Pathbuilder 2e Web - new login, neeed testers
Added 2022-11-02 11:22:54 +0000 UTCHi,
I've updated the google login and gdrive code in Pathbuilder 2e Web to the latest google libraries (they're shutting down the old way of logging in). I could really use some people to test it! It's only in the beta folder on the website, and I really want to make sure that it works before rolling it out fully. v56.

If you're a gdrive user on the web version and you're up for testing please give it a go (maybe not with your main character though just in case something does go wrong).
After the first login fix, you shouldn't really notice much difference aside from the google login popup popping up and whirring every time you start the gdrive.
In particular though, things to watch out for:
1) The google popup being blocked and the save not being completed.
2) The gdrive doesn't work after sleep, long period of not being used.
I'm pretty sure I've caught these pitfalls and it is working properly, but I could do with more testers looking at it. Hopefully this will also fix the issue some people have reported where the gdrive stops working on ipads.
If you do have any issues with it please either open a bug report or comment here.
Thanks,
Dave

I don't think it is going to be solveable with google drive, as there isn't a way of listening for changes to update the one that is already open. I'll have a think about if there is anything else that can be done.

2022-12-12 07:46:50 +0000 UTCAfter using the beta version of the app for a month it has been mostly flawless. The only time I had an issue was when I was switching between my MacBook and iPad regularly, probably in combination with switching tab-groups in Safari on both devices as well. The issue that came up was that one of my characters was overwritten by an older version of itself. My guess is that I had an older version open on one of my devices without noticing, and by clicking something interactive (spell casting, item tracking or something similar) made the character sync. This kind of version management is a tough concept, so I'm not even sure how it should be handled or if this can be considered a bug or expected behaviour. I figured I would let you know. All in all I'm really happy with the improvement.
