BUG: MAL is not syncing correctly.

[Droyk]

You are about to read some bad English. and I am really sorry about it. I am not a native English speaker. I am not really good at explaining things so plz forgive if you don't understand a thing.

Hey guys I just found a Bug So When I first Installed Toshocat and sync my anime list It got synced correctly But there is a bug in it

Toshocat only syncs correctly from the MAL for the first time only after that it only updates MAL list. But if the user add a anime through MAL not from toshocat it won't sync a damn thing

I tried too many times I even reload toshocat and re add my credentials but it won't sync MAL it just update MAL. Is there is anything I can do?

Edit: I forgot to write that the syncing message comes up and it even shows it got synced correctly but in reality it won't sync a damn thing.

It takes a few minutes to update.

Toshocat gets its info directly from MyAnimeList and it takes a few minutes for this endpoint to show the changes: http://myanimelist.net/malappinfo.php?type=anime&status=all&u=USERNAME

[Droyk]

How many minutes do I have to wait? because it's been 10 minutes but it didn't sync at all. I can only see that blue popup that tell's you it's syncing then after 1 to 2 seconds the blue popup change into green and says syncing complete but still in reality it didn't at all.

why does it take that much to being with?

[tofuness]

@Droyk I'll look into it!

@tofuness Why does it take that much to being with?

[tofuness]

@Droyk The MyAnimeList API doesn't update instantly - its results are cached. I'll try and contact MyAnimeList and see if they can fix it on their side.

[Droyk]

Okay by the way how much it took it on your system? Well For me its been 25 minutes since I open Toshocat but still no syncing :(

[Droyk]

One hour still no progress.. can you plz tell where you store the synced Anime list. I am thinking of deleting the list maybe that can help?

[tofuness]

@Droyk

1. Open up the developer tools through the top-left menu.
2. Go to the resources tab > click on local storage > file://.
3. Finally, select the list.myanimelist line and delete it (and then reload the app).

[Droyk]

Okay that fixed it but not completely but at least now I have a workaround until you patch this bug up. And I just notice something Every time I hit Re-sync with MyAnimeList on settings panel it give the below error on developer console. See if this helps you to solve the problem

[Droyk]

Hey what happened @tofuness did you stop developing this anymore?

[tofuness]

@Droyk Development currently stalled. Got other things to do atm.

[Droyk]

So do you plan to work on this again if yes will you be able to tell me an approximate time it's going to take?

[tofuness]

@Droyk Yes, I do plan on working on this again. Hopefully I'll get a new major version out on a month or two!

[Droyk]

Okay thanx :)
