Thank you for so quickly taking on the feedback and making adjustments to the plugin. I’ve given the 0.1.14 release some testing today. Below are the problems I have found:
- Everything was working fine until I decided to sync a large MP3 attachment of 12.5mb. The file wasn’t able to sync. The first problem that occurred following the attempt to sync was that the live syncing aspect of the plugin stopped working. Manually replicating the database worked initially for a few moments, but that eventually also stopped working. Then, if I attempted to sync the database at all, I received a “Replication error” message. Unfortunately, I couldn’t seem to copy from the Sync Status log to send it to you, but I did see an endless “->replication paused, ->Replication activated” loop. The only fix to this problem was to delete the Cloudant database and create a new one. After creating a new Cloudant database, I decided to sync a smaller MP3 file instead but this led me to the same replication loop problem. I find this quite odd as I’d synced several MP3 attachments prior to trying the large 12.5mb file with no problems, so I’m not sure what triggered the error.
- Sometimes if a new file is created on one device, syncing on another device presents a “could not write to local (newfile:plain) new file.md” error message, despite the file syncing fine with no problems.
- If a new folder is created on one device, the change does not appear on other devices unless a file is inserted within the new folder. This means it is impossible to create empty folders that sync between devices.
As for the problems in my previous comment, these seem to have been resolved for the most part as of my recent testing which is great to see. Good work!
I was also wondering if it might be possible for you to add instructions on setting up a self-hosted CouchDB server, accessible from the internet for use with the plugin, to the readme?
A lot of the documentation regarding this found on Stack Overflow, etc, refers to much older releases of CouchDB that isn’t very relevant.
That would be great for those of us trying to avoid the 1GB storage cap on the Cloudant Lite tier or wanting to keeping our files stored on our own devices!
