo,

Is this fix in the tomboy code, or the ubuntu one server code? If in tomboy, do you know if it will be packaged in the normal karmic repo, the ubuntuone-beta ppa or both?

Ryan, the fix was in Tomboy, which is already in Karmic, and on the server, which is about to be deployed.

Elliot, that's a new thing. Seems the server is returning HTML for the /api/1.0/user call, which it shouldn't, unless something has changed on the @oauth decorators?

Tomboy notes sync w/ U1 is working for me now -- I have it going on my karmic notebook and netbook. Thanks!

Seems that there are a lot of different Bugs, that prevent a sucsessful Sync.
I have Karmic with up-to-date packages. Tomboy Sync still fails with an Internal Server Error.
There are a lot ob Bullets and Unicode characters in my Notes, ist this Serverside Bug still actual?

Here is the conosole Output:

BTW, I just tried to sync again, and now it isn't working. Looks like all of this is rather up in the air.

Jason, we recently fixed another problem in the server, so it should be ok now again. Anyway, if you find new problems, file a different bug, please
