Error on sync: Report ID 160065265 [Component returned failure code: 0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE)]

cfobel

During a sync, I receive the following error:

[JavaScript Error: "[Exception... "Illegal value" nsresult: "0x80070057 (NS_ERROR_ILLEGAL_VALUE)" location: "JS frame :: file:///usr/lib/firefox-3.0.8/components/nsSessionStore.js :: sss_saveState :: line 1909" data: no]" {file: "file:///usr/lib/firefox-3.0.8/components/nsSessionStore.js" line: 1909}]

The sync stops with yellow caution triangle overlayed on the icon. I am running:

-Zotero 1.5b2
-Firefox 3.0.8
-Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex 8.10 x64

Any help would be appreciated.

I tried doing a reset from server and receive the following error (as in Report 1188884205):

[JavaScript Error: "[Exception... "'Cannot add tag to unsaved item in Zotero.Item.addTagByID()' when calling method: [nsIDOMEventListener::handleEvent]" nsresult: "0x8057001e (NS_ERROR_XPC_JS_THREW_STRING)" location: "<unknown>" data: no]"]

Is there any way to figure out which is the offending item? Is there anything else I can do?

This only seems to happen when I try to sink with WebDAV. Sinking meta data only (not files) appears to work. However, WebDAV was working fine before (I'm not sure what has changed).

I tried emptying my 'Trash' collection to see if that would help. Sinking with WebDAV still fails, but now I get a different error (Report ID: 628305017):

[JavaScript Error: "undefined" {file: "chrome://zotero/content/xpcom/storage.js" line: 2504}]

[JavaScript Error: "[Exception... "'Request 'PXJ3PJPC' is already finished' when calling method: [nsIDOMEventListener::handleEvent]" nsresult: "0x8057001e (NS_ERROR_XPC_JS_THREW_STRING)" location: "<unknown>" data: no]"]

I took a look at the 'storage.js' file and tried commenting out line 2504:

Zotero.Sync.Storage.Queue.prototype.logError = function (msg) {
Zotero.debug(msg, 1);
Components.utils.reportError(msg); <-- line 2504
// TODO: necessary?
this._errors.push(msg);
}

This stops the first error, but it's not really helpful since I'm assuming that the root cause of both errors has already occurred at this point.

Any ideas?

I should mention that I'm posting to an Apache server using the DAV module. Syncing with WebDAV used to work fine, so I doubt it's the WebDAV server.

Try this:

gear icon > preferences > sync > reset

then select "restore to zotero server" but make sure you have the most updated version of your library on that computer.
