Describe the Bug

My sync fails because I created a new folder with new bookmarks in it, and the logs specify that the new bookmarks are created before the new folder:

E001: Folder to create in doesn't exist

Log:

2025-01-09T20:23:39.156Z Server: executing CREATEs
2025-01-09T20:23:39.156Z Executing action  { type: 'CREATE',

       - #27[Support: MyDigital](XXX) parentId: 26 }

Shouldn't this be the other way around?

Expected Behavior

That the folder is created and the bookmarks are in there.

To Reproduce

Create a new folder, create new bookmarks, run sync. Perhaps try to reorder what you already had.

Hello 👋

Thank you for taking the time to open this issue with floccus. I know it's frustrating when software
causes problems. You have made the right choice to come here and open an issue to make sure your problem gets looked at
and if possible solved.
I'm Marcel and I created floccus a few years ago, maintaining it ever since. I currently work for Nextcloud
which leaves me with less time for side projects like this one than I used to have.
I still try to answer all issues and if possible fix all bugs here, but it sometimes takes a while until I get to it.
Until then, please be patient.
Note also that GitHub is a place where people meet to make software better together. Nobody here is under any obligation
to help you, solve your problems or deliver on any expectations or demands you may have, but if enough people come together we can
collaborate to make this software better. For everyone.
Thus, if you can, you could also have a look at other issues to see whether you can help other people with your knowledge
and experience. If you have coding experience it would also be awesome if you could step up to dive into the code and
try to fix the odd bug yourself. Everyone will be thankful for extra helping hands!
To continue the development and maintenance of this project in a sustainable way it is expected that you donate to the project when opening a ticket,
if you're not a donor already. You can find donation options at https://floccus.org/donate/. Thank you!

One last word: If you feel, at any point, like you need to vent, this is not the place for it; you can go to the Nextcloud forum,
to twitter or somewhere else. But this is a technical issue tracker, so please make sure to
focus on the tech and keep your opinions to yourself.

I look forward to working with you on this issue
Cheers 💙

Hi @niels-k-86
I'm not sure if your interpretation of the log is correct.

2025-01-09T20:23:39.156Z Executing action { type: 'CREATE'

Is the general acton execution log statement. Note here that the payload for the CREATE action is already the full folder.

2025-01-09T20:23:39.156Z CREATEFOLDER { folder:

Then the execute function realizes it's a folder and calls the adapter with the createFolder method which logs this line.

Could you share the full log, possibly redacted if you want, so I get a better overview?

It seems it's trying to create the new folder inside of a Folder with ID 3 but that ID belongs to a bookmark. It's not clear to me why that would happen at the moment. Can you try resetting the cache in the profile settings ("Trigger sync from scratch")?

That fixed it :-). Thanks!
