Sync stops after initial sync

[kickthemooon]

What happened?
devspace sync --config devspace.yaml command exists after initial sync

[info]   Using namespace 'my-namespace'
[info]   Using kube context 'my-context'
[info]   Waiting for pods...
[info]   Starting sync...
[info]   Start syncing
[done] √ Sync started on /local/path <-> /remote/path (Pod: my-pod-name)
[info]   Waiting for initial sync to complete

[info]   Upstream - Successfully processed 11244 change(s)

What did you expect to happen instead?
expected it to keep running and keep syncing

How can we reproduce the bug? (as minimally and precisely as possible)
devspace.yaml

version: v1beta10
dev:
  sync:
    - labelSelector:
        app: myapp
      containerName: my-container
      namespace: my-namespace
      containerPath: /app
      uploadExcludePaths:
        - "have/44/paths/under/upload/exclude"
      downloadExcludePaths:
        - "have/75/paths/under/download/exclude"

Local Environment:

• DevSpace Version: 5.14.4
• Operating System: mac

/kind bug

Hi, can we reopen this issue? I'm having the same problem on version 5.14.4 for devspace sync and devspace dev.

When using devspace dev, my config looks like this:

version: v1beta10

dev:
  sync:
  - labelSelector:
      app.kubernetes.io/name: mylabel
      app.kubernetes.io/component: appserver
    containerName: django-uwsgi
    excludePaths:
    - .git/
    - node_modules/

This used to work before upgrading versions.

Local Environment:

DevSpace Version: 5.14.4 Operating System: mac

@atainter could you post the complete output of devspace dev? Does it work if you use polling instead?

[DanArlowski]

it happens to me on some windows OS's too, but the same config works on Mac/Linux...

[FabianKramm]

@DanArlowski does it just stop after the Initial sync completed message or how does the output look exactly?

I am seeing this issue happening with latest devspace 5.16.2, OS - Mac Catalina It has been working for a month and now only downstream sync happens for any file changes inside the container. Upstream sync is not happening after the initial sync. No output after the Initial sync completed message.

even tried with 5.16.0 which was working for me well last week. Now upstream sync is currently broken.

@FabianKramm What could stop upstream sync after initial sync ? and only downstream sync works.

I'm seeing the same problem as @EdwinPhilip above. I'm running macOS Monterey Version 12.4 (21F79) and devspace version 5.18.5.
