Unexpected JSON token warning
Hi,
Since few days I receive weird warnings from the app on Android. The app is notifying the following:
Unexpected JSON token at offset 0: Cannot begin reading element, unexpected token: 127
JSON input:
I suspect that one file is broken but I don't know how to find that file. I checked manually the last changed files in the syncthing directory but I found nothing clearly wrong. I have no conflicting files. If I add new entries to the calendar, the devices sync without problems except the notification on Android.
I have no idea how the ASCII DEL character can end up in the files, but if you use Linux I think you can look for the broken file by executing grep -re "\x{FF}" ~/.local/share/decsync.
Unfortunately I couldn't find any weird character on the device files. The problem persisted.
Now, while forcing the same device to update to v2 for tasks, the problem is magically gone, so I cannot help with further debugging.
Well. After sanitizing my shared folder I got a period of few days where everything worked fine.
Today after a sudden unwanted reboot of the phone, the error came back. I grepped the folder looking for the offending file without success.
Is it possible that the character ended up in the database due to a sudden forced kill of the app?
I got the annoying notification every time the app try to refresh.
The problem was solved when I cleared the app cache through the system settings.
Which favours the database issue hypothesis.
