[lostintangent]

Hmm, that's no good. Thanks for reporting this! Just to confirm: you only see this issue after leaving a gist file open for a while and then trying to edit it? If you closed the file and then re-opened/edited it, does syncing work fine?

[bpmct]

Closing and re-opening the gist does not seem to resolve the issue. It maintains the local copy but never syncs

[lostintangent]

If you refresh the gist tree, does that resolve the issue? And also, just to confirm: is this related to a file in a gist as opposed to a file in a GistPad-managed repo?

[bpmct]

This is related to a file in a gist. I was able to replicate it again by leaving my window open for ~ 30 minutes. Hitting the refresh button does not work as well as closing and opening the file. I noticed that the linting does not work also. When I try to close, I run into this.

Were the logs I provided helpful?

[bpmct]

@lostintangent anything I can help with this?

[disco0]

I've had similar output in my Window log for awhile, possibly a few months even—I can't remember it correlating with saving (or when it even started for that matter) but during regular Code usage a few sections in output log errors with the same description, if not code location as well:

[whilp]

FWIW, I see this consistently when editing gists using eg vscode.dev. As the original reporter described, everything works great for a bit, but then updates no longer commit. If I refresh vscode.dev, whatever work was in progress is lost. When this happens during eg notebook development (w/ vscode-pyodide), use GistPad to create a new file, copy the current notebook cells to it, delete the old file, and rename the new file to get back in business.

[carlocardella]

@bpmct, @whilp, can you still repro with the latest GistPad version?

[joewelds]

@carlocardella I am experiencing this on v0.4.1. Started yesterday for me.

[julienadam]

@carlocardella Can confirm too, this is happening right now after about 30 minutes of editing with the same exact error in the Extension Host window log. It started happening a few days ago but I didn't realize and unfortunately lost quite a bit of work, not a big deal but still annoying.

I tried refreshing the gist with the Refresh Gists command, it didn't solve the issue.

I couldn't find any temp or cached files to recover in Roaming/Code or elsewhere. If there are any, I would love to know where I can find.

Incidentally, #266 would be really great for backup purposes !

Here's the log :

[julienadam]

I kept VS Code open and made a few more tests.

Adding a new file with the same contents in the same gist but a different name works, the new file is properly saved to the gist every time I save in the editor. The error message keeps popping up though so it might be a red herring, or an underlying issue related to the faulty file, I don't know.

Once the problem started, it affected 2 files from 2 different gists. The faulty gist files stay faulty if I close the editor tab and reopen them.

Other files from other gists I just opened are not affected. I'll wait a bit and report later, see if it's time related.

Probably unrelated but the files I had problems with were all .md markdown files.

[julienadam]

Still more tests.

If I rename the faulty file to something else, the problem disappears, changes are saved correctly. If I rename it back to the original name, it stops saving again. So it looks like it's related to a specific filename in a specific gist. Other files with the same filename in other gists are not affected.

When trying to exit vscode I got a popup saying "Saving editors with unsaved changes is taking a bit longer..." that I had to cancel followed by another one saying "Closing the window is taking a bit longer... The following operations are still running: - Saving text files".

After restarting VS Code, the faulty files were still faulty.

I also tried and succeeded editing the faulty file online using gist.

After that I restarted VS Code and the problem finally disappeared (could be a coincidence as another faulty gist file that I did not edit online started working again too)...

[julienadam]

Found possibly relevant error messages in the Runtime status tab, "Uncaught Errors" section of the extension tab. It may have been a case of too many CTRL-S in a short period of time ?
