XO task watcher issue/CR broken

JamfoFL

@olivierlambert Thank you... yes, shortly after I replied, I did figure out how to "roll back" and am currently on commit bf51b945c5348ba76459e603be87416d3415b264, which is the last commit I was on when everything worked. With my XO on that commit, I am now able to run my routine backups and am in the process of doing so! I had no backups due to the error, so I want to get at least one good one for my test machines to make sure I'm covered.

I ran the "git branch" as you asked and can confirm I see two branches listed, master and cr-issue. The "*" was next to master (and it was highlighted in green), so I am assuming that is the current branch I am on.

So... now that everything appears to be working again, are you saying you would like me to run "git checkout 2de9984945a970b7e2273e69c4c89662156d1824" to update to the latest version? Does that have the effect of bypassing all of the commits between the working bf51b and the very latest 2de99? I'd hate to have done all of this and got my backups working only to break them again. I do realize I need to get up-to-date at some point!

Thanks!

You can't stick forever at a commit "because it works". As a source user, you need to stay up to date on a recent basis, otherwise you might have other issues you can't see at first.

But in your case, your useful contribution in the project can be to check the commit just after the "working one" for you (so the commit just after bf51b94) and see if it still works. If it doesn't, it's certain that the issue is the first faulty commit. It will help @julien-f to find the bug

You can instantly rollback to the previous known commit for you.

If you don't rebuild after a commit change, this won't change anything. You must rebuild every time you change a commit or update to the latest commit!

@olivierlambert OK... I am happy to help!

Let me take a little time to capture good, working backups of my lab environment so I have that peace of mind, and then I will start applying each of the subsequent commits until I can report the specific commit that starts the issue.

This may take a little time, as I can report when it first happened (on Monday, Feburary 6th) everything did seem to work for several hours after I applied the three commits that were published that day:

2f65a86aa08a8c05de0f5d864994b560f528d364
2a70ebf66711030cf6e277aeabc64037548b9a6b
55920a58a32e01a3ea0b966c8f6f542f835e936a

It wasn't until well into the evening of Monday night when the first CR backups started to fail, and everything seemed to cascade from there. So, I will incrementally apply each commit and will let it run for a day or two (unless if fails sooner, of course). Once I have the definitive commit where things break, I will report that back right away.

Thanks you for all your help!

Thank you for helping us to track down the issue, this is truly helpful

OK... just an update. Everything has been working perfectly on bf51b94 for the past few days, so I have just updated to the next commit after that one, 263c23a.

I will continue to monitor and if things keep working, will move to the next commit in line.

@JamfoFL Thank you for your all your testing

We have fixed a connection issue last Friday, and I'm currently working on additional fixes, I'll let you know as soon as it's available so that you will be able to test latest changes!

JamfoFL

@julien-f Awesome! Thank you for the update.

JamfoFL

@julien-f I just wanted to update and let you know that whatever changes you made fixed the issue for me permanently! I have been able to routinely update since that time and have had no further issues.

Thanks for all of your hard work, Julien-f!
