Steps to reproduce

  1. at ~ 12 am tried to make a bookmark

Expected behaviour

  • Bookmark should have been made

Actual behaviour

  • Got an error "Failed to create bookmark", I tried to change the name manually still same error. I tried a few times. Moving my placement in the book, closing and reopening the app. Same error. Gave up put app on a 30 min sleep timer.
  • In the morning I tried to re-create this it made a bookmark. I closed the app , tried again It worked again. (bookmark from last time showed) I then closed the app set my time to ~1:30am(went back ~8 hours) bookmark worked i saw the previous bookmark. Closed app retried worked again.
  • I then closed the app set it to ~12:10am tried again and bookmark failed this time. Pervious bookmarks did not show now.
  • I fixed my time, bookmark failed. Closed the app, tried again and Bookmark fails again and not showing any bookmarks where ever made.
  • Before server showed nothing in logs this time it shows "WARN [User] Create Bookmark already exists for this time". I closed the app reopened the app. fast forwarded a few minutes, let it play. try to create a bookmark, get error , Again previous bookmarks are not showing.
  • I probably broke it messing with my time and going back in time 8 then 9 hours. But it did naturally occur at a bit after 12am.
  • Also should mention Web Browser version does still display my bookmarks that where made , not the failed ones but the ones made this morning. and when I rolled back iOS time 8 hours.

It might not have anything to do with time. It could be that I tried to create a bookmark when a bookmark existed. After it errors out once It will keep erroring out, along side hides the available bookmarks in the iOS app.

I tried to re-create this error, but wasn’t able to. It let me add multiple bookmarks with the same, earlier, or later times without error. Clicking to create a bookmark while on the same time would give me a notification that the bookmark was added successfully, although it wouldn’t actually show a duplicate bookmark. I didn’t attempt to change the name of any of the bookmarks.
I tested with a streaming book, as the bookmark icon doesn’t show on downloaded books.

Its been a few hour sense I tried adding bookmarks. Bookmarks started working again and it shows previous bookmarks. I am now getting same result as myM0T when trying to add a bookmark that already exists says added but server logs show already exists and it doesn't show up in the list. I then closed the app. Opened it up. Bookmark list is now empty. When I try to add a bookmark it gives me and error

I was going to comment that the bookmarks should show up for downloaded books as long as you are connected to the server but I just tested and that appears to be broken. Fully offline bookmarks isn't implemented yet.

Can you test this bookmark issue on the latest release 0.9.60?

I'm still not sure how to reproduce this since a lot of things are changing here. Is this a downloaded book?
