My tasks have been deleted

[nerif-tafu]

Hi

I opened up the program today and all my lists and tasks have been wiped. Any idea on where I can hunt for a backup or anything.

Look at ~/.var/app/io.github.mrvladus.List/data/errands/ there should be data.json

[mrvladus]

Do you use sync?

[nerif-tafu]

I have never used sync no. I found the old data in ~/.var/app/io.github.mrvladus.List/data/list/data.json

[mrvladus]

copy it somewhere and launch errands from terminal:

flatpak run io.github.mrvladus.List

then copy output and send me

I experienced the same/similar issue: opened Errands today (Jan 5, 2025) and all lists/tasks are missing.

• No syncing (network access for Errands has been manually disabled (via flatseal) since initial install)
• OS: Fedora release 41, GNOME: 47.2
• Errands Version: 46.2.7 (the only version ever installed on my system since Dec 18, 2024)

  $ flatpak history | grep mrvladus
  Dec 18 09:13:43	deploy install	io.github.mrvladus.List.Locale	stable	system	flathub
  Dec 18 09:13:46	deploy install	io.github.mrvladus.List	stable	system	flathub
  

In the output below, I'm not sure what created data.json.old on 2025-01-04, also I noticed data.json contained only the empty json list/dict structure template for Errands (i.e. all of my existing lists/tasks were gone).

# PWD: ~/.var/app/io.github.mrvladus.List/data/errands

$ ls -l
total 1960
-rw-r--r--. 1 me me   10863 [2025-01-05] (12:25:40) data.json
-rw-r--r--. 1 me me       0 [2025-01-04] (09:04:39) data.json.old
-rw-r--r--. 1 me me 1992288 [2025-01-05] (12:46:19) log.txt

Just providing this info in case it's helpful, thanks.
