Conflict Resolution

w.mingjen
I got a syncing problem.

I click the Sync button, and it comes up with a new windows "Conflict Resolution" and needs me to choose between "local object" and "remote object". After my choices, I click "continued", then it comes up with another notification:

Alert
Zotero items in the collection 'AAA' have been added and/or removed on multiple computers since the last sync. The following items have been added to the collection:

Then, it stucks and stays at above "Alert"

    What do you mean by this? Nothing happens when you press OK?

    Same pb to me. I'm regularly syncing mutliple computers and got this error for a few days now.

    After pressing "ok", the alert panel disappears. But the same behavior repeats at every sync move.

    Looks like I cannot sync to my online (university) server anymore : it misses 129 ref. that zotero asks me to deconflict before sync (129 clics !) failure.

    I tried to reset server with local data -> no change ! (strange, huh ?)

    I took a look at the firefox error console. It ends like this :

    ......
    ----------
    Avertissement : The Zotero tag 'Théorie de la connaissance' has been added to and/or removed from items on multiple computers since the last sync. It has been added to the following local items:

    - Contre la méthode : esquisse d'une théorie anarchiste de la connaissance (Feyerabend)
    ----------
    Avertissement : The Zotero tag 'World politics' has been added to and/or removed from items on multiple computers since the last sync. It has been added to the following local items:

    - International interaction analysis: basic research and some practical applications (McClelland et Research)
    ----------
    Erreur : 'Error: No transaction in progress' when calling method: [nsITimerCallback::notify] = NS_ERROR_XPC_JS_THREW_STRING
    ----------
    Erreur : Async statement execution returned with '11', 'database disk image is malformed'

    ----------
    So if the problem comes from this corrupted db, I'd be happy to know how I shall fix it.

    Many thanks.

    On second though, I guess it could be a local firefox corruption pb ?

    (If you haven't provided a Report ID, you haven't reported it.)
    Conflicts have suspended automatic syncing. Click the sync icon to resolve them.
    Are you actually performing a manual sync (i.e., clicking the sync icon)? You'll get the above message until you do.

    If so, provide a Debug ID for a manual sync attempt that produces a sync error. Make sure not to include an automatic sync in the output.
