Syncing not getting note list after upgrade

[volt4ire]

After upgrading to version 1.1 on Ubuntu 18.10 via pip, I am now getting the sync error message of "could not get note list from server." I tried removing my .nvpy directory and recreating my .nvpy.cfg file with my simplenote credentials but it has not fixed the error.

My nvpy.log states:
2019-04-02 06:15:06,027 - DEBUG - nvpy logging initialized
2019-04-02 06:15:06,028 - DEBUG - config read from ['/home/rwbarat/.nvpy.cfg']
2019-04-02 06:15:06,219 - DEBUG - Starting full sync.
2019-04-02 06:15:06,221 - DEBUG - Retrieving full note list from server, could take a while.

Perhaps the embedded simplenote library needs an update.

I was getting this behaviour when trying to use nvpy installed via pip.

I moved nvpy's embedded copy of the simplenote library out of the way in site-packages, and installed the latest simplenote via pip, and after that nvpy worked.

Thanks for this info! What exactly did this entail? I just tried removing simplenote from ~/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ and upgrading to the latest simplenote version (2.1.2) via 'pip upgrade simplenote' and reinstalling nvpy via 'pip install --upgrade 'git+https://github.com/cpbotha/nvpy.git#egg=nvpy'' but the problem still persists.

You have to delete or move the embedded copy of simplenote within nvpy; because of the way imports in python use paths, nvpy won't find a separate copy of the simplenote library if there is still one in its directory

[volt4ire]

Thanks what is the file path of the embedded copy of simplenote? I can't find it

[rakslice]

If your nvpy is in ~/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/nvpy, it would be ~/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/nvpy/simplenote.py

But I see that pip-installing from the git URL you used does not create it, so perhaps you do not have it.

[volt4ire]

Thanks yeah I didn't have that file so the problem still persists for me

The embeded simplenote client library has been removed since nvpy v1.1.0. So ~/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/nvpy/simplenote.py should not exist.

Nvpy requires the "simplenote" package. Make sure that you have the simplenote v2.1.0 and nvpy v1.1.0 are installed by the following command.

$ pip2 list |grep nvpy
nvpy      1.1.0
$ pip2 list |grep simplenote
simplenote     2.1.0

If above packages is already installed, the package content may be broken. Please remove the following directories/files.

• ~/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/nvpy*
• ~/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/simplenote*

And re-install the nvpy.

$ pip install --upgrade --user nvpy

This issue will be solved by upgrading the nvpy package and dependencies packages. If the issue persists, please reopen this issue.
