Sync Errors Not Returned

I get the following error when syncing my app;

User mismatch for client file identifier (IDENT)

I know why the error is being raised, my question is why isn’t the error returned to my code?

The following shows the log entries raised by the SDK;

My code uses a cancellation token to cancel the procedure if the realm isn’t opened within a suitable timeframe but it would be far more efficient if the SDK returned an error for my code to handle.

Following is the code used;

public static async Task<(bool Synchronised, Realm Realm)> GetSyncedRealm(SyncConfiguration config, int timeout = 2)
{
	Realm realm = null;
	var cts = new CancellationTokenSource();
	cts.CancelAfter(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(timeout));
	try
	{
		realm = await Realm.GetInstanceAsync(config, cts.Token);
		return (true, realm);
	}
	catch (OperationCanceledException)
	{
		return (false, realm);
	}
	catch (Exception ex)
	{
		Trace.WriteLine(ex.GetFirstMessage());
		throw;
	}
}

The error User mismatch for client file identifier (IDENT) is shown multiple times in the log until the cancellation token expires and control is returned to the code. This occurs for other errors raised by the SDK but are never thrown to the calling code to be handled. If the code did get these errors we could take steps to correct the problem.

Hi Andrea,

Thanks for the tip. I tried adding the OnSessionError handler as you suggested;

private async Task SetupRealmEnvironment()
{
	_adminUser = await GetRealmUser(_realmAppId, _realmSettings.AdminUser, _realmSettings.PIN);
	if (_adminUser == null) throw new Exception($"Failed to locate a Realm user for \"{_realmSettings.AdminUser}\".");

	PartitionSyncConfiguration syncConfig = ConnectionService.GetSyncConfig(Enums.AppConfiguration.CrmRealmWebApi, RealmConstants.PUBLIC_PARTITION, _adminUser);

	syncConfig.ClientResetHandler = new ManualRecoveryHandler(HandleResetError);
	//syncConfig.OnSessionError = new SyncConfigurationBase.SessionErrorCallback(HandleSessionError);
	syncConfig.OnSessionError += HandleSessionError;

	(bool IsSynced, Realm realm) result;
	result = await ConnectionService.GetSyncedRealm(syncConfig, 20);

	if (result.realm == null) throw new Exception("Failed to open a synchronised or local realm for the Admin user.");

	if (!result.IsSynced)
	{
		await result.realm.SyncSession.WaitForDownloadAsync();
		result.IsSynced = true;
	}
	_realm = result.realm;
	_driverSvc = new SxRealm.Services.DriverService(_realm);
}

private static void HandleSessionError(Session session, SessionException error)
{
	Console.Write($"{error}");
}

But the code never hit the Console.Write($"{error}"); line even though the following error was displayed in the session logs;

2022-07-19 01:36:06.790 Info: Connection[1]: Session[1]: Received: ERROR "Invalid schema change (UPLOAD): failed to add app schema for ns='mongodb-atlas.DriverApp.Driver' for new top-level schema "Driver": sync-incompatible app schema for the same collection already exists. This app schema is incompatible with error: "property \"AppVersion\" has invalid type: type [string,null] is not supported, property \"DepotId\" has invalid type: type [uuid,null] is not supported, property \"Email\" has invalid type: type [string,null] is not supported, property \"LastPingDtTm\" has invalid type: type [date,null] is not supported, property \"LastProcessedDtTm\" has invalid type: type [date,null] is not supported, property \"Mobile\" has invalid type: type [string,null] is not supported". To continue, delete the app schema in Atlas App Services, or update it to match the app schema defined on the device" (error_code=225, try_again=false, recovery_disabled=false)

As you can see from the code above I tried configuring the handler using;

syncConfig.OnSessionError = new SyncConfigurationBase.SessionErrorCallback(HandleSessionError)

and

syncConfig.OnSessionError += HandleSessionError

Were these hooked up correctly?

Hi Andrea,

Thanks for your assistance however I’m still having problems with the OnSessionError and ClientResetHandler so I’ve raised a support ticket.

Hi Andrea,

This the ticket I raised: 00968351: Using OnSessionError and ClientResetHandler. I attached the test project and the SDK logs to show what was happening.
