Trouble with webdav sync on MIUI (Xiaomi)

[alex9099]

Hey,

I'm trying to sync my local database with a nextcloud instance, but it looks like i'm having some trouble, this is are the logs on my webdav/nextcloud server:

IP - alexandre [17/Apr/2020:23:35:41 +0100] "PROPFIND /remote.php/dav/files/alexandre/ HTTP/1.1" 207 17904

IP - alexandre [17/Apr/2020:23:35:41 +0100] "HEAD /remote.php/dav/files/alexandre/somefolder/metadata.json HTTP/1.1" 404 -

IP - alexandre [17/Apr/2020:23:35:41 +0100] "HEAD /remote.php/dav/files/alexandre/someotherfolder/metadata.json HTTP/1.1" 404 -

But the problem seems to be that nothing is found, either i'm using the wrong link or... idk

The SyncAdapter file doesn't seem to be populated, i have activated debug

I would like to buy myexpenses (well, or do a direct donation :) ), i have used it quite a lot in the past, and now i will start using it again, though it would be nice to have syncing working

Just tested with another public instance of nextcloud and it doesn't seem to be working

The problem might be that the web server does not allow HEAD requests. Could you send me a feedback request from the app's settings to let me understand which app version you are using.

The version doesn't seem to be the most recent, it's the one on fdroid

The public instance of nextcloud I tried was wölkli one that was suggested on nextcloud's website

I tested wölkli, and it works here. For a folder created at the root level called MeineAusgaben, the URL I use is https://cloud.woelkli.com/remote.php/dav/files/[email protected]/MeineAusgaben/

Strange, it registers fine on the app, but no files seem to be created, how would I debug this?

Since you are using a Xiaomi device, please verify, that you are not hit by the problem described in #450 .

Yeah, that was it, damn miui firmware... Always breaking stuff, hoping to get official lineageos soon :)

Anyway, perhaps you can put a warning for miui users to enable autostart?
