GitHub saving tips?

[Cade Roux]

I have a TW file in GitHub.  I set up all the parameters for GitHub saving, they seem to be correct.  I got some errors in XMLHttpRequest 409, which perhaps indicates that a commit was not allowed due to a conflict?  Sometimes it gives that error or sometimes it just sits there with the red check in a circle.  Either way, nothing is committing to GitHub.

Any tips on what to look at?

Thanks,

Cade

It might help if you could show a screen shot of your set up.

I found that you MUST specify

Path to target file (e.g. /wiki/)

That is, that field can not be blank. I was using the top level, so put in /

Good luck!

[Cade Roux]

Sure.

I have a token in the password

This is what GitHub looks like in the Web interface:

Does it save if you switch to master?

On mine, I got everything to work, including working on development branch. Then I downloaded and reloaded the file, and after that

I couldn't get it work on "development". I had the same 409 message. Then I switched back to "master" and it worked OK again.

Suggests there's a bug somewhere, that retains "master" as a default.

Good luck!

Let me try that.  I did originally have develop instead of development because another repo used that convention and I got a 404.

So I merged everything into master, switched over to master, pulled everything, opened the file from the filesystem in browser, switched it over to master, put in user name, edited a tiddler and clicked save:

But - it does say in GitHub "Saved by TiddlyWiki"

Thanks,

This is definitely one for Jeremy.

How about if you delete your file from the master on github, reload your local copy, and reset github settings to use master? Then can you at least use master?

I found that by going through a similar sequence I could get ONE save on the development branch. It seems like github doesn't like the development branch

getting out of synch with the master branch. But exactly how that works is a mystery ...

Good luck!

Same happens on master branch.

Cade,
Have a look at

And check the FAQ

Hi Mohammad,

Have you tried saving to a branch other than master? For me, it works just once

to push to a different branch. After that there is a 409 error. I notice your example

is still on the master.

Thanks!

Hi Cade

For me nothing happened and the save button remains red!

I confirm there is somewhere something wrong!

No success on other branches!

[Mohammad]

Hi Mark,

 I failed to save in other branches!

But I don't see any error message!

The bad thing is when you click the save button even when everything is correct

Tiddlywiki does not show "Start to saving" like when you save to tiddlyspot!

So seems everything is performed silently and user cannot realize does TW start saving or there is some errors occured in this between.

[Mohammad]

Mark,

after several trials I was able to save to another branch. Strangely on GitHub I see this message

Your recently pushed branches: gh-pages

gh-pages is the name of branch I used instead of master.

By the way the saving was successful!

I hope Jeremy could have a look on saving mechanism in TW 5.1.20.

Hi Everyone

Apologies, I'm late to this thread. What's the current status? Do we have bugs, or do we need to improve the docs?

The error HTTP 409 typically means that the file has changed on Git inbetween the start of the save operation and its conclusion; this can happen very easily if save operations overlap.

We may need to patch things to detect that a save is in progress.

Best wishes

Jeremy

I'm not sure - nothing is being committed to GitHub outside of TW in my testing, and I get the fresh file before starting, so I think there might very well be a timing issue.  It's hard to see what's going on, I guess I should probably pull up the browser dev tools and look at traffic.

Thanks,

For me, I can save to master but not to any other branch. I am not rapid-firing saves. The 409 is consistent whenever I try a branch other than master. The first time

I use a new branch, it works (sends the file), but all subsequent attempts fail. Since timing may depend on whether you're using a master or a sub-branch, it

could relate to that.

Thanks Mark, Cade. That's helpful, I'll do some testing.

Best wishes

Hi Jeremy!

My experiments shows

• When save to GitHub you don't see the "Start to save" as we see for tiddlyspot. So you can realize if clicking button start saving or not
• When save using master branch it works fine
• When save using master branch and sub-folder, TW create the folder if it is not exist and it works fine
• When save to other branch, most of the time the first save is successful and the subsequent save shows Error 409

I hope these help to locate the issues.
