Syncing Failed with Web Clipper

[CausticChemist 0]

Every time I use Webclipper, the sync fails and returns a SYNC_FAILED unknown error

I've tried it on Chrome and Edge but didn't see a difference in the error logs. Clipping the article, simplified article, and screenshot all produce the same results.

Here is the error logs - It seems fine with auto syncing but then when I clip at 7:15, it returns the error Listener is already registered. Any idea what's up with this?

Hi.  What device and OS?  And what's Listener?

[CausticChemist 0]

Hi! Device is home computer, Windows OS. No idea what Listener could mean? I've tried uninstalling the Web Clipper, clearing my cache of evernote cookies and data, and reinstalling. No dice.

Hmmn.  We're talking about sync for the installed Evernote app here,  right?  While using Clipper will prompt a sync so you can see what you just clipped,  the browser extension and the app are not linked.  Try troubleshooting the sync issues with some help from here - Tips for troubleshooting syncing issues

Hi @CausticChemist, thanks for reporting this. What version were you on with the log snippet you shared? 7.18 is currently the latest. Also, I see you mention it happens every time regardless of clip style - but is this error happening for you on all sites as well or just some? Do you remember any specific or general steps to reproduce when this happens by chance?

@Jay-Bob

I have the same issue. This issue has existed for several months and has not been fixed...

Evernote extension version: 7.19.0

Browser version: Chrome 98.0.4758.102 macOS

ERR Channel: Message 'tabClipper.clip' failed with error: UNK/SYNC_FAILED

How to reproduce: Clipping more than one page at the same time has a high chance of raising this error. The issue can be reproduced on any page, it will happen often but not always

1. Open page 1 and click "Save clip"
2. Open page 2 and click "Save clip" while page 1 is clipping

or

1. Open page 1 and start web clipper
2. Open page 2 and start web clipper
3. Switch to page 1 and click "Save clip"
4. Switch to page 2 and click "Save clip"

Both pages have a chance of random errors

Thank you @Zec for the additional details, we've intermittently been able to reproduce similar behavior as well. Our development team is aware of this and will be investigating, but I don't have an estimate yet on when to expect this to be fixed.
